S: Yes, do. You're such a paragon¹ of honourable² behaviour, Christopher. You're the cruellest man I know.

--: At times like this, one realises no-one has ever, ever captured grief like Michelangelo in his Pieta.

Mac: Unhappily, she looks like Stravinsky and he like Isadora!

C: Miss Wannop.

V: Mr Tietjens.

Mac: Tietjens!

C: Oh, hello, Vinnie. I forgot it was a Friday. I had something to tell you.

Mac: People will be leaving soon.

C: Then I'll talk to Miss Wannop, meanwhile. Though she's not pleased to see me.

Mac: The war has turned her against men as a sex! First, you must greet Edith.

C: Is everything all right now? 

Mac: The bishop³ turned out to be a Christian⁴. He knew Duchemin was a dangerous lunatic!

C: Mm.

--: Is your abortionist here? I'd like to kiss her.
