Emily Hartley: [Howard—dressed like Tobin, in head-to-toe leather, and Ellen are over at Bob and Emily's. John Tobin's left—finally] Howard, you are incredible.

Howard Borden: I don't mean to be. I just want my girl back, that's all.

Ellen Hartley: [laughing] Oh, Howard... [smiling, and looking at Howard]
...you never lost me.

Howard Borden: [Quietly, looking at Ellen] I didn't?

Ellen Hartley: [Ellen mumbles 'no'] Hmmm. But, why did you have to act so crazy? I mean, all you had to do is stay out of it, and let me handle it in my own way.

Howard Borden: [Howard instantly points at Bob] Bob told me to do it.

Dr. Robert 'Bob' Hartley: [Quizzically] What?

Howard Borden: [Shrugs his shoulders] You told me to 'go with my feelings.'

Dr. Robert 'Bob' Hartley: [Bob looks at Emily] Well, yeah, but, I-I didn't charge you for it.

Emily Hartley: Howard; I'm sure Bob didn't tell you to go out and buy a leather sweatsuit, or, or to spend a fortune in overseas phone calls. Or come to the airport dressed like Snoopy!”
