- Mark Brandon: You know what they say: Egypt is like a man without a woman.
- Ann Barclay Mercedes: Why do they say that?
- Mark Brandon: Hot by day, cold by night.
- Mark Brandon: [Said to Ann Mercedes] I've never seen it fail with self-centered people: they always have some sort of noble excuse for themselves.
- Mark Brandon: We'll make a round of the antique shops. Then we'll have dinner together. I want to explore the possibilities very thoroughly.
- Ann Barclay Mercedes: Wonderful. I'm so anxious to have you talk to my husband.
- Mark Brandon: [Looking crestfallen] Your husband?
- Ann Barclay Mercedes: Yes, he gets in tonight from Alexandria. We arrived there yesterday from England. He had to stay over to look after some business interests.
- Mark Brandon: Might've mentioned your husband before.
- Ann Barclay Mercedes: Hmmm, I might have. But then, perhaps, you wouldn't have come.
- [pause]
- Ann Barclay Mercedes: You see, I have heard of your reputation.
- Mark Brandon: [to Philip Mercedes] May you be the first man in history to give your bride a tomb for a present.
