JULIE: Oh doll, fairy tales? / Now?

BEN: But this is true.

JULIE: Sometimes they are; still . . .

The goose will fly away if we / don’t

BEN: You were at the automat.

JULIE: Twenty-One.

BEN: Your automat.

JULIE: You find ways to be right even if you’re absolutely / wrong

BEN: And De Sica

JULIE: Not De Sica—can you at least, if you’re going to gum up the works, get the names / right?

BEN: He heard you laugh before he even saw you— What were you laughing at?

JULIE: I don’t re / member

BEN: . . . I saw you first. Cupid’s dart

JULIE: Sweetie, you’re making that up. I was famous.

BEN: I’m going to go to the hospital later. See Mom.

JULIE (Everything explained): Of course. I’ll come with you.

BEN: No. I want to go alone.

JULIE: . . . Yes. That’s best.

I’m so glad.
