Dialogue 3 Joe极力表白自己，想讨好Kathleen，但Kathleen 对Joe的谈话态度、内容特别反感……

Joe: I think you'd discover a lot of things if you really know me.

Kathleen: If I really knew you, I know what I'd find instead of a brain, a cash register. Instead of a heart, a bottom line.

Joe: What?

Kathleen: I just had a breakthrough.

Joe: What is it?

Kathleen: I have you to think for it. For the first time in my life, when confronted with a horrible, insensitive person I knew exactly what I wanted to say and I said it.

Joe: Well, I think you have the gift for it. That was a perfect blend of poetry and meanness.

Kathleen: Meanness let me tell you something about meanness.

Joe: Don't misunderstand me, I'm trying to pay you a compliment.

Kathleen: Oh, why are you touching that? What are you doing?

Joe: Is this a red rose? No, no, you know, it's crimson rose. Something you read about in a book no doubt.

Kathleen: It's funny to you, isn't it? Everything is a joke to you. Please leave. Please, please leave, I beg you, thank you.
