Eloise Y. Kelly: You couldn’t tell him?
Victor Marswell: No.
Eloise Y. Kelly:  You went noble.
Victor Marswell: I went yellow.
Eloise Y. Kelly: You went noble. [beat] How do you plan to break the news down the street?
Victor Marswell: I’ll think of some way.
Eloise Y. Kelly: [pointing to alcohol] That’s just the way to keep you clearheaded, of course.
Victor Marswell: Sometimes it gets you nasty enough to get a nasty job done.
Eloise Y. Kelly: Then don’t be so stingy with your nastiness, partner.
Victor Marswell: Come here. Let’s have a drink. [beat] Like I’ve always said, Kelly, you’re all right.
Eloise Y. Kelly: Here’s to your noble nastiness.
