It's not hard to find sin in the surburbs. Just look behind the close doors. That's where you'll find your neighbour's cheating on their taxes, and drinking too much Vodka, and stealing their father's magazines. ?Yes, the surburbs are filled with sinners, some of whom occasionally repent.


-We can't do this. It's adultery.
-Luckily we are both adults.
-Stop, I'm married.
-Yes, to a man who's blackmailing you.
-Don't you think making love to your divorce lawyer would be a nifty way to get back at him?
-Oh, Karl. No. No!
-What now?
-If I'm gonna break a commandment, I don't want it to be for a quickie on this couch.
-Who said quickie? I've got 40 minutes before my 10:00. And thou shalt get sweaty.
-I wanna do this. I do. But not here. I need to feel special.
-But you are special.
-You say you've never made love with another woman on this couch?
-Not special woman.
-Ok, I get it. I get it. I want this to be nice for you. I'll find us a hotel.
-Call me later when you set something up.
-Done.
-And just so we're clear, this visit was not billable.
