Hope - 02.03.03
Paul: It's pretty - you know what? I'm gonna - I'm gonna check the sinks, see if there's running water.
Rose: Oh, yeah, that's a good idea.
Paul: Check for leaks.
Rose: I can see it now. You know, we're gonna do hair color in the back. Manicure station right here. And the people - the customers who are not waiting for me on line outside can sit right here for me. And if they give me any lip, here, I'll just lock 'em up in this cage. Hey, maybe I'll crate-train Ms. Walsh. It's a dump. But it's got somethin', you know? I'm thinkin', like, '80s retro.
Paul: Yeah, well, I'm thinkin' there's a clog.
Rose: Oh.
Paul: This water's on. Why isn't it spraying?
Rose: Don't worry about it.
Paul: Something should be spraying.
Rose: I can get the plumbers for that.
Paul: No, we need to see what kind of shape this place was left in, right? I can fix this. And then we will be able to tell plumber exactly what -
(Water shoots out of the faucet all over Paul. Rose shrieks.)
Paul: All right. All right.
(Rose laughing.)
Paul: Okay.
Rose: Well, that was - very helpful.
Paul: Yeah, and that is at no extra cost to you.
Rose: So, what'd you do there, Mr. Clean?
Paul: I'll show you. Come here. Come look.
Rose: Mr. Clean, I don't think so.
Paul: Rose, trust me. Trust -
Rose: Okay.
Paul: Really.
Rose: Let me see. What did you do?
Paul: There was a clog in here, and I just fixed it. See? It was right in there. See that?
(Paul soaks Rose with the hose. Rose screams. Paul laughing.)
Rose: That is just nasty!
(Paul laughing. They kiss.)
Rose: Mm! Wait, wait, wait, wait! Wait, wait! What about the hands-off-while-we-think policy that we were talkin' about?
Paul: Oh, there is an exception to that policy in case of a flood.
(Paul laughs.)
Rose: It's so good to hear you laugh. I have missed that so much!
Paul: Yeah. Feels good.
Rose: Hey, you know what? I have an idea. How about, if we can just laugh like this once in awhile, I won't tell another joke? How about that?
Paul: That is impossible. If you weren't a smartmouth, you wouldn't be you.
Rose: I just want to be the Rose that works for you.
Paul: Are you being you right now? I love it.
Rose: Look, I can't promise you how this is gonna turn out.
Paul: I'm not asking you to be a fortuneteller.
Rose: No.
Paul: I just have this - I have this feeling, Rose, and - it's good enough for me.
Rose: What feeling is that?
Paul: Hope? I think there's a lot of hope for us.
Tell it to your fists - 02.10.03
Rose: I wonder if Mitzi's plane was late.
Paul: Well, I - I can call the airline.
Rose: No, you know - give her more time. This isn't torture, sitting here, is it?
Paul: Not for me.
Rose: Me, either.
Paul: So I was surprised you called Mitzi so soon.
Rose: Soon for what?
Paul: Well, you called her to be the stylist in your salon, right?
Rose: Oh, my lead stylist. She's the best.
Paul: Well, your salon's not even close to being open yet.
Rose: Mm. Yeah, the banks should come through with the money very soon, then like a bunny, it'll start happening.
Paul: You what it sounds like to me? It sounds like to me you just want to hang out with your friend.
Rose: Well, that is part of it. You know, it's nice to have phone calls, but seeing your best friend in the flesh, nothing compares to that.
Paul: You spoke to Mitzi while you were in Italy?
Rose: Yeah, every day. You should have seen the bills. And he wonders, "The girl goes broke calling her friend but can't pick up the phone to call me."
Paul: Yeah. Something like that.
Paul: Well, I'm not asking for an explanation. I - I guess it was my ego that told me that if you weren't in touch with me, you weren't in touch with anybody.
Rose: I get that. If that's a problem, I get that.
Paul: No, no, hey, it's not a problem. You - you told me you were confused about your feelings, and I - and I've accepted that, and I have - I have moved on. I am -
Rose: Oh, yeah? Tell it to your fists.
Paul: All right. So it still bothers me. You have to admit, it's not easy to forget.
Rose: No. But if we don't get past this, the both of us, we're spinnin' around in circles. We'll be so dizzy, we won't be able to find a way out. How 'bout this? We agree to only talk about the day before the one we're in. All right, we can talk about yesterday.
Paul: So we're gonna start this now. Talk about yesterday -
Rose: Yeah, why not? Give it a shot.
