[Wendy brings Jack breakfast in bed]

Wendy:
It's really pretty outside. How about taking me for a walk after you've finished your breakfast?

Jack:
Oh, I suppose I oughta try to do some writing first.

Wendy:
Any ideas yet?

Jack:
Lots of ideas. No good ones.

Wendy:
Well, something'll come. It's just a matter of settling back into the habit of writing every day.

Jack:
Yeah, that's all it is

Wendy:
It's really nice up here, isn't it?

Jack:
I love it, I really do. I've never been this happy or comfortable anywhere.

Wendy:
Yeah, it's amazing how fast you get used to such a big place. I tell you, when we first came up here, I thought it was kind of scary.

Jack:
I fell in love with it right away. When I came up here for my interview, it was as though I had been here before. I mean, we all have moments of déjà vu, but this was ridiculous. It was almost as though I knew what was going to be around every corner.
