- Sydney: Lauren, hey. I was going to call you about what happened with that guy. Look I know you must be miffed but there's an explination. Lauren?
- Lauren Etheridge: [hard and angry tone] Who are you to walk out on Roger Langdon? Who the hell do you think you are?
- Sydney: Lauren, the guy...
- Lauren Etheridge: I know all about the guy. So, he wanted to play games.
- Sydney: Lauren, I thought that working for you would be a good business and that it would be a safe establishment for me and all your other girls.
- Lauren Etheridge: Safe establishment? You want to work in a safe establishment? Join a bridge club, or get a job in a bank. But don't you ever, put me or my livelihood behind the eight ball!
- Sydney: Lauren, I'm sorry.
- Lauren Etheridge: "I'm sorry" costs me, Sydney. You ever do that again, and I will see to it myself that whatever Roger Langdon might have done to you would be a walk in the park! You wouldn't be able to form the words "I'm sorry." You couldn't even write them on a Magic Slate. Do I need to draw you a diagram?
- Sydney: [terrified] No, I think I got it.
