- [discussing their parents' divorce]
- Yvette: I think she left because nothing ever happens, only silly things. Of course, it's all sex really.
- Lucille: I suppose it is.
- Yvette: But it always seems to happen to other people.
- Lucille: Sex?
- Yvette: Yes, like Mother leaving us, and everything. Always other people.
- Lucille: I don't think I've got any sex.
- Yvette: That's just it! Perhaps neither of us has. Perhaps we haven't got any sex to connect us with men.
- Lucille: Oh, how horrible it sounds: to connect us with men! It's more's the pity that's got to be sex. Be better if we could just be men and women without that sort of thing.
- Yvette: Yes. Nothing ever happens. Only silly things.
