Katharina: I see you got your hair cut since last time.
Book: Ah, yes - but for rather PRAGMATIC reasons, you see. I feared my long hair would have been too much of a nuisance in the HOT JUNGLE ...

Katharina: <sits down on a bench in front of a fire> Hmh ... not that it doesn't LOOK GOOD but if that was your concern you probably should have gone ALL THE WAY with it.
Book: <sighs> Yes I guess you are right ... but I chickened out. I was a bit too ATTACHED to it, I'm afraid.

Book: Is it ... alright if I sit with you for a moment?
Katharina: ... yes, go ahead.
Book: are you sure?
Katharina: Yes.
Book: Because I don't want to IMPOSE -
Katharina: By Lhûn, just SIT DOWN already!
Book: Yes, Ma'am.

<Book sits down beside her and takes his glasses off>
Katharina: You ... don't have to be THAT polite, Mister Book ...
Book: I'm sorry, I just want to leave a good first impression. Or a SECOND one, since I screwed up the first one. Sorry about the language.

Book: But I am glad that you think my hair looks good.
Katharina: Did I say that?
Book: I am reasonably sure you DID, Miss Grauch.
Katharina: Well ... I MEANT it. But don't get any ideas.
Book: I wouldn't dare.
