HARRIET:

I’m from Australia. Queensland. Tamborine Mountain.

HARRY:

Ha. That figures.

[Harriet glares at Harry]

HARRIET:

How long have you been a Hare, Harry?

HARRY:

Ten years. You have the most beautiful eyes by the way.

HARRIET:

Thanks. So, how come you lost your faith?

But after ten years in the cult I’ve started to lust after forbidden fruit. Every time we march down the street I have an urge to dive into KFC or Macca’s or Burger King. It’s driving me crazy!

HARRIET:

I know what you mean. I was a vegetarian for twelve years until one Christmas I had a craving for duck. Just like that.

HARRY:

Just like ‘quack’, you mean.
