Marie (to Sally): What did you do?
Jess (answering his phone): No one I know would call at this hour.
Sally: It’s so awful.
Harry (to Jess): I think the depth of our friendship…
Sally: It’s so awful.
Harry: …implies a call-at-any-hour policy.
Sally: Harry came over last night…
Jess: What’s the matter?
Harry: I went over to Sally’s last night…
Sally: …Because I was upset Joe was getting married…
Harry: …And one thing led to another…
Sally: …And he was comforting me, and before I knew it, we were kissing… and then…
Harry: …To make a long story short…