Paul: All right, so what happened yesterday that's worth talking about?
Rose: Oh, I could think of one thing.
Paul: What? Oh, the water fight at the yuppie pub.
Rose: How 'bout the kiss that happened after the water fight at the -
Paul: Did we kiss? We didn't kiss. Did we kiss?
Rose: Well, maybe I should remind you.
Barbara: Paul? Oh. I'm sorry, darling. Is my timing off again?
Paul: You're right, mom. This is a bad time.
Barbara: I'm sorry, but as long as I'm here, maybe I could just have a moment.
Paul: Mom, please -
Barbara: Really, Rose, I am sorry to interrupt your evening out like this, but if I could just have my son for a moment, I'll make it up to you, I promise.
Rose: Make it fast.
Nothing Else Matters - 02.10.03
Paul: Mom, I'm sorry, but I cannot do it. It would be bad for us and even worse for me and Rose.
Barbara: This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, Paul. And it doesn't have a damn thing to do with your precious little Rosie!
Rose: Did something mention precious little me?
Paul: Hey, sweetheart. My mother just offered me a job with her new company. But I turned her down, because I thought it might come between me and you.
Barbara: It wasn't a job. It was a partnership.
Rose: Did that matter to you?
Paul: Nope.
Barbara: There are people in this industry, Paul, that would do anything to work with me.
Paul: I'm aware of that, and I hope you find that person really soon.
Barbara: Oh, I will. Believe me, I will. And if you decide to call and take me up on my offer, forget it. The offer is withdrawn.
Paul: And here I was, hoping that we could just solve this in a mature manner.
Barbara: No, you were hoping you could insult me, and I wouldn't flinch. Well, you know what? Your mama won't come around anymore, Paul. He's all yours, Rosie.
Rose: The face has changed, but the attitude is still - stinks.
Paul: Well, doesn't matter what she says. Or what she does. As long as I have you, nothing else matters.
Happy Endings - 02.18.03
Rose: Didn't you ever see "What's Eating Gilbert Grape?"
Paul: All right, all right, all right, he was good in that.
Rose: Thank you. He's always good.
Paul: I wouldn't go that far. How 'bout "Titanic"?
Rose: You're not gonna dis my movie, are you?
Paul: You see? You see? That's the Italian in you. Me, I prefer happy endings.
Rose: I love happy endings.
Rose: See, that's the thing about DiCaprio - you don't know whether you want to tuck him in or take him to bed.
Paul: Speaking of which -
Rose: You tired?
Paul: No.
Rose: Hmm. Are you sure that we're ready for - for that?
Paul: Positive.
Rose: All right, so what if we - I don't know -
(cell phone rings)
Rose: Well, there. You're very busy right now. You're busy.
Paul: All right, all right, I'm very busy right now.
Paul: Hello? Yeah. All right, sure, I'll be right there. It's the front desk. There's a message for me. It's probably Will's attorney.
Rose: Oh, well -
Paul: I'll be right back.
Rose: All right, I'll be here waiting for -
(Rose sighs.)
What a name for a grown man - 02.18.03
Dusty: I'm so sorry.
Rose: You don't sneak up a woman and plant your lips on her neck unless you want a stake through the heart. You got that, count?
Paul: You okay, Rose?
Rose: Yeah.
Dusty: Paul?
Paul: Hey, Dusty! Man, good to see you. I just got your message, man. How the hell are you?
Dusty: Good, I'm good. But you've got to rescue me here, because apparently I'm in the wrong.
Rose: You know this guy?
Paul: Yeah. I'm sorry. Rose D'Angelo, this is my long-lost cousin here. How many times removed is it? I lost count.
Dusty: Too many. Dusty Donovan. I'm really very sorry. Lucinda wrote to me about finding Lily's twin, but I had no idea "identical" was gonna be so - identical. I'm sorry. I thought you were Lily.
Rose: Yeah, right.
Paul: Dusty was Lily's first love.
Rose: Yeah. Holden know about that?
Dusty: Yes. It's so remarkable. You look - just like her.
Rose: Yeah.
Paul: But unlike Lily, I can promise you, Rose's bite is a hell of a lot worse than her bark.
Dusty: So - will you accept my apology? I'm sorry.
Rose: Sure. But say I was Lily - what are you doing planting your lips on a happily married woman?
Paul: Babe, uh, Dusty was just joking around. If you knew him a little better, you'd know he was just -
Rose: It's fine. I'm just not comfortable with guys sneakin' up behind me, gettin' chummy like that. Back in Atlantic City, we nipped things like that in the bud, bud.
