  2. X: Well, here we are again. • Y: Yes. • X: Can you recommend anything? • Y: The Brook Trout. A little "trouty," but quite good. • X: Sold. • pause; order. • X: I know. I look vaguely familiar. • Y: Yes.

  3. X: You feel you've seen me somewhere before. • Y: Um hum. • X. Funny how I have that effect on people. It's something about my face. • Y: It's a nice face. • X: You think so? • Y: I wouldn't say it if I didn't. • X: Oh, you're that type. • Y: What type?

  4. X: Honest. • Y: Not really. • X: Good, because honest women frighten me. • Y: Why? • X: I don't know. Somehow they seem to put me at a disadvantage. • Y: Because you're not honest with them? • X: Exactly. • Y: Like that business about the 7 parking tickets?

  5. X: What I mean is, the moment I meet an attractive woman, I have to start pretending I have no desire to make love to her. • Y: What makes you think you have to conceal it? • X: She might find the idea objectionable. • Y: And then again she might not. • X: Think how lucky I am to have been seated here.

  6. Music for theater? • Music subservient? • Diegetic music important for composer? • Stepping on music? • Music covers other conversations? • Music expected in circumstances? • Music irrelevant to scene?
