Quotes9

  • Sylvia Fleury: Poor chap - he came out here with such high hopes.
  • Colonel Whittingham: Well a chap can't pick the way he'll die, or we'd all do better at it.
  • Maxwell Fleury: If I were a woman, I'd prefer Carson to Euan Templeton.
  • Sylvia Fleury: But, it was Euan all the girls chased after.
  • Sylvia Fleury: Please dear, I'm hot and sticky.
  • Maxwell Fleury: You seem to know a great deal about him.
  • Sylvia Fleury: Well, you know the island. A male, young, white, unmarried, titled, and comparatively rich. Good heavens, what else do you think the girls would talk about? Now, darling, you're not jealous are you?
  • Maxwell Fleury: I could.
  • Sylvia Fleury: Whatever of?
  • Maxwell Fleury: Anybody with all those - virtues. That's the penalty for being so much in love with you.
  • Sylvia Fleury: That's sweet.
  • Sylvia Fleury: Maxwell, stop it, you'll tear my dress.
  • Maxwell Fleury: But, you know, I've never torn a dress of yours.
  • [aggressively tears Sylvia's dress]
  • Sylvia Fleury: Take me home.
  • Maxwell Fleury: Home? Women get bored making love in the same room. A change of scenery helps.
  • [aggressively kisses Sylvia]
  • Sylvia Fleury: Stop it!
  • [he doesn't]
  • Maxwell Fleury: Does he still smoke those cigarettes of his?
  • Sylvia Fleury: What cigarettes?
  • Maxwell Fleury: You remember those fancy gold-tipped ones that he has made up for him in Cairo. Perhaps that's what *I* need to be more successful with my own wife. A special brand of tobacco.
  • Maxwell Fleury: What did you buy?
  • Sylvia Fleury: A bikini. It's really something, isn't it?
  • Hilary Carson: Right. You better rope off the beach, old man, when she wears it.
  • Sylvia Fleury: Is there anyone you suspect, Colonel Whittingham?
  • Colonel Whittingham: Now, Mrs. Fleury, you know policemen, they suspect everybody.
  • Sylvia Fleury: There's some cold lobster in the refrigerator and a bottle of champagne. We could have it upstairs. Wouldn't you like that?
  • Maxwell Fleury: I suppose.
