• Coley Jones : [sitting down after she directs him]  Is this place taken? Madame, would you mind if I smoked?

  Coley Jones : [waving his pack of cigars at her]  I noticed you took a pill. I thought perhaps...

  Monique Marko : Huh? Nothing. Small headache.

  Coley Jones : Are you sure the smoke won't distress you?

  Monique Marko : I'm never distressed by smoke. Surely not. But thank you.

  Coley Jones : Not at all. I have a headache myself. I wonder if it would be too much to ask if, eh...

  Monique Marko : [giving him the pill packet]  The aspirin?

  Coley Jones : [purposefully knocking her handbag off the table as he takes the pill packet]  Oh, I am sorry...

  Monique Marko : Don't worry. It's not important.

  Coley Jones : [picking up the handbag and detecting traces of the opium]  Very clumsy of me. I'm terribly sorry. Would you allow me to buy you a drink?

  Monique Marko : No thank you. Alcohol doesn't agree with me.

  Coley Jones : Are you travelling alone?

  Monique Marko : [picking up her poodle]  Alone? Oh, no. I always have Toutou. Dit "bonsoir", Toutou.

  Coley Jones : Bonsoir, Toutou. You're a fine looking fella.

  Monique Marko : He loves being flattered.

  Coley Jones : He seems to understand every word you say.

  Monique Marko : Oh, yes. Toutou and I always have conversation. Toutou is most understanding.

  Coley Jones : All my life I've wanted to meet a truly understanding dog. Perhaps we could write to each other. Where does Toutou live?

  Monique Marko : In my mind.

  Coley Jones : Then I'll write to Toutou, care of the mind of Madame, er...

  Monique Marko : No. Because I also live in the mind of another...

  Coley Jones : Who's mind is that?

  [she gets up and leaves without replying]
