  Mrs. Odlesh : It isn't as splashy as some other places, but we pride ourselves on being a little classier.

  Tod Hackett : [referring to a large crack in the plaster wall]  Hmmm, the crack's real.

  Mrs. Odlesh : Oh yes. We call this our earthquake cottage. Mrs. Porter had occupancy then. During the big one in '33. Property damage ran into the millions.

  Tod Hackett : Will you fix it if I stayed for a while?

  Mrs. Odlesh : Oh no! No! This is our showplace. Mrs. Porter wouldn't let us touch that wall. She worked that sampler herself to cover over the hole. Alrighty. I hope you'll be very happy here.

  Tod Hackett : Thank you.

• Faye : [Stepping out her front door, eating a breakfast muffin]  Hi.

  Tod Hackett : Hi, beautiful morning.

  Faye : Sure is, got a car ?

  Tod Hackett : No.

  Faye : Should. In this town it's a necessity. Where you heading to ?

  Tod Hackett : Paramount.

  Faye : Damn, we can't even share a cab.
