Mary: When I wrote this, I was so young and ambitious. I was so full of dreams. And you know what else? I was so full of crap! This is what I thought was good?! This belongs in here! It belongs in the garbage!
Dick: Oh, I know how you feel.
Mary: Oh, you can't know how I feel!
Dick: I know what it's like to be betrayed by your memories. I remembered our relationship as being all rosy, but it turns out it was one long nightmare.
Mary: It wasn't all bad. A lot of it was, but some of it was okay.
Dick: You mean it?
Mary: Yeah.
Dick: Well, what you wrote about the Mayan subculture in chapter 11 was really wonderful.
Mary: You read my thesis. You're the one who checked it out!
Dick: Of course I was. I even kept it an extra week. I got $3.00 in fines.
Mary: Then you liked it?
Dick: Yeah, it was good. Maybe not $3.00 good, but good.
Mary: So it was you. What a nice surprise.
