Nora Kernan:
Jessie looks wonderful tonight.

Brandon Bourne:
She has you to thank for her looks, darling.

Nora Kernan:
And you! When a woman gets more beautiful after she's married, it means her man is making her very happy or verry unhappy.

Brandon Bourne:
Whatever it was, it's over! [He walks away and she follows]

Isabel Lorrison:
Maybe it wasn;t love. Maybe it was only chemistry or the right combination or a miracle, but most people drag through their whole lives without finding it. We both know that, don't we,Bran?

Rosa Senta:
[to Brandon] If I were your wife, I'd cut your heart out!

Brandon Bourne:
[Desparately] Jess, can't you understand what this is for me. I'm like a drunk who knows liquor will wreck him. He hates it. He hides from it. He... he tries!

Jessie Bourne:
What are you asking for? Permission?

Isabel Lorrison:
[Entering her apartment] I'll get you a drink.

Brandon Bourne:
I can say what I have to without one.

Isabel Lorrison:
But I'm not sure I can listen without one.

Lt. Jacobi:
[to Brandon] If you lie down with dogs, Brandon, you gt up with fleas.

Brandon Bourne:
You're spoiling what was a beautiful memory, Isobel. I don't remember you as being this cheap.

Isabel Lorrison:
[Seductively] I always was... That's what you like.

Mark Dwyer:
Don't worry Jess. I'm not nineteen. I've heard a rumor that people don't always get what they want, and that happiness isn't the natural state of man.
