Larry King : I used to smoke.
Gwen Twining : Oh.
Larry King : Yep. Used to sit back like this, nice and relaxed. Strike up a cigarette and take a nice long drag, y'know. Inhale deeply...
Gwen Twining : [trying to ignore him] Mmm.
Larry King : ...Blow the smoke out slowly. Slowly... And I'd watch the smoke drift up through my fingertips. Up into the air.
Gwen Twining : [dreamily] Yeaaaah. There's nothin' like a cigarette. 'specially after a big juicy, stirloin steak. With mashed potatoes all smothered in butter. And then for dessert, a strawberry shortcake, so light and fluffy it just melts in your mouth.
Larry King : [King gets up to leave]
Gwen Twining : Hey, where you going?
Larry King : To the bathroom!
Gwen Twining : I bet he's got food stashed up there. Flash, I'm comin' with you!

Gwen Twining : King, I'm gonna stick to you like peanut butter sticks to the roof of your mouth.

Larry King : Let me smell your breath.
Gwen Twining : I beg your pardon.
Larry King : You're too cheerful for someone who went the whole night without smoking.
Gwen Twining : Yeah, well you're too cheerful for someone who went the whole night without eating, let me smell YOUR breath!
[they breathe on one another]
Larry King : You always have pizza for breakfast?
Gwen Twining : No. I just wanted to drive ya up the wall.
