Angela: “You just couldn’t wait to get me out of the dress, could you, Tony? Are you happy now?”
Tony: “I would be lying if I said I’m not enjoying the view. But let me be clear about something, I’m not planning to take advantage of you in any way.”
Angela: “So what was it with all the things you said when we met? I thought it was your failed attempt at flirting.”
Tony: “Obviously it was my failed attempt at breaking the ice. I owe you an apology for that, I didn’t mean to scare you. I will not touch you unless it involves protecting you or unless you explicitly ask me to. However, you must forgive me, because I cannot help myself not to appreciate a woman’s beauty every now and then. And you are a very beautiful woman, Ms. Bathgate.”

Angela: I wouldn’t have guessed you could cook, Tony.
Tony: I’m Italian, madam, and I…
Angela: Maybe you should start calling me Angela. People usually call me by my first name after they’ve seen me in my underwear…
Tony: …live alone, Ms. Bathgate.
Angela: It feels funny being still called Ms. Bathgate. I presume your hearing is all right, Tony?
Tony: I can hear you perfectly, Ms. Bathgate.

Tony: I can hear you perfectly, Ms. Bathgate.
Angela: Are you going to tell me what your problem is?
Tony: Are we going to discuss the important matters like your safety? You need my services. Somebody drugged you last night. If I wasn’t there they would’ve taken you, whoever they were. I can’t fully protect you if you don’t cooperate. You have to listen to me.
Angela: No, I don’t. I’m sure Randy can protect me better than you.
Tony: I haven’t seen him in the club last night. Your friend has a life of his own. He can’t be there for you 24/7 as this situation requires. I can.
Angela: It could have been you who spiked my drink.
Tony: You don’t actually believe that, do you, Ms. Bathgate?
Angela: Let’s say you are right about the danger I’m in. I need to talk to Randy before I give you my final answer.
Tony: (sigh) Of course you do.
