Eugenie Rose Chaney: [Part 1 of 2 of the complete train dialog. Marco and Rosie have just met on the train and he is so discombobulated he can't even light his cigarette. She lights a cigarette for him and offers it to him. Pay close attention to the odd wording - as if it is in some kind of code] Maryland is a beautiful state.
Marco: This is Delaware.
Eugenie Rose Chaney: I know, I was one of the original Chinese workmen who laid the track on this straight. But, em... nonetheless, Maryland is a beautiful state. So is Ohio for that matter.
Marco: I guess so, Columbus is a tremendous football town. You in the railroad business?
Eugenie Rose Chaney: Not anymore. However if you will permit me to point out, when you ask that question, you really should say: Are you in the railroad line? Where's your home?
Marco: I'm in the Army. I'm a Major. I've been in the Army most of my life, we move a good deal. I was born in New Hampshire.
Eugenie Rose Chaney: I went to a girl's camp once on Lake Francis.
Marco: That's pretty far north. What's your name?
Eugenie Rose Chaney: Eugenie.
Marco: Pardon?
Eugenie Rose Chaney: No kidding, I really meant it. Crazy French pronunciation and all.
Marco: It's pretty.
Eugenie Rose Chaney: Thank you.
Marco: I guess your friends call you Jenny.
Eugenie Rose Chaney: Not yet they haven't, for which I am deeply grateful... but you may call me Jenny.
Marco: What do your friends call you?
Eugenie Rose Chaney: Rosie.
Marco: Why?
Eugenie Rose Chaney: My full name is Eugenie Rose. Of the two names I've always favored Rosie, 'cause it smells of brown soap and beer. Eugenie is somehow more fragile.
Marco: Still, when I asked you what your name was, you said it was Eugenie.
Eugenie Rose Chaney: Quite possible I was feeling more or less fragile at that instant.
Marco: I could never figure out what that phrase meant, "more or less." Are you Arabic?
Eugenie Rose Chaney: No
