Scratch:Let’s tell this LGB Coalition first. They’d get it.

Scratch:Oh, no, it’s true. You know everything!
Winc:::laughing:: Non non, darling.
Scratch:You do!
Winc:So I can write an announcement from both of us, and send it all around the world.
Scratch:Wow. ::shyly:: Do you really think anyone would give a damn?
Winc:Scratch, I have six letters from CBS News alone in my mailbox.
Scratch:Hmm, so do I. I thought it was advertisement offers.
Winc:From a news program?
Scratch:Oh.
