• Rex Allerton : What do you do?

  Jane Dubois : I am a mathematician.

  Rex Allerton : Teehee, you're what?

  Jane Dubois : I see what you mean. It's improbable, isn't it?

  Rex Allerton : No, I'm sorry. No, I didn't mean to...

  Jane Dubois : No, no. It's quite alright. Hardly anyone believes me at first but when I multiply a few 10 digit numbers and give them the cube root for a few more, they come around.

  Rex Allerton : You do all that?

  Jane Dubois : And more, Smithy, and more.

  Rex Allerton : Look this may be my last night in Tremaggio. Will you have dinner with me?

  Jane Dubois : Of course! I've been sitting in this wet suit waiting for you to speak up. Come around at 8:30. We'll do some compound fractions before dinner.

• Rex Allerton : You're quite a mathematician, aren't you?

  Jane Dubois : It's a living.
