• Stanley Goodspeed : Oh, just some terrorists decided to send a little care package. Box of goodies. Which had to be neutralized before blowing up the office...

  [plucks a harsh note on his guitar] 

  Stanley Goodspeed : So I took the rest of the day off. Glass of wine, little guitar... Just relax.

  Carla : Wow.

  Stanley Goodspeed : I mean it, honey, the world is being Fed-exed to hell in a hand cart. I really believe anyone thinking even thinking of bringing a child into the world is coldly considering an act of cruelty.

  [pause, Carla stares at Stanley] 

  Stanley Goodspeed : I know, I'm rambling, I'm complaining, I'm sorry. What's your news, baby?

  Carla : I'm pregnant.

• Carla : [after telling Stanley she's pregnant]  You didn't mean what you just said, did you?

  Stanley Goodspeed : When?

  Carla : Just right now, when you were talking about bringing a child into the world, and having it be an act of cruelty.

  Stanley Goodspeed : I meant it at the time.

  Carla : Stanley, "at the time"? You said it seven and a half seconds ago!

  Stanley Goodspeed : Well... gosh, kind of a lot's happened since then.

• Stanley Goodspeed : [while in the prisoner transport van]  Hi, darling, it's me. Listen, do not come, I repeat, do not come to San Francisco.

  Carla : [Answers the phone]  Stanley, no.

  Stanley Goodspeed : Carla...

  Carla : Like hell I'm not comin'!

  [Hangs up] 

  Stanley Goodspeed : Wait, Carla...

  [tries to dial again] 

  John Mason : Who's Carla, and why don't you want her to come to San Francisco?

  Stanley Goodspeed : You're on a need-to-know basis... and you do'nt need to know.

• Stanley Goodspeed : [Stanley and Carla are making love. The phone rings]  I have to get that.

  Carla : No, you don't.

  Stanley Goodspeed : Yes, I do. They know I'm home.

  Carla : [annoyed]  Stanley, how can they possibly know you're home?

  Stanley Goodspeed : [beat]  It's the FBI.

• Stanley Goodspeed : I have to go to San Francisco

  Carla : No you don't, no you do not have to go San Francisco are you kidding me right now? You have to stay here and talk to me about things, I am catholic do you realize that? I am pregnant and unmarried this causes a serious problem for me

  Stanley Goodspeed : I love you, I will marry you I just didn't plan on this that's all, come to San Francisco with me

  Carla : Really?

  Stanley Goodspeed : I'm sure it's just a training exercise, we'll check into the hotel order some champagne...

  Carla : And finish what we started
