SCENE: Man in a suit with a curvy woman in a low-cut cocktail dress and long, opera gloves. The man has one hand on her shoulder and is holding one of the woman's hands with his other hand. He's smiling and she looks---bored? Resentful? Miffed? Trapped? Some combo of all these things?
MAN: I don’t know what I’m talking about, but...I’ll bet I’m right!
WOMAN (thinking): So handsome, so strong...so stupid!
