- Edward Adams: Alan, old boy!
- Allan Crane: Ed Adams! Of all people - what are you doing in this country? I thought you were in Paris!
- Edward Adams: I came back to do a series of covers for *Pose*.
- Allan Crane: Good work. Is the wife with you?
- Edward Adams: No, she's in China.
- Allan Crane: By herself?
- Edward Adams: Not exactly. Evelyn Grant's husband is with her.
- Allan Crane: Honestly?
- Edward Adams: I wouldn't call it honestly, but he's with her.
- Allan Crane: Oh, I'm sorry, Ed; really I am. What on earth can she see in that half-portion?
- Edward Adams: Full-portion bank account, I guess.
