(Rose is going through Jack’s sketchbook…)
Rose: You liked this woman. You used her several times.
Jack: Well. She had beautiful hands, you see?
Rose: I think you must have had a love affair with her.
Jack: No, no, no. Just with her hands. She was a one-legged prostitute. See? She had a good sense of humor though.
