LYN: That was last week. What about Kelly?

LYN: Did we give up on Helen?
JOE: Rhymes with Melon. What about Natalie?
LYN: Where did that come from, it wasn't on the list?! I like it. Natalie Scully.
Joe then tries to find something that will rhyme with Natalie but Lyn tells him to stop as it will spoil it.
