River:

I’ll use your weakness against you.

Sutton:

What’s my weakness?

River:

Sex.

Sutton:

That’s my power.

River:

Either way, I’ll keep you busy with it, and you’ll never be able to get rid of me.

Sutton:

Never, huh?

Sutton:

You don’t think they’ll ever catch whoever killed your father?

River:

We’re hoping it happens soon.

Sutton:

Then you’ll leave, so the never is really not applicable here.

River:

What if I stay?

Sutton:

Why would you stay?

River:

I like the town. It’s interesting, and . . .

River:

I like you.

Sutton:

I thought you said we weren’t going to lie to each other.

River:

It’s not a lie.
