- Conor: [CONOR walks back into the main room where MICHELLE is sitting on the couch. There are two whiskies on the table in front of her] I see you've been to New York.
- Michelle: Yeah, have you?
- Conor: No, I nearly went.
- Michelle: You should go, it's a cool place.
- Conor: I should have done a lot of things.
- Michelle: Oh, like what?
- Conor: Oh you know things.
- [MICHELLE smiles. CONOR points to a scar MICHELLE has between her eyebrows]
- Conor: What's that?
- Michelle: What?
- Conor: That.
- Michelle: [CONOR makes a gesture towards her forehead. MICHELLE smiles] Do you want the truth or a lie?
- Conor: Whatever?
- Michelle: I was bitten by a swan.
- Conor: Bitten by a swan, yeah?
- [CONOR leans over and kisses her tenderly]
- Michelle: It's always been in my head. My Dad said I'd be a good lawyer. Argumentative kid, apparently.
- Conor: Do you like it?
- Michelle: It's good money.
- Conor: That's not what I asked.
- Michelle: Ah you know, you win some, you lose some.
- Conor: I'd say you don't like losing.
- Michelle: No I don't. You ask a lot of questions.
- Conor: I'm interested.
- Michelle: In law?
- Conor: What do you think?
- Michelle: I think there's more to you than meets the eye.
- Conor: Do you?
- Michelle: Maybe. My turn.
- Conor: Ah look I'll save you the bother. Male, early thirties, works in pub, smoker. Seeks similar, no time wasters kinda thing.
- [MICHELLE laughs]
- Conor: I meet a lot of interesting people in my job too. Every day there's people coming in telling me all kinds of stuff. New faces, new stories. I think people find it easier to say things to strangers.
- Michelle: Do you like strangers?
- Conor: Have you got any sweets?
- [MICHELLE laughs]
