[to her reflection in the theatre dressing-room mirror]
Leonora Braham, Lead Soprano : Yes, I am indeed beautiful. Sometimes I sit and wonder, in my artless Japanese way, why it is that I am so much more attractive than anybody else in the whole world. Can this be vanity? No! Nature is lovely, and rejoices in her loveliness. I am a child of Nature, and take after my mother.

Richard D'Oyly Carte : With reference to your engagement for the opera, I have a great concern about your little weakness.
Leonora Braham, Lead Soprano : Hmm... I'm a little shocked, Mr. Carte. I really do believe that my behavior this last year has been exemplary.
Richard D'Oyly Carte : I'm pleased to say your tendency has improved, but I am concerned about the future.
