Bruce

Even ten minutes is a long time to be away from you.

Hildy

What did you say?

Bruce

What?

Hildy

Go on. [He laughs sheepishly] Well, go ahead.

Well, I just said, 'Even ten minutes is a long time to be away from you.'

Hildy A big fat lummox like you - hiring an airplane to write: 'Hildy, don't be hasty, remember my dimple.' Walter. It delayed our divorce twenty minutes while the judge went out to watch it. Walter I've still got the dimple and in the same place. Hildy All I know is that instead of two weeks in Atlantic City with my bridegroom, I spent two weeks in a coal mine with John Krupsky. You don't deny that, do you Walter? Walter Deny it? I'm proud of it. We beat the whole country on that story. Hildy Well, I suppose we did. That isn't what I got married for! Walter And I still claim I was tight the night I proposed to you. If you had been a gentleman, you would have forgotten all about it. But not you. Walter You're losing your eye. You used to be able to pitch better than that.
