  [turns to Chad and points a finger at him] 

  Mr. Chapman : You're fired. You see?

• Maile Duval : Men, you can have them.

  Chad Gates : I don't want em.

  Maile Duval : Get out!

  [Maile slams the door] 

  Chad Gates : I want you!

• Chad Gates : I could try to explain what happened, Maile but nobody would believe me. Not even me. Will you just believe this- I love you and there's nothing between Miss Prentice and me.

  Maile Duval : Well of course you deny it. But I know that look and she's got it.

  Chad Gates : That look is for Jack. He's got it, too.

  Maile Duval : Mr. Kellman and Miss Prentice?

  [Chad nods, smiling] 

  Maile Duval : Oh, you can do better than that. You must think I'm a fool.

• Mr. Chapman : She's a lovely woman, that Miss Prentice. They make a handsome couple, young Gates and Miss Prentice.

  Maile Duval : They do?

  Mr. Chapman : Yeah. Miss Prentice is quite taken with the boy, too. She's even extended her tour.

  Maile Duval : Now that's hanky-panky. From where I stand.

  Mr. Chapman : What? Oh, excuse me. Well, please sit down.

• Maile Duval : You're coming in loud and proud.

• Mr. Chapman : Now, then, Miss Duval, what is it you want?

  Maile Duval : Eh, Mr. Chapman, you sent for me.
