I’m talking about you, Jack.

JACK: Oh. Sorry.

DAWN: What she was saying was, she had found her perfect niche with you.

JACK: Yeah well. If you’ve got a niche, scratch it. Sorry.

DAWN: What?

JACK: Nothing.

PHYLLIS: Just Jack being funny.

DAWN: But what about your big deal?

JACK: The what?

DAWN: The deal out West. Did you close on it?

JACK: Oh. Yeah, we closed on it.

DAWN: So now you can pay off the house on the Vineyard and you’ll be set for life.

JACK: I guess.

PHYLLIS: Are you okay?

DAWN: Jack …

JACK: Huh?

DAWN: What happened? You know?

JACK: What did you say … ?

DAWN: Oh nothing. Just something stupid Barry picked up from his ex.

PHYLLIS: You mean his ex-ex.

DAWN: Ruth. The dragon lady.

PHYLLIS: I saw Barry the other day.

DAWN: Oh yeah? What did he have to say for himself?

PHYLLIS: Not much.

DAWN: I’ll bet. Does he have a job yet?

PHYLLIS: I don’t think so. He asked me how you were.

DAWN: I hope you gave him hell.

PHYLLIS: I said that you were fine.

DAWN: Jerk … (JACK suddenly shifts as if he’s about to rise.)

PHYLLIS: Jack, what’s the matter?

JACK: Nothing. Nothing. Just—nothing.

PHYLLIS: Do you want to go home?

JACK: No. Let’s stay. Let’s order something.

PHYLLIS: Are you sure?

JACK: Yeah. Let’s chow down. Or chow up. Or chow in some direction.…

PHYLLIS: You don’t have a headache, do you?

JACK: Nope. Nope nope nope nope …

PHYLLIS: Scratch my neck. (He lightly scratches the nape of her neck.)

DAWN: Anybody know what “joyau de la chasse” is? I always forget to ask.

PHYLLIS: Joy of the chase?

JACK: Crown of the chase. Wild fowl stuffed with venison.

PHYLLIS: How did you know that?

JACK: I don’t know. Doesn’t everybody know that?

PHYLLIS: I didn’t know that.

DAWN: I guess he must’ve had it with some other woman, Phil.

PHYLLIS: I guess so.

DAWN: That is a great wife you got there, you know.

JACK: I know.

DAWN: Don’t you ever lose her, mister.

JACK: I wasn’t planning on it.

DAWN: That girl is solid gold.

PHYLLIS: Maybe I’d better leave.

DAWN: Oh sit down. We’re all adults here.

JACK: We are?