Paul: Yeah, she was a dancer in Atlantic City.
Rose: Yes.
Dusty: Well, then you know that you have nothing to fear from a guy like me. I'm just back in town, because I miss everybody, especially this guy right here. But I'm gonna leave you two, and I left my number at the front desk.
Paul: Yeah, yeah, I got it. You know, hey, hey, Dusty, why don't you - why don't you join us? All right? Right? Yeah, I promise you Dusty will keep his lips to himself.
Rose: Of course he will. But I gotta go.
Rose: A girl needs her beauty rest. I got a meeting with the bank in the morning, so I gotta run.
Paul: All right, I'll - I'll take you home.
Rose: No, I got my car. You stay here and catch up with your cousin here. So, nice to meet you - Dusty.
Dusty: The pleasure was all mine. Obviously.
Paul: You know what? I'll be right back.
Dusty: Okay.
Rose: Dusty? I mean, what a name for a grown man.
Paul: His name is Dustin. We've been callin' him Dusty since we were kids. You sure you want to go home?
Rose: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, you just stay here, and you catch up with - with your cousin.
Paul: Come here, come here.
(Rose sighs.)
Rose: Just keep reminding me, okay?
Friends - 02.25.03
Paul: To absent friends.
Rose: Oh, they'll be here. You know, you know Lily. It's very hard for her to get out of the house, now she's got the new baby.
Paul: Well, Dusty's staying in a hotel. What's his excuse?
Rose: I'm sure he'll have one. I'll be sweet. I'll be nice. He's a great guy. Everybody loves him. He's not here because he wants to break up my sister's marriage or monopolize all your time. No, he's coming back because he lo-o-o-ves Oakdale. Oakdale, of course. What?
Dusty: I want you to run away with me, Lil. Got you. I got you. How was that? I probably should have kissed her, right?
Paul: Be my guest.
Rose: Don't even think about it.
Paul: Oh, relax, Rose. Dusty doesn't bite.
Lily: Hi. I'm so sorry that we're late.
(Lily hugs Dusty.)
Dusty: Worth the wait.
Lily: Oh, thank you.
Dusty: And who is this? Married man with five children.
Lily: Yeah. We were ready to go out the door, and then Natalie decided that she was hungry again.
Dusty: Look at you.
Holden: What?
Dusty: What have you been doing? Lifting weights?
Holden: Yeah. They're called Luke, Faith and Natalie. Good to see you.
(Holden hugs Dusty.)
Holden: How have you been?
Dusty: Great. Good to see you, too.
Paul: Good friends.
Dusty: My gosh, what's going on with you? Holden had you cleaning out the stables?
Lily: Oh, not anymore. Oh, thank you. That feels so much better. I tell you, do kids get heavier?
(Holden walks back in and sits down next to Lily.)
Holden: No, parents just get older.
Dusty: Not you or your wife. She's as pretty as ever.
Rose: We should order, everyone.
Dusty: Rose thinks I'm gonna run away with you, Lil.
Holden: As long as you take the kids, you can have her.
Lily: Thanks.
(Dusty sits between Rose and Lily, on a side of the table from the two couples.)
Holden: I talked to Luke. And Natalie, she is fast asleep.
Lily: Why is it she only sleeps when I'm not there? I had her at my mother's last week, and she slept for four hours straight.
Dusty: How is Lucinda, anyway? Is she - has she come around to accept you as a fit husband for her daughter?
Holden: Sure. Just last week.
Dusty: Well, she still writes me, "Dear Dusty, when are you gonna come back and rescue my daughter from the life of bliss?" Seriously, I'm so happy for the two of you. Cheers. To Lily and Holden.
Lily: Old friends.
Paul: To new adventures.
Lily: Rose is opening a beauty salon.
Dusty: She's obviously an expert on the subject.
Lily: And she's a wiz at business. She worked at Worldwide, and the profits went through the roof.
Dusty: Really? Why'd you leave the fast lane, Rose?
Rose: I was good at it, but I wanted something that was just my own.
Dusty: You and me both. And Holden stole her away. Lily, is there any chance you'd take me back? Please? Is there room at the house?
(laughter)
Dusty: I'll share my drink with you.
Lily: Well, this has been fun, but we really should get home, right?
Holden: Yes, but we will see you tomorrow night.
Dusty: You don't have to throw me a party.
Lily: Oh, we want to do that. Everybody in town's gonna want to see you.
