Start:

MAGGIE: Why are you looking at me like that?

BRICK: (whistling softly) Like what, Maggie?

MAGGIE: The way y’ were lookin’ at me just now, befo’ I caught your eye in the mirror and you started t’ whistle! I don’t know how t’ describe it but it froze my blood!--I’ve caught you lookin’ at me like that so often lately. What are you thinkin’ of when you look at me like that?

[... … …]

BRICK: (wryly) Why, thanks, Maggie.

MAGGIE: You’re the only drinkin’ man I know that it never seems t’ put fat on.
