- Pamela: Why are you going to all this trouble to keep dating?
- Tim: You're real. For better or worse, you tell it like it is. You know, a lot of people, they want you to tell them what they want to hear, but you tell people what they *need* to hear. That kind of honesty's a rare trait. I think I could use some of that in my life.
- Pamela: Be careful what you wish for.
- Tim: I on the other hand, I am optimistic. I am loyal, and I will always be there for you. Frankly, I think you could use some of *that* in your life.
- Risi: Writers are like children. You have to be gentle and supportive and nurture their creativity. But every once in a while you need to show them who's boss. Get creative. I had a writer once, three weeks late with the printer on hold and preorders waiting to be shipped. I was desperate.
- Dori: So what did you do?
- Risi: I stole her car so she couldn't leave her apartment.
- Dori: You're certifiable.
- Risi: That is for the courts to decide.
