So you went out to dinner, then back to your place and after a night of hot, steamy, sweaty bone-rattling you laid back to light a cigarette. He got on your case about the cigarettes. It's about the smoking. It's about love, isn't it?
It shows, huh? I feel tawdry just thinking about it. I must be crazy, certifiable. I should see the department shrink about it. Frank...
What?
Frank, Ed Danvers is an alpha male. A stallion among ponies. A man larger than life itself.
You mean large as in large?
Why else do you think I quit a two pack a day habit?
Wait a minute, we're talking about Ed Danvers right? The midget dweeb? C'mon, cut it out.
No, he drives me insane; I see stars. I walk around feeling all this sweet pain.
I shouldn't be hearing this.
How do you talk about something like this? And he's constant. I mean anywhere, all day, all night, in the park, in the movie theatre.
Howard...
I had to set some ground rules. He can't touch me in restaraunts or the church.
Howard, I think you're going too far.
Frank, I was only kidding. I didn't give up cigarettes for Ed, I gave them up for me.
You were kidding? About everything?
Yes. No.
C'mon, Howard.
See, I guess you'll never know.
