Frank Navasky : What?
Kathleen Kelly : In the last mayoral election, when Rudy Giuliani was running against Ruth Messenger, I went to get a manicure and forgot to vote.
Frank Navasky : Since when do you get manicures?
Kathleen Kelly : Oh, I suppose you could never be with a woman who got manicures...
Frank Navasky : Never mind. It's okay. I forgive you.
Kathleen Kelly : [stares] You *forgive* me?

Kathleen Kelly : So you'll do it?
Frank : Yes. Yes.
