Richard Maple:
What are you thinking?

Joan Barlow Maple:
I'm thinking I asked you not to talk. And now you've said things I'll always remember.

Richard Maple:
This could have been a sexy talk.

Richard Maple:
What's that you said earlier about my wanting you to be more interesting than you are? Do you really think that?

Joan Barlow Maple:
Of course. I think you left Jack and me alone deliberately last night.

Richard Maple:
Could I be so perverse?

Joan Barlow Maple:
You're kidding.

Richard Maple:
I don't think you need a lover to be more interesting. I think your pretty interesting anyway. Here... and here...

Joan Barlow Maple:
I said JUST a nap.

Richard Maple:
And here...

Richard Maple:
Your lover just called.

Joan Barlow Maple:
What did he say?

Richard Maple:
Nothing. He hung up.

Joan Barlow Maple:
Want one for the road?

Richard Maple:
One what?

Joan Barlow Maple:
I don't know whether to be insulted or flattered.

Richard Maple:
You can decide later.
