Duke: And watch for flares, okay? I don't trust this engine! Honey: Yes, sir. What about the soup I made you? Don't you want it? Duke: What for? I'll only be gone for 20 minutes. Honey: Not if the engine conks out, you won't. Pleas, sir, I'll feel better if you take it! Duke: No time, Honey, I'm late! Cast off the line! Honey: Give Mr. Diaz my regards, okay? And try to be courteous, sir. He's our first client and we have to cultivate him! Duke: The line, dammit, the line! Honey: And get a receipt! We might need it for the tax boys!

Honey reminds me of the ancient secretary (well, she was ten years older than I was) that I had in the good old typewriter days. She transcribed my dictation (before we all got computers and had to write our own notes). ONE mistake, and she had to do the whole page over! She was slow enough as was.
