Daphne

(interrupts and hurriedly puts down her paper) Oh, I forgot to tell you. Al Netchie called me today.

George

Ya, ya. I bumped into him on the bus. What did he have to say?

Daphne

He told me not to get involved with you.

George

What?

Daphne

Ya, he said you could never make a commitment to any one and you'd just wind up (reaches out and lightly slaps George's hand) hurting me.
