TONY

Congratulations!

MELODY

Why?

TONY

You finished the Sullivan project, right?

MELODY

Yeah. So?

TONY

We should celebrate.

MELODY

I am celebrating.

With my crew.

Who did the work.

TONY

And you led them.

MELODY

With Eric. He did most of it.

TONY

Are you always this resistant to being celebrated?

MELODY

I celebrate when warranted. In this case I am doing the appropriate amount of celebrating.

TONY

Let me treat you.

MELODY

Again, why?

TONY

Because. You. Deserve. To. Be. Celebrated.

MELODY

TONY

How about this: can I treat you to a weekend in Niagara Falls where we can go out and enjoy ourselves as two people who enjoy spending romantic time together out in public?

MELODY

Public?

TONY

Since you don’t want us to be seen together in Sunflower Falls, let’s go to Niagara.

TONY

Melody?

MELODY

Sure. Fine. Sure. When?

TONY

Next weekend. Room is booked. My treat.

MELODY

How do you talk me into these things?

TONY

I’m a very charming individual.

MELODY

:snort:

TONY

Marry me?

MELODY

You’re not that charming.
