• Kate Walker : [answers phone]  Hello, Mum.

  Maggie : What are you wearing?

  Kate Walker : Purple dungarees.

  Maggie : Oh, you're not.

  Kate Walker : No, not really. I'm wearing a miniskirt and a boob tube. They're totally back in.

  Maggie : Oh, you're just being silly.

  [Kate laughs] 

  Maggie : Now, don't be nervous. Just be yourself.

  [peeks out the window watching the bizarre neighbor] 

  Kate Walker : Yes, thanks for the advice.

  Maggie : Oh, listen. I've been thinking about Greece.

  Kate Walker : Yeah. Okay. Well, can we talk about that later?

  [crosses the street] 

  Kate Walker : All right. Bye!

  Maggie : Bye.

  [hangs up phone and continues to watch the neighbor. He waves] 

• Kate Walker : [putting vacuum away]  Okay, Mama. It's me. Done. I've got to get to work.

  Maggie : Why don't you stay and have some lunch?

  Kate Walker : I can't. I've got to go. Um, not to pry or anything, but why is there a large smoked ham under the stairs?

  Maggie : Oh, that. Yes. It's um... The neighbor gave it to me.

  Kate Walker : The Polish neighbor?

  [her mother nods] 

  Kate Walker : So, probably not a mass murderer.

  Maggie : Probably not.

  [Kate chuckles] 

• Kate Walker : Post.

  Maggie : Have a cup of tea with me.

  Kate Walker : Can't. I'm running late. Sorry.

  [cuts to Harvey playing the piano. Johnnie knocks on the glass giving a non verbal communication. Harvey turns around and then goes back to playing on the piano a little bit longer] 

  Maggie : He's at it again.

  Kate Walker : Who? At what?

  Maggie : The new neighbor, barbecuing or something. I've heard he's from Poland.

  Kate Walker : Oh, well, you know, maybe Polish people like to barbecue a lot.

• [last lines] 

  Maggie : Hi.

  Polish Neighbor : Hello.

  Maggie : I wanted to say thank you for the ham and sorry for taking so long to say thank you.

  Polish Neighbor : You're welcome

  Maggie : It's smoked.

  Polish Neighbor : Yes. Please come in.

  Maggie : Oh, no. I can't. I shouldn't. I have to...

  Polish Neighbor : Please.

  Maggie : Perhaps... Perhaps you could just show me how to cut it.

  Polish Neighbor : Absolutely. Please, come in.

• Maggie : [looks at toothbrush holder]  Where do you put this?

  Kate Walker : It's my toothbrush thingy. Just stop fiddling. Prescription. Now listen, you don't have to keep taking these. The doctor said.

  Maggie : I like to. Makes me feel better.

• Maggie : Men. Who needs them? Remember, we've got Greece to look forward to.

  Kate Walker : Yeah.

  [hugs Maggie and kisses her cheek] 

  Kate Walker : Got lipstick on your face.

  [wipes it off with her finger] 

  Kate Walker : See you.
