Jay Austin : He's gonna take one look at you and me talking and he's gonna figure out right off what's going on.
Donna Caldwell : What's going on?
Jay Austin : How attracted you are to me. You'll have him climbing the walls. Then later, when he gets you alone, he's gonna tell you what a jerk I am, and he's gonna order you to stay away from me.
Donna Caldwell : No. My father doesn't order me to do anything. We have an agreement.
Jay Austin : He'll break it.
Donna Caldwell : No he won't. We made it when I was 7 years old.
Jay Austin : You were never 7 years old.
