[Emmett writes a check for Harriet]

Emmett Gates:
Now I give you this and you give me the tape recording and we can both look back on our friendship with fond memories.

Harriet Britton:
But Emmett honey, this is for two thousand dollars.

Emmett Gates:
Well, think nothing of it.

Harriet Britton:
That's exactly what I do think of it.

[Harriet tears up the check]

Harriet Britton:
Nothing!

Emmett Gates:
Nothing? What exactly did you have it mind?

Harriet Britton:
Fifteen thousand dollars.

Emmett Gates:
Fifteen!

Harriet Britton:
Well, think how much more that it would cost you if your wife divorced you.
