Oliver Plexico : Pssssst! Maggie!
Margaret Harwood : [Maggie looks out the window, leans out a little, then looks down and sees Oliver on the remaining block of the broken wall planter below] What are you doing?
Oliver Plexico : [smiles tiredly] I've come to rescue you!
Margaret Harwood : [looks behind her, then back to Oliver] Don't rescue me, it's a trap!
Oliver Plexico : Sweet, sweet Maggie! I know it's a Goddamned trap! The point is, I've somewhat bungled things. So... you're gonna have to save me.
Margaret Harwood : [stands upright, crossing arms] Are you safe on that thing?
Oliver Plexico : Define safe.
Margaret Harwood : [Turns around hastily, pulls the sheets off the bed, ties them into a long rope and ties it around herself hastily, prepared to lower it down to Oliver] Allright! I'll save your life! That's only fair, you saved mine! But then I'm calling it quits!
Oliver Plexico : Why?
Margaret Harwood : Because you have no respect for my feelings!
Oliver Plexico : I have respect for your feelings...
Margaret Harwood : Bull Shit!
Oliver Plexico : I get the feeling you don't believe me?
Margaret Harwood : Stop being charming!
Oliver Plexico : I haven't got much choice right now, I got a 50 foot drop below me, and a crazy lady 10 feet above!
Margaret Harwood : After we... After we did... After we were done with...
Oliver Plexico : After sex?
Margaret Harwood : Yes! Right! Correct! You could have got the number yourself, you didn't have to
[chokes back tears]
Margaret Harwood : throw your wife at me!
Oliver Plexico : I don't have a wife.
Margaret Harwood : I saw the wedding photo!
Oliver Plexico : That's my sister!
[Oliver starts to get aggravated]
Margaret Harwood : Don't make it worse!
Oliver Plexico : [yelling] Now you listen to me, Margaret! When I first met you, you were this... beautiful, crazy... ragamuffin. And I said to myself, hey! A beautiful, crazy... ragamuffin! I didn't have to fly down to get the bottle, I volunteered! Now why do you think I did that?
Margaret Harwood : Why should I believe any of this?
Margaret Harwood : [sighs, frustrated and looks around, motioning with his hand] A guy fresh from the chiropractor scales a 50 foot wall to save your life? This is not mass entertainment Maggie! It's gotta be... Love!

Margaret Harwood : What?
Oliver Plexico : You heard me...
Margaret Harwood : Well, a woman wants to hear it as loudly... and as frequently... as possible!
Oliver Plexico : [lowers his voice] I love you. Okay? I'm hopelessly and completely in love with you.
[raises his voice]
Oliver Plexico : And that's all you're gonna get for now!
Margaret Harwood : [lowers the make-shift rope to Oliver] Grab hold, I'll pull!
Oliver Plexico : Are you sure you're strong enough?
Margaret Harwood : I've waited for you all of my life, Oliver Plexico! I'm not about to lose you now!

Oliver Plexico : Son of a bitch!
Margaret Harwood : Exactly!

Ian : [In a poorly-done Scottish accent] Upon further review, this has proven to be a potential clue and must be returned to the... uh... castle.
Oliver Plexico : Yeah, right, that's a clue, you're a police inspector and I'm Herve Villechaize!
Ian : What?
Oliver Plexico : You know, the little guy on "Fantasy Island"?

Margaret Harwood : How do you know so much?
Oliver Plexico : Never said I didn't go to MIT.

Oliver Plexico : I never said I was poor.

Oliver Plexico : I can't believe we are doing all this for a beverage.
