Dialogue

Arthur: Have you ever been on a yacht?

Linda: No, is it wonderful?

Arthur: It doesn't suck.

[in a department store, Arthur and Hobson see Linda putting a tie in her bag]

Arthur: Hobson, did you see that?

Hobson: Yes.

Arthur: She stole that tie! It's the perfect crime; girls don't wear ties! Although some do; it's not a perfect crime, but it's a good crime.

Hobson: Yes; if she murdered the ties it would be the perfect crime. Why are you so happy about all this?

Arthur: He's taking the knife out of the cheese!

Linda: Oh, my God!

Arthur: Do you think he wants some cheese?

Linda: No, I think we're gonna die!
