I suppose that I ought to know your name, now that I'm dancing with you.

VIOLET

(laughing)

That would be expected, I suppose. My name is Violet Thorne. Most everyone calls me Vi, however, even strangers.

DEMPSEY

That's certainly an... intimate... way to begin our conversation, is it not?

VIOLET

I like to consider myself more... progressive.

DEMPSEY

I can drink to that.
