|
| RUDY: | So, did you have a good time last night? |
| NORAH: | Which part of last night? |
| RUDY: | Any part. All the parts. |
| NORAH: | You want to know if I enjoyed the sex. |
| RUDY: | No. No, I wasn't even thinking about that. |
| NORAH: | You weren't? |
| RUDY: | No. No. Well, maybe a bit. I mean, it crossed my mind. |
| NORAH: | Yes, I did enjoy it. |
| RUDY: | You did? |
| NORAH: | Very much. |
| RUDY: | Well, so did I. |
| NORAH: | I know you did. |
| RUDY: | What do you mean, you know? |
| NORAH: | Well, you were loud. |
| RUDY: | What? |
| NORAH: | Loud. You made a lot of noise. |
| RUDY: | What noise? |
| NORAH: | You know? The noises you make when you make love. You're very loud. |
| RUDY: | Oh. Well, sorry, I'll try and keep it down next time. |
| NORAH: | No, it's fine. I don't mind loud. |
| RUDY: | No, that's okay. You're right. I was loud. I guess I got carried away. I wasn't keeping you awake was I? Because the last thing I want to do is wake up the woman I'm making love to. |
| NORAH: | I shouldn't have said anything. |
| RUDY: | You know, you weren't exactly quiet. |
| NORAH: | I know. |
| RUDY: | You were pretty loud yourself. |
| NORAH: | Rudy... |
| RUDY: | Very loud, in fact. In fact, maybe that's why I was being loud. I was trying to be heard over you. |
| NORAH: | I'm sorry. You're insulted, aren't you? |
| RUDY: | No, I just didn't know I was being judged on volume. |
| NORAH: | Well, now don't take it the wrong way. |
| RUDY: | What way am I supposed to take it? I mean, I've never heard that before. Loudness. What kind of sexual barometer is that? |
| NORAH: | It's not a sexual barometer. |
| RUDY: | Whatever happened to endurance? Technique. I don't hear you talking about those. |
| NORAH: | You have wonderful technique. |
| RUDY: | What about endurance? |
| NORAH: | Yes, you hung right in there. |
