Denise Colby
- Denise Colby: [to Prade] Perhaps we'll meet again?
- David Prade: Well, I sincerely hope so.
- Alan Colby: Why?
- David Prade: Because you interest me. You're quite... refreshingly rude.
- Connie: [Screaming] Ahhhhhhh!
- Harry Stonehouse: [Annoyed] Now what?
- Connie: A spider!
- David Prade: Oh, it's quite harmless... unless you're a male spider. This is a female.
- Connie: You sure have good eyesight!
- David Prade: No, the male is always small, and, in case you're interested, he gets eaten by the female after he has performed his necessary function.
- Baroness de la Vailion: [In French] Ooo lala!
- David Prade: Ah, you know, women tend to do the same thing.
- Baroness de la Vailion: I must say I have never tried it.
- David Prade: [laughs] I mean mentally and psychologically.
- Denise Colby: You've obviously talked to a lot of spiders.
- David Prade: No, but I've talked to men, and, like spiders, many of them enjoy being eaten psychologically.
- Harry Stonehouse: [Alan seems to react negatively to this last remark] You can take me off the list.
- David Prade: Oh, some fight against it. It's a mechanism of this sort, a bid to stave off being eaten by women which operates in certain individuals.
- [Alan again appears to take Prade's remark personally]
- Denise Colby: Is that why you're a bachelor?
- [Everybody laughs]
- Denise Colby: [Referring to the chair lift] will it break down?
- David Prade: Well, it's a mechanical device, you know. They all break down sooner or later when the stresses and strains reach a sufficient pitch of tension.
- [laughs]
