       That's a bum rap.  I can't steal what 
       they offer to give me freely.  I make 
       them no promises and I spin no fairy 
       tales.  
 
                         GERI
       Harold, you are hopelessly 
       incorrigible.
 
                        HAROLD
       There you go again, flaunting your 
       fancy college degree in my face…
 
                         GERI
                (overlapping)
       Me flaunt?
 
                        HAROLD
                (admiring himself  
                 in the mirror)
       …and such a pretty face it is.

GERI laughs and shakes her head.  HAROLD may be an unrepentant playboy of the Western World, but he is family and cannot be denied.

                         GERI
       Dorothy.  Her name is Dorothy Dandridge.  
 
                        HAROLD
       Dorothy Dandridge…  Lovely.
