Martine : What have you been doing all day, clever?
Robert : This morning I worked at my garage.
Martine : Do you own it?
Robert : No, I don't.
Martine : Then why is it "my garage"?
Robert : At "the" garage. Right.
Martine : You're not listening. How do you know it's a garage? Are you sure the word isn't "swimming-pool" or "hotel"?
Robert : I suppose it could be.
Martine : Exactly. How do things get particular names?
Robert : They're given them.
Martine : Who by?

Roger : Hear anything? What is it?
Robert : Saigon-Washington.
Roger : Who's speaking?
Robert : Johnson.
Roger : What's he saying?
Robert : "In '65 to force Hanoi to negotiate it was with a heavy heart that I ordered my pilots to bomb North Vietnam."
Roger : And?
Robert : "It was tremendous but Hanoi wouldn't negotiate. In '66 it was again with a heavy heart that I ordered my pilots to bomb Haiphong and Hanoi."
Roger : Let me listen a bit. "It was tremendous, but Hanoi wouldn't negotiate. In July '67 I ordered my pilots, again with a heavy heart, to raze Chinese atomic installations. It was tremendous, but Hanoi wouldn't negotiate."
Robert : "In '67 to force Hanoi to negotiate and again with a heavy heart, I ordered my pilots to bomb Peking."
Roger : And?
Robert : "It was tremendous, but Hanoi wouldn't negotiate. Now my missiles are aimed at Moscow."
Roger : And?
Robert : "President Johnson says that Hanoi must understand that his patience is limited." Shit! I can't hear now.
Juliette : [reading] "Should I wear tromp-l'oeil ankle-sock designs on pantyhose designed by Louis Ferraud? They make daring dresses decent and make calves look pert and charming."
Robert : Cut the crap!
Juliette : It's in "Madame Express."
Robert : Never heard of it.
Juliette : You've got no culture.
