Matthew Gunn: That wasn't my idea. Claire Winter: It was mine. Matthew Gunn: What is your world? Claire Winter: Very private, Mr. Gunn. Very exclusive. Matthew Gunn: And very special too. Claire Winter: VERY special.

Claire Winter: Give me a cigarette, will you, Gunn? Matthew Gunn: Sure. Claire Winter: Now drop dead. Matthew Gunn: Any time you say. You make it sound exciting.
