Harper: So... you love me, huh?
Rommie: I said I love you in my own way. And I can't believe you sneaked into my memory files.
Harper: Just making sure the insane freak of the week didn't make any moves on my girl.
Rommie: *raised eyebrow* Your girl?
Harper: Yeah... well... I built you, and you love me, and...
Rommie: Yes, I know. You want to perform the connective act with me.
Harper: *wince* The 'connective act'? Ick.
Rommie: You don't want to perf...
Harper: Stop! Don't say it again. Call it making love, or doing the horizontal tango. Hell, call it bumpin' uglies. Just don't call it 'the connective act'.
Rommie: Calling it one thing or another doesn't change what it is.
Harper: Calling it that will change a guy's mind about whether or not he wants to do it with you.
