I had the funny feeling that all they wanted was to get their hands on my money.

Oh, I'm impressed. Well, on second thought, back home in Oregon, we'd have called you a rich, headstrong girl. That would have made it all right.

Money handles most people.

Do you honestly believe that?

I've proved it.

You're a singular girl.

Is that good or bad?

Oh, it's good, it's quite good. You know what you want. You go out after it and nothing stops you from getting it.

You make it sound corny.

Oh no, you're a jackpot of admirable character traits.

I already knew that.

Yes, I will say you do things with dispatch. No wasted preliminaries. Not only did I enjoy that kiss last night, I was awed by the efficiency behind it.

Well, I'm a great believer of getting down to essentials.

What do you expect out of me?

Probably a lot more than you're willing to offer.
