Did you know that you've had the most remarkable effect on her. Did you know that?...she's begun to radiate a certain glow. When you get to know me better, you'll find I'm extremely broad-minded...In fact, John and I, we're both broad-minded.

More from Lolita

Lolita Did you have a good time dancing with Clare Quilty? Charlotte Of course. He's a very erudite gentleman. Lolita Yeah, I know. All the girls are crazy about him, too. Charlotte That's neither here nor there. Lolita You'll blab. Humbert I will never give away any of your secrets. Lolita Well, for that, you get a little reward. [She dangles a fried egg above his open mouth] You can have one little bite. Lolita Well, I guess I won't be seeing you again, huh? Humbert I shall be moving on. I must prepare for my work at Beardsley College in the fall. Lolita Then I guess this is goodbye. Humbert Yes.
