Rowena King: Lavinia Timoto

Quotes 

• David Grief : I could swear I saw all your girls downstairs hard at work.

  Lavinia Timoto : Good.

  David Grief : What did it cost you?

  Lavinia Timoto : I have nothing against unions, especially when the workers are being exploited.

  David Grief : Which, of course, would *never* apply to your girls.

  Lavinia Timoto : I had my own list of demands. In return for the minimum wage, there'd be set hours - none of this come in when you feel like it, leave when you want. No afternoon naps, no socializing with the customers...

  David Grief : Ohhh-ho-ho.

  Lavinia Timoto : And, in the interest of a democratic system, I proposed they pool all their tips and divide them equally. After they all stopped screaming, "Unfair!" we decided things were just fine the way they are.

  David Grief : I had no idea you were such a talented negotiator.

  Lavinia Timoto : You're not the only one with secrets.

• [last lines] 

  [discussing David's former lover, Sarah Blanchard] 

  David Grief : She was ancient history, Lavinia.

  Lavinia Timoto : She was someone you could make a commitment to.

  David Grief : Then why am I here with you?

  Lavinia Timoto : Then come in closer.
