Judy Ralston:
Hi, Slap.

Slap Maxwell:
Judy. I thought you left town.

Judy Ralston:
You almost got run over.

Slap Maxwell:
You didn't leave town!

Judy Ralston:
I did. I flew to Chicago. Then I flew to New York, then to Los Angeles, then back here.

Slap Maxwell:
Beefing up those frequent flyer miules, is that it?

Judy Ralston:
I saw Alien 3 times. It reminded me of you.

Slap Maxwell:
So why did you come back?

Judy Ralston:
Well, I did a lot of thinking, and I realized what we have is pretty good. You see, most relationships are destroyed by hopes that can never be fulfilled. But with you, there's no reason to hope. So I can never be disappointed. Plus, my Dad will probably kill you eventually. Or, you'll die or natural causes. Either way, I'll still be relatively young. And I've got frequent flying. I can get out of town anytime I want to.

Slap Maxwell:
Tell me. Are you wearing-anything at all-under that raincoat?

Judy Ralston:
No. That's what I couldn't understand.

Slap Maxwell:
What's that?

Judy Ralston:
All those airport alarms kept going off. What do you suppose that means?

Slap Maxwell:
Let me tell you.
