Porter:
I think it's time we had a talk.

Macon:
About what?

Porter:
I'd like to know what you think you're up to with this Muriel person.

Macon:
Is that what you call her, "this Muriel person"?

Porter:
You're not yourself these days, Macon, and this Muriel person is just a symptom. Everybody says so.

Macon:
Who is "everybody," anyway?

Porter:
We're just worried for you, Macon.

Macon:
Could we switch to some other topic?

Porter:
I had to tell you what I thought.

Macon:
Fine. You've told me.

Porter:
Can you tell me one unique thing about her? I mean, one really special quality, Macon, not something sloppy like "she appreciates me"?

Macon:
I'm not such a bargain myself, if you haven't noticed. Somebody ought to warn her away from me.

Porter:
That's not true. That's not true at all. I imagine her people are congratulating her on her catch.
