Jeff:
You know, much as I hate to give Thomas J. Doyle too much credit, he might have gotten ahold of something when he said that was pretty private stuff going on out there. I wonder if it is ethical to watch a man with binoculars and a long-focus lens. Do you, do you suppose it's ethical even if you prove that he didn't commit a crime?
Lisa:
I'm not much on rear-window ethics.
Jeff:
Of course, they can do the same thing to me. Watch me like a bug under a glass if they want to.
Lisa:
Jeff, you know if someone came in here, they wouldn't believe what they'd see.
Jeff:
What?
Lisa:
You and me with long faces, plunged into despair because we find out a man didn't kill his wife. We're two of the most frightening ghouls I've ever known. You'd think we could be a little bit happier that the poor woman is alive and well. Whatever happened to that old saying: 'Love thy neighbor'?
Jeff:
You know, I think I'll start reviving that tomorrow. I'll begin with 'Miss Torso.'
Lisa:
Not if I have to move in to an apartment across the way and do the Dance of the Seven Veils every hour. [She lowers the blinds] The show's over for tonight. [She picks up her overnight kit of lingerie] Preview of coming attractions.
