• Lily : I don't mean to be rude, but you're not very graceful. In my books, unicorns are slim and white.

  Unicorn : Ahh, ahh, ahh, ahh. The most beautiful things in the world, are the most useless. Peacocks and lilies for instance.

• The old woman : [speaking into a two-way radio]  Her hair? Blond. Stringy. Yes. Looks dirty. Probably never washes it. Eyes, blue. Big blue eyes. I think she's really very stupid, yes. She looks stupid. It's a stupid girl, yes. Her nose has no character. A pug nose. Her mouth is too tiny. Narrow mouth. Legs are all right. Yes. Bosom!

  [laughing] 

  The old woman : She has no bosom. No bosom at all.

  Lily : Stop that! You're very rude.

• [last lines] 

  Lily : Just a minute, please.

  [prepares to breast feed the unicorn] 

• Unicorn : I saw how you kicked that tree and trampled those innocent flowers to death, and you dare say you're not mean?

  Lily : You should practice what you preach! You're eating the flowers.

  Unicorn : Suppose we change the subject?

• Lily : Dream of fire endless. Promise. Our hearts, one to wish. Let's fall. Death. Nay, we name it evermore. Beautiful delusion. Sweet awaken desire. Never waking. Never fearing. Nameless death. Each to each. Belonging. With love alone, our life source.

• Lily : I see. Your name's Lily too. Funny, you spell it differently.

• Lily : No, you don't understand. My name is Lily too.

• The old woman : I'm hungry. I'm hungry.

  Lily : Just a minute, please. Just a minute.

  [prepares to breast feed the old woman] 

  Lily : I'm afraid I don't have much milk.

  [the old woman suckles her breast] 

• [repeated line] 

  Lily : Have you seen a unicorn?

• Lily : Did you say something?

  Unicorn : I said you're mean.

  Lily : What do you mean - mean?

  Unicorn : Well, you keep running after me. I find that rather tedious. What is it you want exactly?

  Lily : I don't know, really. But, I'm not mean!

• Lily : How could the endlessly living perish? Yearning for eternal blindness. Where forever love and rapture await?

  The old woman : Heart on heart.

  Lily : Mouth on mouth. All is illusion.

• Lily : Will you please tell me what's going on around here?

  [panties, unnoticed by Lily, drop to the floor] 

  Lily : .

• Lily : You know, the old lady upstairs, she didn't want me to see you.

  Unicorn : Oh Lord, you mean that ba-bad bully biddy on the wireless upstairs? Don't pay any attention to her. She's not even real.

• Lily : You know, the old lady upstairs, she didn't want me to see you.

  Unicorn : Oh, Lord. You mean that babbling biddy on the wireless upstairs? Don't pay any attention to her. She's not even real.

  Lily : What do you mean she's not real? I touched her. I spoke to her. I even saw her die!

  Unicorn : I mean what I mean. And, my little one, I could give you some precious information concerning that old hag. Unbearable manners. It wasn't like this before. That old lunatic drives me batty. I'm leaving right away... and I won't be back for another 154 years.

  Lily : Hey! Come back! I like talking to you. Nobody talks to me here. Hey!

  [Calls after the Unicorn, but he walks off]
