ALEX
I should never have come back here...
GEORGE
Oh, don't talk such nonsense!
ALEX

GEORGE
Don't be absurd.
ALEX
I'm a disaster...
GEORGE
Oh, come, come!
ALEX
...It wouldn't last a week --
She'd be far better off with you.
GEORGE
You two have your lives before you.
ALEX
It would end in murder...
GEORGE

It's high time I withdrew.
ALEX
Your place is here.
GEORGE
The jowls are dropping...
ALEX
It's the light.
GEORGE
...The paunch needs propping up --
She'd be far better off with you.

But alas untrue --
She'd be far better off with you.

ALEX
You've dined with Garbo...
GEORGE
Only twice.
ALEX
...Translated "La Boheme" --
She'd be far better off with y
