  [pause] 

  Gabrielle : Look on the bright side - at least we're still rich.

• Gabrielle : Please calm down!

  John Rowland : This doesn't make any sense. Okay you love me. I know you love me.

  Gabrielle : Love isn't enough. Where would we live? Here? With your roommates? The only decoration in the bathroom is a bong!

  John Rowland : We could get our own place.

  Gabrielle : How? You're barely making minimum wage!

  John Rowland : Okay, sure. We'd be poor at first, but we'd be happy.

  Gabrielle : I've tried poor, but happy. Guess what? Wasn't that happy!
