Quotes 

• Sara Farley : Oh, I'll - I'll call the police.

  Thomas Jefferson Tyler : Good! Tell them I'm not your husband. Don't let me go through life with that blot on my record.

• Thomas Jefferson Tyler : You know it could be worse. Suppose we were really married?

  Sara Farley : Uh-uh. My imagination doesn't stretch that far.

• Sara Farley : Don't tell me beneath that rude exterior lurks the soul of a gentleman?

  Thomas Jefferson Tyler : That's not all that lurks there.

• Sara Farley : [to Tom]  I don't want you to get hurt for my sake. Then you'll become warped and cynical like the rest. You're too nice for that.

• Sara Farley : Don't print that article.

  Thomas Jefferson Tyler : What?

  Sara Farley : It'll only make you look foolish.

  Thomas Jefferson Tyler : Me?

  Sara Farley : In the first place, it simply isn't good journalism. I know, Tom. I'm the expert. They started in on me when I was in kindergarten. When I won a prize for deportment, there wasn't a line about it, but it was front page news when I tried to scratch the eyes out of that little beast of a Vandermeer girl. The great reading public isn't interested in normal human beings - they want freaks served up with all the trimmings.

• Sara Farley : Why are you looking at me like that Tom, like you 'd never seen me before?

  Thomas Jefferson Tyler : Oh, I don't know. Maybe it's the whiskey, or the crack on the head I took, or maybe it's just you.

  Sara Farley : [There's a knock at the door]  I guess we're being rescued.

  Thomas Jefferson Tyler : I'm afraid we are.

• Sara Farley : Darling, you know, you look feverish. I really think you shouldn't stay.

  Thomas Jefferson Tyler : Oh, me? I feel like a million dollars... a million do.. heh, heh, heh. That's pretty good, huh? The old bean's working fine.

• Sara Farley : It's the first time anyone ever insulted me by turning down my money.

• Thomas Jefferson Tyler : Why'd you have to slug me.

  Sara Farley : I didn't. You slugged yourself on that tree.

• Sara Farley : Is it true that you've given up your newspaper work.

  Thomas Jefferson Tyler : Yes, dear - I'm going in for pigeon hunting.

• Sara Farley : He's the only man I've ever met who really isn't interested in my money.

• Sara Farley : The great reading public isn't interested in normal human beings. They want freaks, served up with all the trimmings.

• Sara Farley : That lying, sneaking brute - twisting everything I say.
