• Mary Ann Robinson : Why do you want me to stay?

  Mike : You're my last chance.

  Mary Ann Robinson : I'm what?

  Mike : I said, you're my last chance.

• Mrs. Gates : Mrs. Carter phoned. She wanted to know how you felt. I told her you were a little peaked, that's all. Anybody who calls, I tell 'em you're just a little bit down.

  [raises window blind, looks outside] 

  Mrs. Gates : She said some more of those dirty people had moved in the next block. Honestly, I don't know what's going to happen to this neighborhood!

  Mary Ann Robinson : Everyone is dirty!

  Mrs. Gates : Eat some more! How can you expect to get well? I didn't mean to hurt anybody. Honestly, you can't even go out on the streets alone at night.

  Mary Ann Robinson : [coldly]  Why? What could happen?

• Mike : Why don't you stay here?

  Mary Ann Robinson : I have to go to work tomorrow.

  Mike : How much do you make at the Five and Ten?

  Mary Ann Robinson : Enough for me. Let me go now.

  Mike : Well, I'll pay you whatever you make at the Five and Ten and you can stay here. It won't cost you anything.

  Mary Ann Robinson : [yelling]  Why do you want me to stay here?

  Mike : If it weren't for me you'd be at the bottom of the river!

  [pause] 

  Mike : You can't complain.

• Mary Ann Robinson : What's happened has happened, Mother.

• Mary Ann Robinson : [incredulous that Mike has just proposed to her]  You don't know who I am!

  Mike : [perfectly sincere]  Who are you?

• Mike : You're getting thinner all the time. You look like a ghost.

  Mary Ann Robinson : If I went out sometimes I'd be less pale.

  Mike : Sometimes I think you're hopeless.
