“[Bill needs Jo’s signature on divorce papers]
Jo: So you want the papers?
Bill: I did drive all the way out here for ‘em.
Jo: They’re signed and ready.
Bill: Good, good. Let’s see ‘em.
Jo: Do you need them right this second?
Bill: Well, it’d be nice.
Jo: What’s the urgent urgency? You act like you’re getting married.
Bill: I am.
Jo: [after a shocked pause] Wow.
Bill: Yeah.
Jo: [while talking to her truck as Bill follows her] Is it Melinda?
Bill: Melissa.
Jo: Wasn’t there a Melinda in there somewhere?
Bill: No, there’s only been Melissa since you.
Jo: Boy, not much for browsing, are you?”
