Scott 'Scotty' McClenahan : Well, what the - Why did you do a stupid thing like that?
Janet Porter McClenahan : Because, he asked me to. He says that an article about you in his magazine would help your career.

Janet Porter McClenahan : Scotty, will you try something for awhile?
Scott 'Scotty' McClenahan : Sure. What?
Janet Porter McClenahan : Try being pals again. Like we were before we got married. I'll live with my folks and you live with Mom. We'll just see each other whenever we like; only, no lovemaking.
Scott 'Scotty' McClenahan : You serious?
Janet Porter McClenahan : Never more so, in my life. I've got to have time to find out if we really care for each other, or, if it's, well, animal attraction. Will you be a good sport and humor me?
Scott 'Scotty' McClenahan : I don't see any sense to it. But, I'm so goofy about you, I'll stand on my head if it will make you happy.
Janet Porter McClenahan : Is it a bargain?
Scott 'Scotty' McClenahan : Sure. What a sap a guy is, to fall in love.

Janet Porter McClenahan : No, darling. Not for awhile.

Scott 'Scotty' McClenahan : Certainly, that's what honeymoon's are for!
Janet Porter McClenahan : I'll bet even Dr. Tuck's clock thinks we are simple. Isn't that cute?
Scott 'Scotty' McClenahan : Yes, just like Dr. Tuck too. Sort of quaint and kind and New Englandish.
Janet Porter McClenahan : Exactly the kind of wedding present a sweet old soul like him would give. Our first piece of furniture. We'll have to furnish the rest of our apartment around it.
Scott 'Scotty' McClenahan : The nucleus of our home, Dr. Cluck's tock.
Janet Porter McClenahan : Ha-ha-ha. Dr. Cluck's tock. Oh, do you deny now that you're daffy?
Scott 'Scotty' McClenahan : I never denied it. But, you do like me a little bit, don't you?
Janet Porter McClenahan : Oh, about a nickel's worth.
Scott 'Scotty' McClenahan : Is that all?
Janet Porter McClenahan : [after they kiss, gets up to leave, starts to take off her robe, looks back] Oh Scotty?
Scott 'Scotty' McClenahan : Yes, darling.
Janet Porter McClenahan : [Seductively] Don't forget to wind Dr. Cluck's tock.

Janet Porter McClenahan : [Calling on the phone] Scotty! This is Janet!
Scott 'Scotty' McClenahan : Yes, darling! I-I mean, Janet.
Janet Porter McClenahan : It's such a lovely night. I thought we, we, could, we might like going home to New York. I think tomorrow'd be a grand day to, to, wind, Dr. Cluck's tock.
