Page 5 of 6
[drunk, to cab driver]

Well, this is where Cinderella gets off! Now you hurry back to the ball before you turn into a pumpkin and six white mice — goodbye!

[hungover]

Awww... this is one of those days that the pages of history teach us are best spent in bed.

[in response to Mike's impromptu proposal]

No, Mike. Thanks but, mm-mm. Nope...Because I don't think Liz would like it. And I'm not sure you would. And I'm even a little doubtful about myself. But I am beholden to you, Mike. I'm most beholden.

I'm not gonna do it, Liz. I'm gonna tell Sidney Kidd very plainly and simply I'm a writer. I'm not a society snoop. I'm gonna tell him just that...Let Kidd fire me! Start writin' short stories again - that's what I should be doin' anyway. I'm gonna tell him just that.

I've made a terrible fool of myself - which isn't unusual. And my fiancee, my fiancee that was, that is, he thinks we'd better call it a day. And I quite agree with him. [repeating what Dexter feeds her] Two years ago, you were invited to a wedding in this house and then I did you out of it by eloping to Maryland...which was very bad manners... But I hope to make it up to you by going beautifully through with it now as originally and most beautifully planned.

It's just that a lot of things I always thought were terribly important I find now are - and the other way around - and, oh what the dickens.
