RORY: I can't believe I hit the ball!
RICHARD: Well it was quite impressive.
RORY: It landed in the water.
RICHARD: Yes, but the splash was quite impressive.
RORY: This place is so beautiful. I could see just coming here to think or read. But that probably defeats the purpose of the holes with the flag thing.
RICHARD: There is something rather serene about walking around here.
RORY: Do you come here every week?
RICHARD: No. When I can. I'm often working on the weekends.
RORY: Bummer.
RICHARD: Isn't it.

RORY: Wow.
RICHARD: Yes.
RORY: And as executive vice-president, what do you do?
RICHARD: Well, it's a very big company -- one of the largest in the United States as a matter of fact -- I have a myriad of duties which would bore you greatly to hear about.

RICHARD: I oversee our international division.
RORY: That sounds important.
RICHARD: Well, it rates a parking spot.
RORY: Do you get to travel a lot?
RICHARD: Quite a bit.

RORY: Hundreds of places. Paris, Rome, London, Prague, Istanbul, Fez -- Have you ever been to Fez?
RICHARD: I can't say that I have.
RORY: I want to go to Fez.
RICHARD: I think travelling for a young girl is a very important thing. Your mother never got a chance to travel much.
