- Riley: Mr. Howard, thank you for coming. I'd like to introduce you to Maxine Strickland, your newest client.
- Jack Howard: I don't believe I've accepted the job yet. Is that the purpose of this meeting?
- Maxine Strickland: Mr. Howard, I want you to know from the start that this is not my idea. I don't need a bodyguard, I don't want a bodyguard. But Riley here seems to think that it's important. So, I think we should set some ground rules. First, I don't want my life interrupted in any way. I will do what I want when I want. You may come along if you like; just don't get in my way. Secondly...
- Jack Howard: Secondly, I think this meeting's over.
- Naomi Grant: You know, I am so tired of playing second fiddle to the great and beautiful movie star. You know, she gets all the attention, she gets the money, and she gets the men.
- Jack Howard: You know, if I didn't know any better, I'd say you were jealous.
- Naomi Grant: We're all jealous of Max, but I can assure I'm not the one you're looking for.
- Jack Howard: How do I know that?
- Naomi Grant: Because if I wanted Max dead, it would've happened already.
- Naomi Grant: Are you always on the job?
- Jack Howard: What do you mean?
- Naomi Grant: Don't you take time out for fun?
- Jack Howard: It's been a long time.
- Naomi Grant: Too long, would you say?
- Jack Howard: Naomi, I can't afford any complications.
- Naomi Grant: Well, then, let's keep it simple.
- Leah Hudson: Are you safe?
- Maxine Strickland: Yeah. Riley, he hired me a bodyguard, so...
- Leah Hudson: Is he good?
- Maxine Strickland: He's supposed to be the best.
- Leah Hudson: Is he cute?
- Maxine Strickland: Yeah, he is.
- Leah Hudson: You like this guy, don't you?
- Maxine Strickland: I thought I did. Then, I found out that he and Naomi, they spent an evening together.
- Leah Hudson: Oh, surprise, surprise. Find me someone Naomi hasn't slept with.
- Maxine Strickland: I thought he was different, Leah. I mean, he would look into my eyes and I would forget where I was.
