Milo Roberts [to Jerry]
I can tell you, I didn't like your exhibition tonight. I thought you were very rude...If you insist on picking up stray women, that's your own affair but from now on, don't do it when you're with me. Is that clear?

That's, uh, quite a dress you almost have on. What holds it up?
Milo Modesty.
I see it's a formal brawl after all.
Milo What makes you think that?
Well, the more formal the party is, the less you have to wear.
Milo Oh, no. You're quite wrong. It's most informal.
Where is everybody?
Milo Here.
Downstairs?
Milo No. Here in this room.
What about that extra girl?
Milo Ha, ha. That's me.
Ohhh! You mean the party's just you and me.
Milo That's right.
Oh I see. Why that's kind of a little joke, isn't it?
Milo In a way.
You must be out of your mink-lined head. I know I need dough but I don't need it this badly. If you're hard up for companionship, there are guys in town that do this kind of thing for a living. Call one of them.
Milo I'm simply interested in your work and I want to get to know you better. Now is that such a crime?...I want to help you. I think you have a great deal of talent. Now it doesn't hurt to have somebody rooting for you, does it?
Milo I want to bring you to the attention of the important dealers. They know me. I'm a big customer. We have a large collection at home. I could sponsor you, talk about you, encourage you, and then when you've done enough canvasses, I could arrange for your first show. That is, if you'll let me.
Sounds great, but, uh, what's in it for you?
Milo Well, just the excitement of helping somebody I believe in and finding out if I'm right.
It's got to be when I'm ready, when my stuff is good enough to show to the public and the critics...I'm not manufacturing paper cups.
Milo Look, you're a painter and a good one. I happen to have a little drive. That's a good combination. Besides, you have to face the critics sometime.
