- Annie Walker: That's in two days.

- Auggie Anderson: [on phone] Listen, this has got to be our last open phone call. From now on, you have to assume you're being watched. Are you wearing your encrypted phone?
- Annie Walker: Strapped to my thigh. Not very comfortable.
- Auggie Anderson: Only use it in an emergency.
- Annie Walker: Got it.
- [Vivian waves at her]
- Annie Walker: She's giving me the thumbs up. We're in.
- Auggie Anderson: Okay. Drink till you're sloppy and mix your bets. Remember, you gotta lose without looking like you're trying.
- Annie Walker: The way I play? It shouldn't be a problem.
- Auggie Anderson: Is something bothering you?
- Annie Walker: [shakes her head] My tooth is killing me.
- Auggie Anderson: We have an excellent dental plan.
- Annie Walker: Which I *will* use when I'm sure something's wrong.
- [diligently back to work behind computer]
- Auggie Anderson: Oh. A yellow-belly masochist.
- Annie Walker: *I am not yellow-bellied!*
- Auggie Anderson: [trans-Atlantic phone call] How's your tooth?
- Annie Walker: Still in my mouth. Not very happy.
- Auggie Anderson: Not the tooth's fault.
