Bob Rueland
- Bob Rueland: Elizabeth and I were married by the time we were twenty and we'd been going out since we were fifteen so this may sound a bit juvenile but... can I hold your hand?
- Bob Rueland: Would you go out with me?
- Grace Briggs: Yes?
- Bob Rueland: Is that a question?
- Grace Briggs: No, it's a yes. Yes.
- Bob Rueland: Tomorrow night?
- Grace Briggs: Yes.
- Bob Rueland: Eight o'clock?
- Grace Briggs: Yes.
- Bob Rueland: Pick you up here?
- Grace Briggs: Yes.
- Bob Rueland: My, you're a very difficult woman.
- Bob Rueland: [covering flowers in the backyard with Grace] All of these plants in the middle of the city, it's like
- [beat]
- Bob Rueland: a garden.
- [Grace and Bob are on top of a building looking down at the city]
- Grace Briggs: Wow, this is incredible. We can see all this because we're standing on something you built.
- Bob Rueland: I had help.
- Bob Rueland: [lying to avoid going out] Sorry, Charlie. I think it's something I ate, you know? I think I'm just going to stay home, take it easy. What am I doing right now? I'm watching the Cubs game. What's the score?
- [fumbles frantically for the remote, which doesn't work; gives up]
- Bob Rueland: Uh, the Cubs are losing.
- Grace Briggs: [after accidentally slapping Bob for brushing her chest] Oh! I'm so sorry! I'm re... oh... Did you see anything?
- Bob Rueland: [rubbing his cheek] I wasn't looking.
- Grace Briggs: No, no, I know, but it's because I had a heart... I had a heart... I had a heartwarming dream about you.
- Bob Rueland: Ugh! Must have a been a nightmare.
- Grace Briggs: No. I mean, you were very...
- Bob Rueland: Scary?
- Grace Briggs: Sexy.
- Bob Rueland: [grins] You had a sex dream about me?
- Grace Briggs: No! I didn't have... I didn't have a sex dream about you. I just met you, I don't even know you. I'm really... sorry...
- [kisses Bob]
- Charlie Johnson: Come on, let's go get a beer.
- Bob Rueland: No thanks.
- Charlie Johnson: Well, if not tonight, Friday night, because I have someone for you.
- Bob Rueland: No, Charlie, no.
- Charlie Johnson: Come on, she's smart, she has a great body, intelligent, great body... You gotta start going out! She's really great, her cat was a patient of mine!
- Bob Rueland: I'm a dog person.
- Elizabeth Rueland: Honey, you remember Celia and Tony.
- Celia: We were just telling Elizabeth about our place in Italy.
- Elizabeth Rueland: We were supposed to go to Italy on our honeymoon.
- Bob Rueland: Yeah, but we didn't think Sidney would tolerate the flight.
- Elizabeth Rueland: I promise you we'll get to Italy... eventually.
- Bob Rueland: Well, that's big. That's a promise. I'll take that.
- Celia: Where are you vacationing this year?
- Bob Rueland: We're gonna go to one of those water theme parks for the weekend.
- Celia: That'll be nice.
- Tony: It's a joke, Celia.
- Bob Rueland: I, uh, promised my wife that we'd dance tonight, Tony, so if you'll excuse us.
- Tony: Certainly.
- Bob Rueland: It's wonderful to see you both.
- Elizabeth Rueland: Goodnight.
- Shari: Ok. I'm doing this new food combination so I don't really need something...
- Grace Briggs: We have some specials this evening. The Chicken Vesuvio...
- Charlie Johnson: Please! I'm around them all day. I didn't mean... It was... I'm a vet.
- Grace Briggs: ...and a corn beef and cabbage souffle and a spinach ravioli in arrabiatta sauce which is my favorite.
- Bob Rueland: I'll have that.
- Marsha: That sounds so fattening.
- Bob Rueland: Well, just order something else.
- Marsha: Well, is every dish here cooked in oil?
- Grace Briggs: No, some we boil in Swiss water.
- Grace Briggs: Good evening.
- Marsha: Oh, no no no no no no no. Do you have bottled water?
- Grace Briggs: Sure. Anyone else?
- Charlie Johnson: May I have a wine list please?
- Grace Briggs: Sure.
- Bob Rueland: Do we know each other?
- Grace Briggs: Uh, I think so. You been in here before?
- Bob Rueland: No, I think I'd remember an Irish-Italian restaurant.
- Grace Briggs: Uh, yeah. You would.
- Marsha: Oh, my gah. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. My water? I don't want a Swiss water. I got sick on an imported Swiss water once. Do you remember that night?
- Shari: Oh, that was awful.
- Charlie Johnson: You were there?
- Marsha: Do you remember that? Horrible! As long as it's not Swiss or tap water, it'll be fine. Preferably French, no bubbles. I want it cold. No ice, no glass. Just a bottle and a straw. Do you want to write it down? I don't want Swiss water. I got sick once.
- Shari: It was really bad.
- Grace Briggs: I'm pretty sure I got it.
- Bob Rueland: I'm sorry. Can I get a cup of coffee?
- Grace Briggs: Sure.
- Bob Rueland: No straw.
- Bob Rueland: Oh, I bet that's refreshing.
- Marsha: Oh, such a difference.
- Grace Briggs: Here you go.
- Marsha: It's about time!
