- Barbara Beaurevel: Good-bye. Until tomorrow.
- Dr. Mark Lucas: No. I'm taking a boat to South America. Tonight at eight o'clock.
- Barbara Beaurevel: But, how long will you be gone?
- Dr. Mark Lucas: A couple of months. I've got the university to send me.
- Barbara Beaurevel: Why didn't you tell me?
- Dr. Mark Lucas: I wanted to cut it sharp - with a knife.
- Paul Beaurevel: I'm sorry, Dr. Lucas, apparently you don't think very well of me.
- Dr. Mark Lucas: Sure I do! I think you've managed to live a very pleasant, easy life for a man with so little charm, less talent and no honor.
- Barbara Beaurevel: You're a fool, Mark. You're an awful fool.
- Dr. Mark Lucas: Thank you very much, Barbara. It was a very pleasant dance.
- Barbara Beaurevel: You can't leave me on the floor, Mark. It's not polite.
- Dr. Mark Lucas: Don't you remember? I'm a Yankee. No manners.
- Paul Beaurevel: It's a pity you haven't got money, I'd marry you myself. Oh, that's a very interesting idea.
- Paul Beaurevel: Now, seriously, Barbara, you're the most attractive woman I've ever seen. You're an idiot if you don't make something of it.
- Barbara Beaurevel: And no doubt you'll always be there to see that I do.
- Paul Beaurevel: Always, cousin, always.
- Dr. Mark Lucas: Corrine, may I present Dean Cazzley. This is my wife.
- Corinne Lucas: How do you do?
- Dean Cazzley: How nice. You let him work, do you hear?
- Corinne Lucas: As long as he lets me play.
- Barbara Beaurevel: She was...
- Luther Toplady: Yes. Yes, she was. So, if because of what she was, you decide to refuse the inheritance...
- Barbara Beaurevel: No!
- Clay Duchesne: There's something different about you Barbara. I don't know quite how to say it. It's as though there's a secret that warms you.
- Dr. Mark Lucas: You alone?
- Barbara Beaurevel: Isn't everyone.
- Dr. Mark Lucas: Oh, you're a philosopher.
- Barbara Beaurevel: Oh, then you still approve of something about me?
- Dr. Mark Lucas: Beautiful hair. Warm complexion. Exciting figure - if I could see it in those clothes.
- Barbara Beaurevel: Darling, it's not too late.
- Dr. Mark Lucas: You've been using your sex on me. I'd like to know why?
- Barbara Beaurevel: Oh, Mark, what did I ever do to you?
- [kiss]
- Dr. Mark Lucas: That's what you did to me. So, now I warn you. Stay away from me.
- Barbara Beaurevel: I'm afraid that's the wrong way to tell me.
- Barbara Beaurevel: Get out of my room!
- Paul Beaurevel: After the way you behaved last night...
- Barbara Beaurevel: Get out!
- Paul Beaurevel: I don't think maidenly modesty becomes you.
- [Barbara slaps Paul. He smiles]
- Paul Beaurevel: Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe it does become you. Remind me to wake you every morning - cousin, dear.
- Corinne Lucas: Do you still want me?
- Barbara Beaurevel: You have a beautiful figure, you know.
- Corinne Lucas: Yes. I know.
- Barbara Beaurevel: You might just as well show it off.
- Barbara Beaurevel: Then, it's all right, isn't it?
- Dr. Mark Lucas: You mean, you and Corrine and I can live happily together?
