Sam: Hey, will you stop being hard on yourself? I mean, that's my job here. Come on. You had, what, few casual dates with him? What's the big deal?
Diane: Yes, but as often happens in my life, this gentleman is becoming much too serious, much too fast. He's wearing that smitten look I know so well. I've got to do something before it goes any further.
Sam: Uh-huh, I see.
Diane: For the first time in my life I can't bring myself to tell the truth to a man so I need a lie. And God forgive me, I'm coming to you for help.
Sam: Well, I'm flattered. All right, let me... Let me give this a little thought here. All right. All right, I've never passed this one on before, but I think it's-- I think it's the ticket here. It's neat, fast, clean and, best of all, it makes them want to get away from you. Now, here's what you do. You tell him that you have a contagious skin condition and that insanity runs in your family.
Diane: Very sensitive.
Sam: Well, thank you. It's a gift.
