-Yeah. Well...

here's your laundry.

-Oh, right.

So, uh, can you join me

for a scotch?

-Oh, l'm not much of a drinker,

really.

-And some music.

'Cause without music,

life would be a mistake.

-So, I have a confession

to make.

I wore one of your tops.

You know, the one

with the zipper?

-Really?

-A school teacher

at a Christian college

has to get her kicks somehow.

It did make me feel a little...

racy, for a while.

-I'm sure it looked great

on you.

Your man must've liked it.

-What man?

-Oh... I just thought, you know,

someone as beautiful as you are

would, uh...

-Oh, well...

-You have an exquisite mouth,

you know.

-I do?

-I have a confession

to make too, actually.

I did the, uh, switcheroo

on purpose.

-Why?

-I wanted to see you again.

-Why?

-I don't know. You moved me.

-Because I was so pathetic,

I suppose?

-No. No, I can't explain.

Um... I'm sorry if

that's embarrassing.

-No. No, I mean, I...

I think you were... really...

very tender,

at the Laundromat.

You touched me.

-I wanted to.

Camille, I'd love to see you

in the moonlight

with your head thrown back

and your body on fire.

-Okay.

That was uncalled for.

-True. But if you wait

for what's called for,

usually nothing happens, so...

-Well, I am clearly

a bit out of my element here.

Can I have my... my laundry?

-No. No, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

Sit down. I was just...

-I must be fun to shock

or something.

-It's true, you are, but I...

-Well, I'm nobody's fool.

-No.

No, no, no. Of course you're

not. I'm the fool. I'm sorry.

I...

-Can I have my laundry?

-So you're a school teacher,

huh?

-My laundry. Please.

Thank you.

[ Tory ]:
lf the foundation

money comes through,

we might be all right.

We might be able to squeeze by.

But what do you mean,

good authority?

Did you talk to the foundation

yourself?

'Cause if the money doesn't come

through this time, I don't--

Timothy...

-That is the problem here.

-I swear to God,

I've just about had it.

If I'd known it was gonna be

like this, I would've--

-What? What, gone back

to your racoon act?

-Don't start that.

It was a good idea.

-Yeah, racoons.

-How was I suppose to know

they were so selfish?

-You know, I think maybe

it's this fuse here.

-How did you find me?

-There aren't 20 Christian

colleges

with someone named Camille

teaching here.

Listen, I wanted to, uh...

apologize for being

so aggressive

last night.

l don't know anyone here,

and I just...

-Come.

-Let's go.

You look great.

-Thanks.

[ laughing ]

-That's good! Most impressive!

So, we've covered abortion,

church and state,

predestination, drug abuse,

prostitution...

Ah yes, homosexuality.
