Scene: The Blind Date At the Cafe (Flashback)
NiKiTa:
Why does everyone have to blame the woman for everything?
"Oh, BAD driver, must be a woman!" or "Women always NAG, NAG, NAG"
or "Aiyah, women are temperamental and hysterical during PMS". Why?

Terminator:
(shrugs)
I don't know. Maybe you all deserve it!
(laughs to himself) Hahahaha!
NiKiTa:
You are EVIL!
Terminator:
I am HONEST.
NiKiTa:
I know. I appreciate your honesty, but seriously... men are so
biased that they have to blame the woman for something.
Terminator:
Well, you've got to admit it... most women drivers are quite bad. My sister is a BAD driver. My mother is a BAD driver. My auntie... she's a BACKSEAT driver! (laughs to himself) hahahahaha!!
Scene: Annie's Kitchen (Present Day)
Annie:
So you're saying he's not romantic?
NiKiTa:
That's not what I said.
Annie:
Yes, you did.
NiKiTa:
Well, I guess romance is different for different people. For
some, romance is like the Titanic story, you know, tragic doomed
lovers... and for others it's sex.