Holden: And since we couldn't invite all of Oakdale into our living room -
Lily: Almost, but we decided to have it at the Java Underground. That wasn't there when you were here last time. So you know where it is?
Dusty: Yeah, no, it's okay. I'll find it.
Lily: Good.
Dusty: I'm sure I'll uncover every secret that this town has to offer me. It will be like I never left. I can't believe it. We're all here together, back in Oakdale.
Paul: Yeah, you especially. After the life you've had, why not retire in Paris or Majorca, whatever?
Rose: You're retired?
Dusty: No, I'm taking a break.
Paul: No, he's being modest. Our old pal here made a killing in the market, and he used that money to set up an investment house, where he made another killing. So now he's just weighing his options. Fishing or skiing?
Dusty: And I'd trade it all for a wife and family. I would. You guys have the life. You've made good choices. You've done what's important, and you didn't chase the stupid stuff.
Holden: Still, it's gotta be pretty exciting. You know, that wheeling and dealing.
Dusty: No, it's overrated.
Rose: He's right. I mean, Holden, you can see what you created. You've got your wife and kids, and you've got all those beautiful horses. Chasing money, that's why I left Worldwide.
Dusty: That's well-said.
Rose: Thank you.
Dusty: You'd better to careful, Rose. I might fall in love with you, too. Check, please. No, no, I got this.
Lily: No, you're the guest. Please?
Dusty: No, you're taking care of the champagne tomorrow. This one is on me.
Paul: All right, I should call Will.
Rose: Go.
Paul: Watch her and make sure she doesn't steal the silverware.
(Dusty laughs.)
Kind of friend Dusty really is - 02.26.03
Rose: Wait, are you gonna give me the wine excuse? Oh, no, no, no. Right now - when Paul gets back here, I'm gonna tell him exactly what happened.
Dusty: Rose -
Paul: Hey. Hey, what's goin' on? Tell me what?
Paul: Well, I am waiting, folks. What is this deep, dark secret you two are keeping from me?
Rose: I shouldn't say this, but you have a right to know what kind of guy your friend really is.
Paul: Oh, yeah, how's that?
Rose: Well - we're talking about sports, and this guy says he doesn't root for Chicago anymore. Strictly a New York team guy. Jets, Giants, Yankees, even the Mets. I was ready to smack him across the face.
Paul: Well, babe, he has lived in Manhattan before. It's a natural thing.
Rose: Oh, I know. But it's a question of character and loyalty. You know, those things are very important to you.
Paul: Yes, they are. You know what? This is - this is great. This is - this is exactly what I was hoping for.
Rose: How's that?
Paul: You know, if you two can argue about something as ridiculous as this, it means you must be pretty comfortable with each other. Right? Am I - am I right? Am I - am I right? Are you two starting to feel like friends, maybe?
Dusty: Well, I wouldn't say we're buddies just yet, but the potential's there. And I just think it needs some nurturing.
Rose: Slowly. Very slowly.
Paul: All right. Well, there's no mad rush. Now that Dusty's back in town, you guys can take as long as you want to get to know each other. How 'bout that?
Rose: Oh, I'm gonna be very busy over the next couple of months.
Dusty: Well, we can go at your pace.
Rose: Well, thank you for your permission.
Paul: You - you sure nothing - nothing - did something else happen while I was away?
Dusty: No. Do you know, I still think she just harbors doubts about me.
Paul: Is that true?
Rose: I got doubts about everybody. You know? I'm from Jersey. That's how we work in Jersey.
Dusty: See? See? Smart girl. I'm starting to see why you two are headed to the altar.
Rose: Paul and I have some questions to work out before we walk down that aisle. Don't we?
Paul: Yes, we do.
Rose: So don't rent that tux just yet. We got plenty of time. Plenty of time.
Paul: You know what? I have an idea. Why don't the three of us head into the dining room, and we celebrate, hmm?
Rose: What are we celebrating?
Paul: You and Dusty finally breaking the ice.
Best of my life - 02.26.03
Paul: You know, it's a shame Dusty couldn't stay and join us. You two would've come to blows over appetizers. You know, you'd want to share an antipasto. He'd go for the shrimp cocktail. Next thing you know, there's blood all over the place.
(Rose laughs.)
Paul: No, I'm serious. If you two can get bent out of shape over the Bulls and the Knicks, then dinner would've been a bloodbath.
