anne. it isn't just . . (she breaks off, staring up at him for a second.) isn't it funny, you and i? here we’ve been seeing each other every minute for almost a year and a half, and this is the first time we've ever really talked. it a lot to have someone to talk to, don't you think? it you to let off steam.

anne (following him). i can get up an awful lot of steam. you'll have to be careful how you say that.

anne. do you mean it?

peter. i said it, didn’t i?
