VIVIAN: People are looking at me.
EDWARD: They’re not looking at you; they’re looking at me.
VIVIAN: The stores are not nice to people. I don’t like it.
EDWARD: Stores are never nice to people; they’re nice to credit cards. Okay, stop fidgeting. Get rid of your gum. I don’t believe you did that.
MANAGER: Yes. I am Mr. Hollister, the manager. May I help you?
EDWARD: Edward Lewis.
MANAGER: Ah, yes, sir.
EDWARD: You see this young lady over here.
MANAGER: Yes.
EDWARD: Do you have anything in this shop as beautiful as she is?
MANAGER: Oh, yes. Oh, no! No, no, no, I’m saying we have many things as beautiful as she would want them to be. That’s the point I was getting at, and I think we can all agree with that. That’s why when you came in…
EDWARD: Excuse me. We’re gonna need a few more people helping us. I’ll tell you why. We’re going to be spending an obscene amount of money in here. So we’re going to need a lot more help sucking up to us. That’s what we really like. You understand that.
MANAGER: Sir, you’re in the right store and the right city for that matter. Anything you see here, we can do, by the way. Get ready to have some fun. Mary Pat, Mary Kate, Mary Francis, Tovah, let’s see it! Come on. Bring it out, girls.
VIVIAN: Oh, this is absolutely divine.
MANAGER: Excuse me, sir, uh,
EDWARD: Yeah?
MANAGER: Exactly how obscene an amount of money were you talking about? Just profane or really offensive?
EDWARD: Really offensive.
MANAGER: I like him so much!
EDWARD: You’re on your own. I have to go back to work. You look great! She has my card.
MANAGER: And we’ll help her use it, sir.
