Sam: I’m always in the middle of things. I work all days, sometimes all night, running around, chasing the stories, chasing the facts. Whenever I go anywhere, talk to anyone, I always ask, ‘What’s new?’ That’s how I found out about you.
Emily: What do you mean?
Sam: Well, when I got the letter from Susie, she invited me to her party, and I said, ‘Tell me who’s going to be there. Who do I need to know?’ She said, ‘Well, there’s this poet.’
Emily: So, you came to Amherst for me?
Sam: Among other reasons, yeah, and I was interested. I’m always interested in hearing a new voice, but I haven’t heard yours yet.
Emily: No, you haven’t.
Sam: I’ve tasted your cake, but I haven’t read your poems.
Emily: Guess I’m kinda shy.

Edward: Your Uncle Martin is dead.
Austin: Oh, oh, oh, that sucks.
Edward: No, that’s very good for us.
Austin: Oh, OK, good.
Edward: I have been appointed executor of his estate.
Austin: Uh-huh.
Edward: Which means through various loopholes, all strictly above board of course. That we may now have a new cashflow to aid in reducing our debt.
Austin: OK.
Edward: With one minor caveat, of course, which may mean a little extra work for us. The adoption into our home of one or two assets of the deceased.

Mrs. Dickinson: You can take the night off.
Maggie: Well, thank you, madam. It’s so nice of you to notice me back troubles.
