Kate, Angel and others in “Sense & Sensitivity”

Boy, I'm scared. And excited. And consumed with dread. And glad you're here.

I doubt even one of Little Tony's hired guns would try something in a roomful of cops.

What? Oh, that death-threat hanging overhead. No, I meant speaking in public. [starts across room toward her father]

What's that old saw? Picture your audience in their underwear?

[distractedly looks Angel up and down] Way ahead of you. [Angel catches up just as Kate stops in front of her father and kisses his cheek.] Happy retirement, Daddy.

Who's this?

This is Angel, he's a friend. Angel, this is my father.

Hello, Mr. Lockley. [they shake] Congratulations.

For what? All I did was live this long and not get shot.

Why do you do that?

Do what?

Pretend important things don't matter.

[eyes on Kate] So. Angel. [looks at Angel] How long you been seeing Katie?

We're, ahh, we're pretty new friends.

Well, good to see her out with a man. I was starting to wonder if she didn't lean in another direction altogether.
