A scene from Lolita 1962
Quilty

She's a yellow belt. I'm a green belt. That's the way nature made it. What happens is, she throws me all over the place.

Mr. Swine

She throws you all over the place?

Quilty

Yes. What she does, she gets me in a, sort of, thing called a sweeping ankle throw. She sweeps my ankles away from under me. I go down with one helluva bang.

Mr. Swine

Doesn't it hurt?

Quilty

Well, I sort of lay there in pain, but I love it. I really love it. I lay there hovering between consciousness and unconsciousness. It's really the greatest.

In this scene

S Mr. Swine Bill Greene
