"Harry!"
"Your powers of deduction are particularly sharp today, Dimitri."
"You're back!"
"As are your skills at stating the patently obvious."
"But we thought…"
"What, that you'd got rid of me?'
"No, god no."
"God had little to do with it, Dimitri. Now, where's Ruth?"
"Ruth?"
"Yes, Ruth…short, brunette, blue eyes. I presume she hasn't left, or defected in the last couple of weeks?"
"She's in the registry, I think."
"Get her. Now."
"Okay, Harry…and by the way, it's good to have you back."
"It's good to be back."
"Harry!"
"Ruth."
"You're…."
"Still in a job?"
"Yes, but…"
"I don't really know how either, Ruth, but, yes… I'm here."
"I'm glad."
"Are you?"
"Yes, Harry. I'm glad it's over."
"You're not the only one. Though at moments it was rather… instructive."
"Not quite the terminology I would have expected you to use."
"No. well, sometimes it takes something extreme to make things seem clearer."
"Harry…I need to…"
"Come to dinner with me."
"return these files ….What?"
"Come to dinner with me, Ruth. Tonight."
"Tonight?"
"Eight o'clock. I'll pick you up."
"No."
"Ruth, please."
"No, I don't mean no…I mean I'll meet you there."
"Oh, right. Good."
"Yes."
Tonight then, Ruth."
"Yes, Harry… tonight."