Rose: Now, see, the thing is about, you know, people when they talk about sports - it's like an attitude. You know, some people think they know everything. And then you're just a peon, who knows absolutely nothing.
Paul: Well, Dusty's not like that.
Rose: Just because you played Pac-Man with him when you guys were, like, 8 years old, does not mean you know who he is right now, today.
Paul: Yeah, sure, I do. You learn a lot about a man playing Pac-Man.
Rose: I think he's graduated, you know? Not just Pac-Man. Now he's Mr. High-roller, Mr. Nasdaq.
Paul: Mm-hmm. And where do you think he learned those winning strategies?
Rose: You know what? If you don't wanna take me seriously -
Paul: Okay. All right.
Rose: Fine.
Paul: I am sorry. You know I can't resist the temptation to tease you. It just strikes me funny, that's all, that two people that should be like brother and sister can't get along. You know, maybe that's it.
Rose: What?
Paul: Dusty never had a little sister, so maybe he's - terrorizing you to make up for it now.
Rose: You think that he looks at me as a little sister? No. I don't think so.
Paul: What do you mean?
Rose: Nothin'.
Paul: No -
Rose: Gonna eat that Tomato? I mean, it's sittin' there. It looks very lonely. Can you put it over here, please? Thank you.
Paul: There you go.
Rose: Mm.
Paul: You hungry?
Rose: Hey, come on. You know me. I got a healthy appetite. You don't want a stick figure, do you? Like a nice -
Paul: Don't say that.
Rose: - Broad.
Paul: Don't. You know I love your body, every inch of it.
Rose: I love you. I'm sorry. Your friend - I'm sorry - put me in a bad mood.
Paul: I'm sorry. I'm sorry if it seems like I'm pushing. I'll stop. You and Dusty go at your own speed.
Rose: But you want everybody in your life that you care about to get along. I know that, and it's only natural.
Paul: All right, well, maybe you're right, you know? Part of me looks at Dusty and, sure, I see the kid I grew up with. But maybe you're right. Maybe he has changed more than I realize.
Rose: That happens. Yes! I mean, people make money, you know? And they get greedy. Feel like they can reach out to whatever they want, even though it's not theirs. All right, you know - maybe I shouldn't be talking about this.
Paul: You know what? I can't figure out why we are spending what could be an extremely romantic dinner talking about someone else. Now, you and Dusty will either work something out or you will not. But you and I - how did you put it? We have questions to answer before this marriage thing is a go?
Rose: Not too many questions.
Paul: I'm glad you said that. 'Cause looking at your beautiful face right now, I can't think of one.
Rose: Then you have a problem, you know. It's your fault. You gotta look harder at this face.
Paul: No, it's your fault. It is. It is your fault for coming home and making the past couple months the best of my life.
Rose: Then I shouldn't ruin it.
Paul: How could you possibly ruin it?
Rose: Very easy. But I won't. You gonna eat that roll? Also looks lovely. Can you put it over here?
Guacamole - 02.27.03
Rose: You know, I got a better idea.
Paul: Uh-oh.
Rose: Yeah. No, no, no. Instead of hanging out in this place, why don't we go into Al's, and I can get a double cheeseburger with guacamole and bacon?
(Rose makes slurping sound.)
Paul: Is that really what you feel like eating?
Rose: No. I just like to say "guacamole." Like to say it, "guacamole." Say it with me, honey.
Paul: Okay, all right. All right, all right. Can we stick to plan "A," please? We don't have a lot of time. And I don't want to be late for Will's hearing at family court.
Rose: Right.
Paul: Hmm?
Rose: All right.
Paul: Please? Thank you.
Rose: So you planning on hanging out with Will tonight? I mean, he probably wants the whole family together after this thing today.
Paul: Well, I think it'd be better if he hangs out with Hal and Emily first, gets settled in there. Besides, tonight's the party.
Rose: Oh, yeah. The party. The big welcome home party for Dusty Donovan, yes. Well, you know what? I'm not gonna be there.
Paul: How come?
Rose: Stomach's been - acting up.
Paul: Babe, you were about to order a double cheeseburger with bacon and guacamole.
Rose: Thank you for talking me out of that. Not a good idea.
Paul: All right. What's going on? There has to be some other reason why you don't want to go to Dusty's party, and I need to know what it is.
Rose: You know, not that Dusty's party doesn't sound like a real humdinger, but maybe for you, not for me. There's really nothing in it for me.
Paul: Well, what do you mean? We'll be together. Is that not fun enough?
