[first lines]
Lionel : I'm not carrying on. All I said was the bacon was done to a crisp.
Jean : It was supposed to be. You ordered crispy bacon.
Lionel : You sure?
Jean : I heard you.
Lionel : It was that waitress; she confused me. Asked for fried eggs and she suggested about fifty different ways of frying them. Same with the bacon. As for ordering toast - well, forget it if you're in a hurry. Took her half an hour to tell me how many sorts of toast I could have.
Jean : [chuckles] You like Los Angeles, then.
Lionel : If we eat downstairs this evening, we should go down about five o'clock; it'll take two hours to order.

Lionel : [about the successful negotiations] There's got to be a snag in all this.
Jean : Not at all. You're Cy's flavour of the month.
Lionel : Yeah, but it's the twenty-seventh.
Jean : Ha.
[Jean laughs and hits him on the back of the neck with her purse]
Lionel : Oh!
Jean : Sorry, did I hurt you? I was only mucking about.
Lionel : Oooh!
[sits on couch]
Jean : Oh. Are you all right?
Lionel : Who are you? I don't know who you are.
Jean : Think of me as Greer Garson.
