  Anne Holt : Don't count on it, ducky. I generally get what I want.

• Bill Holt : Got it bad?

  Anne Holt : Head over heals, daffy, delirious, dithery. I even dream about him.

• Anne Holt : Bill, is anything worrying you?

  Bill Holt : Certainly not. Why?

  Anne Holt : We've a bigger bar in my house.

  Bill Holt : But Anne, honey, it's not like you to be sensible.

• Anne Holt : After all these years and you're turning whimsy on me.

  Bill Holt : That's it. Little Peter Pan, that's me.
