Jennifer: Batholemew? He’s okay.. I guess..
Catherine: [ sighs ] Oh, I think he’s wonderful. He’s so sweet and intelligent, and I think he likes you-ou!
Jennifer: Oh, that’s nice.
Catherine: Yeah. You know, Bartholemew’s a lot like Vincent – his beauty is inside, in his soul. And that’s where you must look.
Jennifer: Mmm-hmm..
Catherine: You know, sometimes I’m amazed at Vincent’s wisdom and inner calm, it’s so inspiring.
Jennifer: Yeah, it sounds inspiring.. Listen, I reallyappreciate you trying to set me up with a boyfriend, but.. I-I-I don’twant to ruin your night. I saw a bus stop back there, I think I’lljust..
Catherine: No. No.

Vincent: [ to Bartholemew ] Oh.. uh, could you get the door, please?
Catherine: Here, let me take that. [ reaches for the trays ]
Vincent: Oh, would you please, darling? Thank you so much. [ steps into the car ] Let me just walk past you here.. [ sits down ] For a minute, we were lost. But the beauty in this car was our beacon.
Catherine: No, Vincent. What you saw was my love for you.
Vincent: Promise me, Catherine, that you will never extinguish that love. [ they embrace ]
Bartholemew: [ sits next to Jennifer ] Here are your nachos.
Jennifer: Thanks.
Bartholomew: You know, when I was at the cheese pump, I didn’t know how much cheese you wanted.. so I put some on the nachos, and I put some on the plate.
Jennifer: Uh.. Thanks. How much do I owe you?
Bartholomew: Well.. it was 80 cents for the Coke.. $1.50 for thenachos.. but, maybe I should pay..?
Jennifer: Uh.. no. I would really rather you didn’t. [ hands him some money ]
Catherine: [ still in the embrace ] It feels so good with your arms around me. Vincent. You are everything to me.
Vincent: Without you, my love, there is no me.
Bartholomew: [ turns to Jennifer ] This tastes like Diet – I think it’s yours! [ thrusts the cup toward her ]
Jennifer: [ startled ] Oh.. oh.. oh, okay..
Vincent: Hey, you two. How’s everything in the front seat?
Bartholomew: Fine.
Jennifer: Great.
Vincent: No one’s watching the movie, I hope! [ laughs ]
Catherine: You guys should be getting to know one another, huh?
Vincent: Bartholemew, entertain the lady.
Catherine: Yeah! Jennifer, did you know that Bartholomew knows a lot about the city’s sewers?
Jennifer: Uh.. no. He never mentioned that..
Bartholomew: Well, yeah.. the sewers. That’s where I live.. right? So.. you know, I use them to get around a lot, so.. well, you know, it’s funny.. but you learn a lot about the city that way.
Vincent: [ pleased ] There you go!
Bartholomew: Okay, uh.. I’ll show you. Where do you live?
Jennifer: Uh.. the East 60’s.
Bartholomew: Yeah, but where exactly?
Jennifer: Uh.. 62nd and 3rd.. 202 E. 62nd.

Vincent: I think we should retire, and leave these two totheir privacy. But first.. Jennifer, would you mind turning down thespeaker? Bartholomew, why don’t you try to find 102-FM? Let’s get alittle mood music going..
Catherine: [ grabbing Vincent ] Come here, you!
Vincent: I can think of nothing I’d rather do! [ growlsplayfully, as they make out in the back ]
