Cliff Forrester:
Now, careful there, my man. I don't need any lawsuits, you know what I mean? [points to carousel] My little restoration project.
Nick Eliot:
It's, um, really somethin'.
Cliff Forrester:
Yeah. I had it shipped out here from a carnival in Kansas. Right after Adrian was born. Dragged every damn piece up here one at a time. Wanna see it work?
Nick Eliot:
Sure.
Cliff Forrester:
[turns carousel on] Well, motor's kinda old, you know. Takes a little while to get up to speed. Anyway, [turns off carousel] you get the idea. Plan was to turn this whole attic into a kind of playroom, you know, for Adrian. Only problem was she never took to it. Now, I can't get the damn thing down. You know, Nick, Adrian's a... very special girl.
Nick Eliot:
Mm-hmm. She's, um, she's very bright.
Cliff Forrester:
This past year she's really, uh, blossomed. Physically, I mean.
Nick Eliot:
Mmm! I noticed.
Cliff Forrester:
You know, I swear to God not a night goes by I don't lay awake dreading that knock on the door, you know what I'm talkin' about, don't you?
Nick Eliot:
Not really.
Cliff Forrester:
Eh, some freakin' kid'll be standin' there with his hard-on stickin' out his pants. [takes out wrench from box] Hope I don't go breakin' it off. [laughs]
Nick Eliot:
[nervously laughs along]
Adrian Forrester:
Hi, Daddy.
Cliff Forrester:
Aw, hi, sweetheart. We were just talkin' about you.
Nick Eliot:
Hi.
Adrian Forrester:
You scared me I didn't know who was up here.
Cliff Forrester:
Aw, I was just showin' Nick your carousel.
Adrian Forrester:
It's your carousel, Dad. Remember, I ride real horses now?
Nick Eliot:
Well, I really oughta get going.
Cliff Forrester:
Oh, Adrian. What book'd ya loan Nick?
Adrian Forrester:
Book? Oh, well, that must've been Wuthering Heights. Did you like it?
Nick Eliot:
Yes. Very much.
Cliff Forrester:
Wuthering Heights, huh? Sounds a little femme to me.
Nick Eliot:
Anyway, I - I really oughta go.
Adrian Forrester:
Bye, Nick. Thanks for returning the book.
