Tom Forgot sexy.

Betsy ...man. I did not forget sexy.

Tom Listen to what you're saying. You sound like you're selling mouthwash.

Betsy We are selling mouthwash.

Tom Are we authorized to do that?

Betsy And why do you feel that you have to volunteer to me?

Travis Because I think that you are the most beautiful woman I've ever seen.

Betsy Thanks. But what do you think of Palantine? ...Charles Palantine, the man you're volunteering to help elect President.

Travis Well, I'm sure he'd make a good ]. I don't know exactly what his policies are, but I'm sure he'd make a good one.

Betsy Do you want to canvass?

Travis I would say he has quite a few problems. His energy seems to go in the wrong places. When I walked in and I saw you two sitting there, I could just tell by the way you were both relating that there was no connection whatsoever. And I felt when I walked in that there was something between us. There was an impulse that we were both following. So that gave me the right to come in and talk to you. Otherwise I never would have felt that I had the right to talk to you or say anything to you. I never would have had the courage to talk to you. And with him I felt there was nothing and I could sense it. When I walked in, I knew I was right. Did you feel that way?

Betsy I wouldn't be here if I didn't.

Travis ...That fellow you work with. I don't like him. Not that I don't like him, I just think he's silly. I don't think he respects you.

Travis Organiziezed. Organiziezed - it's a joke. O-R-G-A-N-E-Z-I-E-Z-D.

Betsy Oh, you mean Organizized'. Like those little signs they have in offices that say "Thimk".

Travis I'll tell you why. I think you're a lonely person. I drive by this place a lot and I see you here. I see a lot of people around you. And I see all these phones and all this stuff on your desk. It means nothing. Then when I came inside and I met you, I saw in your eyes and I saw the way you carried yourself that you're not a happy person. And I think you need something. And if you want to call it a friend, you can call it a friend.

Betsy Are you gonna be my friend?

Travis Yeah. What do ya say? It's a little hard standing here and asking...Five minutes, that's all, just outside. Right around here. I'm there to protect ya. Come on, just take a little break.

Betsy I have a break at four o'clock and if you're here...

Travis Four o'clock today?
