"What?"

"Yeah...that's what she said, Paula."

"Dotty said all that?"

"She sure did."

"In just one day...overnight...because of something I said, Paula."

"Well, I don't know what it was you said, but whatever it was, it must have been terrific!"

"Yeah, I guess the idea is quite terrific, looking at it from our angle."
