Susan Parker:  Moonlight on the water , stars in the sky , slow music , it 's almost overdone , is n't it ? They might 've at least omitted the music .
Tommy Randall: Everything 's here , including you and me . Taken all together , that spells romance .
Susan Parker: Romance takes _ two _ .
Tommy Randall: There are two here .
Susan Parker: Yes , but not the right two . You see , I 'm engaged . To Richard Hope , Mrs. Hope 's son . He 's meeting the boat in Bangkok . We 're to be married there .
Tommy Randall: Why Bangkok ?
Susan Parker: Well , he lives there . He with an exporting firm .
Tommy Randall: Exporting what ?
Susan Parker: Oh , ivory , apes , peacocks - that sort of thing . He came out here two years ago , and he 's worked very hard .
Tommy Randall: You mean you 've been engaged for two years , and you haven't seen him in all that time ? Oh , you Latins , what a hot - blooded race you are .
Susan Parker: Richard is n't quite like that . Besides , we 've known each other since we were children .
Tommy Randall: Well , I must say it all sounds rather lyrical .
Susan Parker: It may not be exactly lyrical .
Tommy Randall: Me , I 've never been engaged , not definitely , that is , but if I were ...
Susan Parker: Not definitely is right . I seem to recall something in the newspapers : " Millionaire Playboy Sued for Breech of Promise . "
Tommy Randall: Oh , I practically won that case . She only got ten thousand dollars . Poor kid , she 'd been counting on fifty .
Susan Parker: Ten thousand dollars ? That 's more than Richard makes in a year .
