Gittel 'Mosca' Moscawitz:
How'd I get in the wrong? Did you call about the icebox or not?

Jerry Ryan:
Not.

Gittel 'Mosca' Moscawitz:
Well, I can't follow this. You called.

Jerry Ryan:
I called because I was going out of my head in solitary.

Jerry Ryan:
I called to make contact with someone of the weaker sex, who's weaker.

Gittel 'Mosca' Moscawitz:
OK, here I am. Contact.

Jerry Ryan:
I called to ask you to dinner tonight. And a show, if you like.

Gittel 'Mosca' Moscawitz:
Well, why didn't ya?

Jerry Ryan:
I was afraid you'd say yes or no.

Gittel 'Mosca' Moscawitz:
I would have said "Sure"!

Jerry Ryan:
Right away we have problems. What show? Where to eat?

Gittel 'Mosca' Moscawitz:
Wait! Now I'm not so sure. I don't know if I want to get involved. You sound complicated.

Jerry Ryan:
Oh.

Gittel 'Mosca' Moscawitz:
I'm the girl, right? And you're the man. Make up your mind, ask me, and I'll make up mine.

Jerry Ryan:
Been trying for a month.

Gittel 'Mosca' Moscawitz:
To ask me to dinner?

Jerry Ryan:
No, to get unstuck from a piece of flypaper. After you've broken your leg in five places you hesitate to make that first step. Reason I hung up on you was because I didn't want to say, "Please, help me"
