Dick: Mary, I was just thinking about what you said the other day, about quality time.
Mary: Oh, that.
Dick: I, uh, just want you to know that if you're still willing to make that kind of commitment, I would be willing to make a sacrifice of my own.
Mary: Are you making an offer?
Dick: Well, no, I'm really just putting out a feeler.
Mary: I'm not sure it's worth my time to respond to a feeler.
Dick: Oh, I think this is a feeler that you can't refuse. Mary, if you can promise me to make a good-faith effort to spend more time with me, I will break up with Jennifer, despite the fact that I will be crushing the frail soul of a woman already teetering on the edge of sanity.
Mary: I can live with that.
