  Ivy : You've been a dear friend to me Paulie. We're birds of a feather, you and I. Betwixt and between, that's us. So what do we have tonight? Is it pretty?

  Paulie : Oh, very pretty. There's more orange now, and it's getting darker. Just a little gold left.

  Ivy : The sun must almost be set. Can you see any stars yet?

  Paulie : Not yet.

  Paulie : What's wrong with my manners?
