Quotes 

• Steve Douglas : You know, Guthrie said something to me the other day. He told me it would be easier to reach the moon than to reach JM Johnson.

  [What may be a new twosome, they're seated side by side in the front seat of Steve's convertible, top down; following a late night working together at the design table back at the office then a light supper - 'getting-to-know-you' time] 

  Joan Johnson : The moon is 240,000 miles away.

  [Silent stares; Steve slowly leans in for what Joan - and the audience - are waiting for, hoping for: their first kiss - on the lips] 

  Steve Douglas : Tell me something, Johnson.

  Joan Johnson : Hmmm.

  Steve Douglas : What's your first name?

  Joan Johnson : Joan.

  Steve Douglas : [He pulls back slowly]  Well, I'll tell you. I'll call you Johnson in the office, and Joan in the moonlight.

  [Clearly, Steve is smitten. Johnson isn't quite that eager for a relationship. She's on a plane back to her home office in Washington, D.C. the next day]
