• [first lines] 

  Jack Tripper : [they're playing Scrabble]  Hold it, hold it, you can't use a word like *that*!

  Janet Wood : I'm not finished yet. L, E, "title."

  Jack Tripper : Oh, sorry.

• Chrissy Snow : Hey, look, Lloyd is gonna be here in five minutes, so we don't want games all over the couch.

  [clears away Scrabble board] 

  Jack Tripper : What's he coming for then?

  Chrissy Snow : Dinner.

  Jack Tripper : Oh, and then games?

  Chrissy Snow : [smiling]  Know something? You have a one-track mind.

  Jack Tripper : [sits back]  I don't care. Just as long as it takes me where I wanna go.

• Jack Tripper : You're taking a big risk, Chrissy. I mean, you've never cooked before.

  Chrissy Snow : Well, he's not gonna be looking at the food with me wearing this dress.

  [twirls] 

  Jack Tripper : What's this guy actually like, Chrissy? I mean, where did you meet him?

  Chrissy Snow : At the supermarket.

  Jack Tripper : Oh, no, he picked you up?

  Chrissy Snow : No! You see, I dropped my liver...

  Jack Tripper : A handkerchief would have been better.

  Chrissy Snow : ...and then he picked it up and he gave it back to me.

  Jack Tripper : [sarcastic]  Oh, that's class.

  Chrissy Snow : And there was this long line at the check-out counter, and he let me get in front of him.

  Jack Tripper : So that he could get a better look at your rump roast?

  Chrissy Snow : I didn't buy any!

• Chrissy Snow : [apologizing for Jack and Janet's behavior to her date]  I am sorry!

  Lloyd Cross : Well, that's okay. I was hoping to get to bed early anyway.

  Jack Tripper : We know!

• Jack Tripper : [as Chrissy returns]  You're back early.

  Janet Wood : What did Lloyd do when you told him you knew he was married?

  Chrissy Snow : He went home to change his pants.

  [smiles] 

  Jack Tripper : [still enjoying his cream cake, nods, smiles]  Now that's class.

  Chrissy Snow : But first he told me something that I didn't know.

  Jack Tripper : What's that?

  Chrissy Snow : He's divorced.

  [flicks Jack's cream cake up against his nose] 

  Janet Wood : Divorced?

  Chrissy Snow : Yes. For over a year.

  Janet Wood : Oh.

  [quickly puts down her cream cake] 

  Jack Tripper : Excuse me while I go change into a clean face.

  [goes off] 

  Janet Wood : Oh, gee, Chrissy, I'm sorry, we didn't know.

  Chrissy Snow : Oh, that's all right, as long as everything turned out okay.

  Janet Wood : And you don't mind he was married before?

  Chrissy Snow : Why not? We've got a second-hand radio,

  [with glowing smile:] 

  Chrissy Snow : but it still makes beautiful music.

  Janet Wood : Yeah, but it takes a long time to warm up.

  Chrissy Snow : Well, he *doesn't.*

  [shakes her head] 

  Janet Wood : Okay. Good.

  Jack Tripper : [returns from bathroom, still toweling face]  Chrissy, I'm sorry. I promise I won't knock Lloyd anymore.

  Chrissy Snow : Good. Because I'm going away with him for the weekend.

  Jack Tripper : [seethes]  I'll knock him flat on his face!

  Chrissy Snow : [shrugs]  It's only for a business conference!

  Jack Tripper : You believe that?

  Chrissy Snow : Yes, he needs a secretary...

  Jack Tripper : I need a breath of fresh air!

  [walks out] 

  Janet Wood : Look, Chrissy, you know that I don't like to interfere...

  Chrissy Snow : Yeah, *don't*!

  Janet Wood : Okay.

  [nervous chuckle] 

  Janet Wood : But... you are too trusting, you know? I mean, what is all this business nonsense he's giving you? You can't believe that!

  Chrissy Snow : [insists]  It is going to be nothing but work. Besides, even if it isn't, it's my affair. I, I mean, I don't mean "affair," I mean it is my problem. Uh, I don't mean "problem" either, it's just... I mean... Ah!

  [storms off]

  Chrissy Snow : [unpacking in a huff, tossing clothes towards Janet]  Lloyd Cross! That's it! I have learned my lesson! I am *through* with men!

  Janet Wood : Oh, come on, Chrissy! You mean to tell me that if Robert Redford came to the door right now, you would send him away?

  Chrissy Snow : I would.

  Janet Wood : *What?*

  Chrissy Snow : Well, I'd have to fix my hair and makeup first,

  [smiles] 

  Chrissy Snow : and then I'd let him in.

  Janet Wood : I'm so glad things are getting back to normal around here.

  Jack Tripper : [appears ftom bathroom, brushing teeth]  I just thought of something. You are very lucky.

  Chrissy Snow : Lucky?

  Jack Tripper : Yeah. If you'd have married that guy, you'd have to go through your whole life as Chrissy Cross. You see, the...
