Eve: Now hold on, hold on just a minute! In the first place I do not fall in love with weirdos who I've only known for four or five days! Troy: Yes you do. Eve: And I don't fall in love with grown men who collect baseball cards! Troy: Yes you do. Eve: Or pee in their pants when they see the ocean! Troy: Yes you do. Eve: Or have perfect table manners! Troy: You know, I asked him about that. He said, good manners are just a way of showing other people we have respect for them. See, I didn't know that, I thought it was just a way of acting all superior. Oh and you know what else he told me? Eve: What? Troy: He thinks I'm a gentleman and you're a lady. Eve: [disgusted] Well, consider the source! I don't even know what a lady is. Troy: I know, I mean I thought a "gentleman" was somebody that owned horses. But it turns out, his short and simple definition of a lady or a gentleman is, someone who always tries to make sure the people around him or her are as comfortable as possible. Eve: Where do you think he got all that information? Troy: From the oddest place - his parents. I mean, I don't think I got that memo from mine.

Eve: Where are you parked? Adam: I came on a bus. Eve: Why does that not surprise me. Adam: Oh no, why doesn't that sunrise you? Eve: Well, I guess because I'm a little psychic. I have this thing. Adam: Oh, that's nice. Eve: Yeah, let me guess something. This is your first visit to La-La-Land. You're staying somewhere in Hollywood because like an idiot you thought that would be an exciting place to stay. Am I right so far? Adam: So far? Eve: Yes, I'm right? Adam: Right. Eve: I knew it. Somehow you get on a bus and before you know it you're stuck in the San Fernando Valley without a clue, which brings us to here. Correct again? Adam: Again. Eve: Where are you staying? The Holiday Inn. Adam: Yes! The Holiday Inn. That's exactly right. Eve: See, I'm psychic. I mean not completely but pretty much. Pretty good, huh? Adam: No, amazing. Eve: Yeah I know. Thanks.
