The Leech Woman

[Confronting his alcoholic wife]

Dr. Paul Talbot:
It's interesting to watch a "bottle baby" defend her weakness. One thing I can say for you, your approach is always different. Today, it's complete submission. I can't even get a rise out of you. You know, I think I like you better when you're sloppy drunk and violent. That's the real you, and that's the one I like, the one that hates me and gives me a chance to hate back.

Old Malla:
You will never escape me, you are the one in my dreams of blood!

Sally Howard:
Well, I know you advertised for old women, but the one in the office looks like she came right out of "The Mummy's Tomb!"

Dr. Paul Talbot:
[to June] You try to hide what you are in the fumes of whisky.

Dr. Paul Talbot:
Old women always give me the creeps!

[first lines]

Dr. Paul Talbot:
Well, that's a novelty - you're refusing anything with alcohol in it! I'm not used to seeing you sober this time of day.

June Talbot:
Did you say whiskey? [Pouring herself a shot] Here's to you whiskey - guardian of all frustrated wives.

Bertram Garvay:
There's only one trouble with running away - you always meet yourself when you get there.

Old Malla:
What woman lives, who has passed the prime of her life, that would not give her remaining years to reclaim even a few moments of joy and happiness and to know the worship of men?
