Meta always talked about you like you were the ninth wonder of the world.

Eels

She skipped one.

Jeff

For me, it must be the eighth.

Eels

All women are wonders because they reduce all men to the obvious.

Jeff Doesn't your conscience bother you, crossing a nice guy like that? Meta Maybe he isn't such a nice guy. Maybe he crosses people too. Kathie Things are mixed up. Whit Bailey mix 'em? Kathie I can't talk on the phone. We're trying to get a plane. Whit But you're bringing me something. Jeff What are you scared about? Joe isn't coming back. He got careless and fell in the river. Did you hear what I said? Joe's dead, Kathie. Can't you find some tears for him? Kathie Do you think I sent Joe? Jeff Oh, you're wonderful Kathie.
