Tony Carlson : I think we got off on the wrong foot.
Gloria Mundy : Yes, and it seems to be in your mouth.
Tony Carlson : OK, I deserve that. Listen, it's Gloria, right? You're a really nice girl and I'm a nice guy, and you're very pretty with or without cleavage, and what do you say... would you like to take a shower?
Gloria Mundy : I don't pick up strange men.
Tony Carlson : Well, that's your problem.
Gloria Mundy : So why don't you try it?

Gloria Mundy : He told me all about Monica.

[reads from note clipped to Tony's refrigerator]
Gloria Mundy : "Darling, you are all out of milk and cottage cheese. I will pick them up in the morning. Love, Monica."
Tony Carlson : Oh, Monica. She's my cleaning lady. She comes in twice a week and really cleans the decks.
Gloria Mundy : Uh-huh. Trims the sails?
Tony Carlson : Blows the pipes.
Gloria Mundy : Will we be expecting her today at all?
Tony Carlson : No, we won't be seeing her any more. You see, Monica drowned this morning.
Gloria Mundy : Oh, really? Just like that.
Tony Carlson : Yeah. It was really sad but we both saw it coming.

Tony Carlson : I play Detective. You play Lady In Distress.
Gloria Mundy : Hey, wait a minute. It's *my* ass they're after.
Tony Carlson : I'm sorry. You're right. That was a stupid, glib, chauvinist remark and I apologize. It *is* your ass they're after, and it's my job to see to it that... I get there first.

Gloria Mundy : Do you have any binoculars?
Stanley Tibbits : What's that? Binoculars. Are you into that, too? Me, as well. I read about it in Penthouse. Just a second.

Gloria Mundy : Take me home.
Stanley Tibbits : What?
Gloria Mundy : Take me home, please.

Gloria Mundy : Which is closer?

Tony Carlson : What do you say to a bottle of wine and a couple of steaks?
Gloria Mundy : Well, you could start by saying, "Hello".

Tony Carlson : Gloria, just sit back and enjoy the fire. I'm pouring you a nice, warm, albino martini. Here you go, drink this, then it's off to bed.
Gloria Mundy : You should have been a doctor.
Tony Carlson : Okay, we'll play whatever you like.

Stella : Suppose that guy attacked you instead of pulling that weird stunt in the theater, huh? What would you have done?
Gloria Mundy : I would have hit him with my umbrella.
Stella : Talk about ancient! Really, honey, you've got to drag yourself into the Seventies! You've got to get some merchandise!

Delia Darrow : You see, Lieutenant, your relentless pursuit forced us to come up with a contingency plan. It is foolproof. If by the end of the first act the Pope has not yet been dispatched, Whitey Jackson will fire from the organ bay. He will also fire if the Pope unexpectedly leaves his seat or if the Police arrive in the auditorium.
Gloria Mundy : But why kill the Pope? He means nothing to you.
Delia Darrow : He is a symbol. A symbol of the vast wealth and corporate power of the world's churches.
Charlie Thorncrest : Like my dear dead brother. Always the good one, hiding behind the skirts of this... sham called "organized religion", whose sole aim is to rob true spirituality of its life and perpetuate an implacable authority.
Delia Darrow : Shut up, Charlie! Don't exert yourself.
Charlie Thorncrest : My brother. Is this a stable or is it a palace for the prince of the church?
[Mr. Hennessy has snuck inside the house, crawling]
Charlie Thorncrest : In the past, people rose up and slaughtered their kings. Tonight's the beginning of a revolution long overdue!
Delia Darrow : Ten years ago, we attempted a peaceful campaign for the taxation of these billion-dollar corporations, but they support the economic system, and so the economic system supported them. We were attacked, laughed at, and finally imprisoned. But it was there in those hell-holes, where the mind is bound and the spirit is shackled, that we realize that the single, most effective way to bring about radical change is the historically proven path of violence.

[last lines; Tony and Gloria embrace]
Tony Carlson : You really took a chance up there.
Gloria Mundy : I know.
Tony Carlson : You all right?
Gloria Mundy : I'm perfect.
Tony Carlson : Whew!
