"It's not conclusive, Sam."

"Now you're talking like a detective.  And it is."

"Isn't.  It's not something you can count on."

"Is.  It can last for many years."

"Load of old shite."

"So what you're saying is that love is a fallacy and can't be trusted."

"Yeah.  It's not something I can grasp in me own two hands."

"For me it's concrete.  It's real."

"How so?  And don't make me sorry I asked."

"All right, Gene, how's that?  Is a bite real enough for you?"

"That was a lovebite."

"So tell me again that love is really just a fallacy?"
