  Maurice : Yeah, very groovy.

• Maurice : Hey, baby, like, l got wheels, can l drop you?

  Gaby : No, thanks. I prefer to walk.

  Maurice : Crazy.

  Rick : Dear boy, you are a minor character and your name is of no importance.

• Maurice : I don't understand.

  Rick : Of course not. You're not supposed to understand. Can't you get it through your mind? You're only a bit part. Nobody cares anything about you. You're a mere literary convenience.
