Myra Hudson Blaine
- Myra Hudson: [to Lester] I haven't even got my lipstick on! A woman has to wear lipstick. I'd feel positively naked without it!
- Lester Blaine: Why do you look at me like that?
- Myra Hudson: [Ambiguously] I was just wondering what I'd done to deserve you.
- Lester Blaine: I like to look at you.
- Myra Hudson: You couldn't possibly at this hour of the morning.
- Lester Blaine: Oh, anyone can look at you in the afternoon.
- Myra Hudson: But I haven't even got my lipstick on! A woman has to wear lipstick. I feel positively naked without it.
- Myra Hudson: Remember what Nietzsche says "Live dangerously!"
- Lester Blaine: You know what happened to Nietzsche?
- Myra Hudson: No, what?
- Lester Blaine: He's dead.
- Lester Blaine: [Stopping short when he sees the drop alongside the steps of the summer house] Whoa...!
- Myra Hudson: What's the matter, Darling?
- Lester Blaine: [Frightened] It's a precipice!
- Myra Hudson: [laughs] I've been running up and down these steps ever since I was twelve.
- Lester Blaine: Don't you ever do it again!
- Myra Hudson: Why not? Remember what Nietzsche said: Live dangerously!
- Lester Blaine: You know what happened to Nietzsche?
- Myra Hudson: What?
- Lester Blaine: He's dead!
- Myra Hudson: [laughs]
- Myra Hudson: Welcome to my home, Lester.
- Lester Blaine: It's quite a cozy home.
- Myra Hudson: Cozy enough to take your coat off?
- Lester Blaine: Delighted.
