The Mistakes Madeline Made

WILSON

I wanted to know if you wanted to have a coffee with me—

EDNA

I don't shower, Wilson.

WILSON

Well. Turn on the water.

EDNA

I can't, I can't just turn on the water. I don't shower.

WILSON

Oh. Well, I'd like to see you. Um. If not for coffee maybe we could go swimming.
