Carole Hanson: I wonder how Max and Deborah are doing?
Stephanie 'Stevie' Lake: If I fall asleep before they come back, you have to wake me up.
Lisa Atwood: It's so romantic! Maybe they'll fall in love and get married, and then there'll be little Maxes and Debroahs running around Pine Hollow, riding on their little Shetland Ponies.
Stephanie 'Stevie' Lake: You've been reading way too many of these romance magazines, Lise.
Lisa Atwood: I have not! Give it back!
Stephanie 'Stevie' Lake: "Prince or frog? Take your disability quiz to find out!"

Carole Hanson: Shh!
Max Regnery: Sorry. It's always acting up. It'll only take a few minutes to fix. We should've taken your car.
Deborah: Don't worry. They'll hold our reservations.
Max Regnery: I don't understand how you can't like horses.
Deborah: I don't understand how you get up at the crack of dawn to shovel horse manure.
Max Regnery: What time do you city folk shovel your manure?
Deborah: We try not to do it at all, actually.
Carole Hanson: They're holding hands!
Stephanie 'Stevie' Lake: Yeah, but they're talking about manure. Is that a good sign?
Lisa Atwood: Shh! I can't hear what they're saying.
Deborah: I like you, Max. The horses I could do without.
Max Regnery: Me too, somedays.
Deborah: Really?
Max Regnery: Yeah, look at this place. The pipes are rusting, the wiring's shot, I'm here 7 days a week. Do you know what I would give to sleep in just once?
Stephanie 'Stevie' Lake: He's complaining about Pine Hollow.
Carole Hanson: I thought Max loved everything about this place, and horses!
Deborah: Max, I know it means a lot to you, but maybe you've outgrown it. It happens.
Max Regnery: Yeah, I know, it's just hard. My father gave it to me.
Deborah: Max, it's time to sell up. You agreed.
Max Regnery: Mm-hmm. I hate to admit it, but you're right. Okay. I'll sell to the first buyer. Okay?
Stephanie 'Stevie' Lake: I don't believe it.
Lisa Atwood: It can't be true!
Carole Hanson: We all heard it. Max is going to sell Pine Hollow!
Lisa Atwood: Max can't sell Pine Hollow!
Stephanie 'Stevie' Lake: It's all because of Deborah. She's the one who hates horses.
Carole Hanson: Right! If we hadn't been such great match-makers, we never would've been in this mess.
Stephanie 'Stevie' Lake: That's right! We were such great match-makers, so let's be great match-breakers.