Rose: Of course it is. But, you know, you and Dusty, you haven't seen each other in a really long time. You guys will want to catch up.
Paul: There'll be other people there, too, sweetheart. There will be Holden, Lily -
Rose: Oh, those two. Well then, no, no one's gonna notice me there.
Paul: Okay. I was under the impression that you and Dusty were starting to get along. Am I wrong in assuming that? Is there still a problem there? Is that what this is?
Rose: Problems? (scoffs) No. Problems? Well, I'm not going to be hanging his picture in my locker anytime soon.
Paul: Well, then I can't understand why you refuse to give him a chance.
Rose: Okay. You know what? I don't -I don't want to argue. That's just fine. You know what? I'll go to the party. Okay?
Paul: Are you sure? I don't want you to feel uncomfortable.
Rose: You want me to feel comfortable? I need to get a burger. Go ahead, take me.
Paul: All right. Fine, we'll get one here.
Rose: No. I got a better idea. There's a drive-through on the way to the courthouse. Great place. Let's get out of here. Come on. Let's go.
Isn't Paul a good brother? - 02.27.03
Will: Paul.
Paul: Hey, buddy. How's it going here?
Will: Okay. Mom and Dad are inside with the judge.
Paul: Okay. Well, sorry we're late. What's next?
Dr. Michaels: Well, the judge will probably want to have a word with Will.
Paul: Okay.
Rose: You just flash that smile and everything's gonna be okay.
Barbara: Paul, hi. I'm glad you're here.
Paul: Me, too. We both are.
Barbara: Look, honey, we can't keep the judge waiting.
Paul: Hey, there's nothing to be afraid of. Okay. Just go in there and you talk to the guy. Don't worry about hurting anyone's feelings.
Will: Will you come inside with me?
Dr. Michaels: I don't think there'll be an objection.
Paul: Sure.
Rose: I'll wait here, okay? This is about family.
Paul: All right, let's go.
Rose: Hey, how'd it go?
Hal: Will's going to live with Emily and me.
Rose: Oh, that's great. Congratulations.
Emily: Thank you.
Rose: Good.
Emily: It's a happy day.
Paul: Mom, I know how difficult that was for you. But for what it's worth, I'm proud of you.
Barbara: Thank you.
Rose: I gotta go.
Paul: Wait, wait. Just give me a second. Are you going to be okay?
Barbara: I'd be better if you could have dinner with me tonight.
Paul: Well, I'm sorry, but I can't do that. It's Dusty's welcome home party at Java Underground tonight.
Barbara: Oh. A welcome home party for Dusty Donovan. How nice.
Rose: I'm gonna hit the stairs.
Paul: Hey, hey, hey, hey. Rose, wait, wait. I'll call you tomorrow, okay?
Paul: Hey? Hey? What's wrong?
Rose: Did you just invite your mother to the party at Java Underground tonight?
Paul: Yeah, but she's not going to show up.
Rose: Who are we talking about here? She'll be there, don't you worry.
Dustpan's Welcome Home Party - 02.28.03
Paul: Hey. It's a party, not oral surgery.
Rose: I told you I didn't wanna come.
Paul: He's a friend of mine.
Rose: Which is the only reason that I'm here, honey.
Paul: He's also a friend of Holden's, a friend of Lily's. We all like him. You saw that.
Rose: Does that mean that I gotta like him, too?
Paul: It's just strange that you don't. You've known the guy, what, a couple of days. Why are you so dead set against him?
Rose: Just a feeling I get. All right?
Paul: What? What is this feeling?
Rose: Look, back in Atlantic City, I would deal with all kinds of people all the time. And I developed this kind of radar. I just know when something's not right with somebody.
Paul: So you're saying there's something not right with Dusty?
Rose: It's just a feeling I get.
Paul: Fine. I'll make our excuses, and we'll be on our way.
Rose: Paul -
Dusty: Where's Rose?
Paul: Actually, something came up. We're gonna have to bail.
Rose: Oh, don't listen to him. That thing that came up? I took care of it. We can stay.
Paul: That calls for some champagne. Stay right there. Thank you.
Paul: Thank you.
Rose: For what?
Paul: For being you.
Paul: So, things working out with Dusty? I saw you talking to him over there.
Rose: What is it with that guy? I mean, you haven't seen him for years. Why is he so important to you?
Paul: I don't know. I guess it's like you and Mitzi. You know, over the years, we've bailed each other out so many times - no matter how much time passes, we just, you know, pick up right where we left off. I know he'd never let me down.
