- Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Ha-ha.

- What are these?

- Roses.

- They're red.

- Of course they're red.

- But, Mom, I don't want red roses. I want white, like a swan.

- Have you seen Bromley?

- No.

- Has anyone seen Bromley?

- Would you feed this to a swan? Take it back. Something light, something fresh.

- No, no, no, Rogers, hold it.

- What's wrong?

- Tonight the music must be played rubato. Soft and graceful, like a swan.

- A swan?

- You ever seen a swan, Rogers?

- Of course I've seen a swan.

- If you could play a swan, what would it sound like? Soft and graceful, Rogers.

- Where is Bromley?

- No one has seen him, Derek.

- You're kidding. Who's gonna be my best man?

- Best...? You mean...? You... Oh, Derek.

- There you go, Rogers. That's the stuff.
