Meredith Logue
- Meredith: [sheepish] I'm sorry, I wouldn't have made a joke if...
- Tom Ripley: [cuts her off] Don't be sorry. I've never been happier. I feel like I've been handed a new life.
- Meredith: Dickie?
- Tom Ripley: Hello Meredith!
- Meredith: Oh my God! I hardly even recognized you.
- Tom Ripley: Well, you spotted me so you get the reward.
- Meredith: The truth is that if you've had money your entire life, even if you despise it, which we do - agreed? - you're only truly comfortable around other people who have it and despise it.
- Meredith: I know about you and Marge and Mongi and what an unreliable rat you are. Well, Freddie said you were a rat and I thought to myself , "Ah, now I know why he travels under R."
- Tom Ripley: [pretending to be Dickie] I've left Marge, Meredith. And Mongi. So the rat's here in Rome.
- Meredith: Marge, I don't know you, so I've got no right to - Dickie loves you. He's - I think you'll find he's on his way home to you.
- Marge Sherwood: Well, how would we know that?
- Meredith: He told me everything. I was supposed to meet him fifteen minutes ago, so - I'm going to go now, I think. God, unless he meant us to meet? That would be a little cruel, wouldn't it?
- Peter: No, we're meeting another friend. Tom Ripley.
- Marge Sherwood: Do you know Tom Ripley?
- Meredith: No! No. I've heard about him, of course, but, I didn't - meet him. No.
- Meredith: Will you meet me tomorrow? Just to say goodbye properly? You know, in the daylight, so it's not just this.
- Tom Ripley: [pretending to be Dickie] Of course, Meredith. I'm sorry. Of course, I'll meet you.
- Meredith: You should always save pain for daylight.
- Meredith: Oh, God, I've seen you, again. I've thought about you - so much.
- Tom Ripley: [pretending to be Dickie] I've thought about you.
- Meredith: Yeah, well, when I thought about you I was mostly hating you.
- Meredith: I know you're a jazz fiend but do you absolutely hate the Opera? I've been trying to give my tickets away, it's tomorrow, but if you were prepared to be dragged...
- Tom Ripley: [pretending to be Dickie] You could drag me.
