- Anthony Dorian: What color are your draperies?
- Sally Baker: Pink, to remind myself I'm a woman.
- Anthony Dorian: I don't need a reminding.
- Anthony Dorian: I don't interfere, Max. I enlist in a cause.
- Max Pomeroy: That's one of my lines.
- Anthony Dorian: They're the best ones around.
- Max Pomeroy: Trouble is, they're unsentimental, as my lines always are, so they don't do you justice. No, you need a Dostoevky to describe that soul of yours. One of the few individuals in this age of numbness, who can still regard the suffering of a fellow human being as his own. And unfortunately, I'm only a Max Pomeroy.
- Anthony Dorian: One mustn't study a magician too closely. Don't look up his sleeve, and never look under his hat. Just sit back, Mrs. Coogan, and let him do his act.
- Anthony Dorian: Ladies and gentlemen. What is real, and what is illusion? Who is a prisoner? The man in shackles, or the man who will not let his imagination run free?
- Joseph Baker: Good Samaritan, that's all?
- Anthony Dorian: Isn't that enough?
- Joseph Baker: Chivalry is dead. Haven't you heard?
- Anthony Dorian: I didn't know that.
- Nora Coogan: I've read Mr. Pomeroy's columns. Doesn't he have some very unconventional views about religion?
- Anthony Dorian: And sex, and marriage, and soccer, and cheese.
- Anthony Dorian: Who was he?
- Nora Coogan: He didn't say. No one ever says. They--they make strange phone calls, they--they die in front of me, they put guns in their face, but they don't say who they are.
