• Ellen Wagstaff Arden aka Eve : Oh, by the way, how was my funeral?

  Ma : Lovely. Doctor Blake preached a wonderful service.

  Ellen Wagstaff Arden aka Eve : Oh, I wish I had been there.

• Ellen Wagstaff Arden aka Eve : [answering the phone]  Hello?

  Ma : Oh hello, Ellen? Ellen I have some good news for you: there was a call from Judge Bryson's office. They said that Nicky's annulment has been filed, and that you've been declared legally alive,

  [slightly puzzled at the last part] 

  Ma : and you owe him $50. Aha, so, you and Nicky are husband and wife again - you can just pick up where you left off.

  Ellen Wagstaff Arden aka Eve : Goodbye.

  Nick Arden : Who was that?

  Ellen Wagstaff Arden aka Eve : [in a last lying effort to 'play hard to get']  They just phoned to say uh, the road is open.
