Alright two examples is all I really felt up to:

Sally is introduced in the second paragraph. Here is the dialogue without the other descriptive stuff in between:

Chuck: "Come on Jerry. The old particle accelerator is fired up and rarin' to go!" (first line of the book)
Jerry: "I'm fired up and rarin' to go too." (into Sally's ear. he starts kissing her repeatedly on the cheek and wraps his hands around her waist)
Sally: (pushes his face away) "Silly! You know that I like Chuck just as much as I like you." (she walks away with a "saucy" toss of her hair)

---

Later, once they're on the plane but haven't explained to Sally yet what exactly it is they're testing:

*Chuck and Jerry working in the cockpit*

(paraphrase): "Oh, we left that one part we need in the car."

Chuck: "I'll go get it."

He made his way back through the [...] plane [...] when a voice called to him.

"Chuck. Over here."

It was Sally, sitting by a window and beckoning him toward her, the last light of day touching her sweet profile with gold. He went over to her, and she smiled.

"There's something I want to show you," she said, and when he was close, she pulled forward the top of her scoopneck dress. "No bra," she husked.

Even in that dim light the blush that suffused Chuck's fair skin could be seen as a rising tide of scarlet. Yet, despite his shyness, his reflexes were still hard at work.

"Not until you tell me what the new invention is." Sally laughed saucily, slapping aside his questing wrist as she pushed shut the neck of her dress.

"Sally, honey, you know I can't, gee, we have an oath..."

"I have something twice as good as an oath," she murmured, pulling her dress forward again. "See? The invention?"

"It's, well, hard to say." His voice was thick and turgid.

"You'll find a way." She guided his hand. "Here, this will help."


Chuck immediately starts telling her what she wants to know, and that's when they get interrupted by the introduction of lovable Old John.
