Janet[to Eddie] We've been dating for a while now. A while! And we still haven't seen it... "On the Waterfront". So I was thinking we should hang out at my place tomorrow night, and we should most definitely watch "On the Waterfront". Because if we don't watch "On the Waterfront" we may run the risk of never watching it. Ever. Okay?
JanetI maybe have a maybe date.
What’s a maybe date?
JanetAs in, maybe he won’t call. Uh, maybe if he does I won’t go. Maybe it’s not even a date. Maybe I wish I hadn’t said anything.
Who’s the maybe date with?
JanetMaybe not ready to talk about that yet.
Well I think it’s great that maybe you have a maybe date.
Hey Janet, can I get a beer?
JanetYou know this whole you and me going to the homecoming game? It's a bad idea. It's not going to work. Cause here's the thing. I'm not taxes. I'm not the dentist. I'm not something you get out of the way.
What?
JanetI'm also not like the other girls you've been with. I'm not a cute cashier. I don't know how to make waffle cones. I'm not another stop along the Eddie Latekka conquest trail... I'm not perky like Susan. I don't know how to bat my eyes like Lottie and I definitely don't have double D cups like...
[Eddie kisses her]
You know what? You're not like the other girls I usually date. You're smart and funny and beautiful inside and out. And you're absolutely NOTHING like taxes.
[Janet laughs a little, Eddie smiles and looks at her]
Excuse me.
[Eddie kisses her again]
Where did you get this dog?

JanetUm, I guess. Why?
No reason except that this is not a puppy.
JanetWhat do you mean it’s not a puppy?
It’s a wolf.
JanetWhat do you mean it’s a wolf?
I mean it’s a wolf.
JanetI got you a wolf?
Yeah, you got me a wolf. I was gonna get you a leopard, but they were fresh out.
Pack a bag.
JanetWhat for?
We're going to Rhode Island. I got tickets for Bye Bye Birdie, Providence. Figured me and Gramps can get some naptime in.
