Uncle Bill
- Uncle Bill: I'll tell you the only right approach to real writing. It's like a hunt. It's a hunt in which a man pits his brains against the forces of ignorance and evil. It's a lifelong and lonely safari. The prey he seeks is a truth worth telling - a faith worth living by - something worth spilling his guts about. He must track it down by himself. I don't know if you'll be one to have the fortitude to stick it, to follow the spoor no matter where it leads, to what pain and suffering, through hell and high water. If you are, God help you. God pity you. And good luck.
- Countess Liz: You are everywhere, aren't you, darling?
- Uncle Bill: It's the only attribute I share with the Almighty.
- Uncle Bill: Fine view.
- Harry Street: It ought to be. Cost a pretty penny. Did you see Liz?
- Uncle Bill: Speaking of a pretty penny?
- Harry Street: No, just speaking of Liz.
- Harry Street: Why the devil haven't you the grace to tell me the truth?
- Uncle Bill: What truth?
- Harry Street: That you think my book stinks. That everything I'm doing stinks.
- Uncle Bill: I came to praise Caesar, not to bury him.
