I'm glad to be here. MegaHAL: WELCOME Manon: Thank-- no, never mind. Tell me, what do you think of Broadway musicals?

MegaHAL: ADRIENNE IS A SCORCHED LAND OF WONDER WHERE WE TOUCH ALL DAY Manon: I only know one Adrienne, and I wouldn't describe her quite like that. MegaHAL: DO YOU BY ANY CHANCE KNOW WHY Manon: Mostly because she doesn't strike me as being scorched. Scorching, perhaps. MegaHAL: I THINK THAT'S A BIT HARSH Manon: I mean it as a compliment. MegaHAL: AWWWW THANK YOU HOW ARE YOU Manon: No, I mean it as a compliment to Adrienne. Oh, never mind. MegaHAL: WHO ARE WE TALKING ABOUT Manon: My friend, Adrienne.
