Roland Quote #37

Quote from Roland in Surprise Party

Johnny: Saturday is Moira's birthday and we want to throw her a surprise party. So, we need an excuse to get her all dressed up and out of the house.
Roland: Well, dinner at our place. Problem solved.
Johnny: Well, tempting. But it's gotta be something fancy and, uh, elegant. You know, black tie. So we're thinking maybe Jocelyn is throwing her "annual charity fundraiser."
Roland: She hasn't mentioned anything to me about it.
Johnny: Why would she mention it?
Roland: Well, Johnny, uh, if she's planning a fundraiser, I think Jocelyn would mention something about it to her husband.
Johnny: It's not a real fundraiser, Roland. It's just a pretend fundraiser to get Moira out of the house. You see, I I could tell her about it myself, but she would catch on because it falls on the same night as her birthday, so she's gotta hear about the fundraiser from someone who doesn't know it's her birthday.
Roland: Okay, so then you want me to find somebody who doesn't know.
Johnny: No. I want you to tell her.
Roland: But that doesn't make any sense. I know it's her birthday.
Johnny: You only know it's her birthday because I just told you it's her birthday. Moira doesn't know you know it's her birthday.
Roland: I won't tell her.
Johnny: Why would you tell her?
Roland: I won't tell her is what I'm saying to you. I won't tell her, so don't worry about it.

Quote from Moira

Moira: Jocelyn, I'm so glad I've run into you. Roland was mentioning your fundraiser earlier today and it got me thinking-
Jocelyn: My what?
Moira: Your annual fundraiser for the children with troubled mouths.
Jocelyn: Oh, right. Yes. It's gonna be quite a night.
Moira: I hope so, 'cause I'd like to be involved.
Jocelyn: With?
Moira: Your fundraiser. As I'm sure you know, I was on the board of some of the most profitable not-profits, from San Francisco to London. And after speaking with Roland, I realized I was remiss not to gift you with my wealth of experience.
Jocelyn: Wow. That's very generous of you, Moira. I was gonna ask you, but I didn't wanna impose.
Moira: Jocelyn, you must stop being intimidated by me. It's unnerving.
