Spring Tyler
- William Ashton: Where do you usually sail, Mr Tyler?
- Tommy Tyler: Close to the wind.
- Spring Tyler: Too close, if you ask me.
- Tommy Tyler: Nobody asked you.
- Spring Tyler: Seems to me you're always doing things without thinking, Ashton - wearing pajamas... kissing...
- William Ashton: Hasn't anybody ever kissed you?
- Spring Tyler: You did. Nobody else would dare.
- Spring Tyler: I don't know who you are or where you come from, but if that's all you have to say, then shove off!
- Tommy Tyler: If you did what you were supposed to, I wouldn't have to keep telling you, now would I?
- Spring Tyler: Sure you would... just to keep in practice.
- Spring Tyler: Once you get a hold on something you never let go. It's enough to drive a body wild.
- Tommy Tyler: Well it wouldn't be any long drive for the likes of you.
- William Ashton: Sleeping in pajamas is something people do without even thinking about it. That's all there is to it. People sleep in pajamas.
- Spring Tyler: I don't.
- William Ashton: Isn't anybody going to tell me what's going on?
- Spring Tyler: Not now. You'll find out soon enough.
- William Ashton: That's what I'm afraid of.
- Tommy Tyler: Buried me at sea, did you?
- Spring Tyler: You don't have to look like that, it was a decent funeral.
- [referring to the copy of Les Miserables Ashton is reading]
- William Ashton: You've read it?
- Spring Tyler: Uh-huh, a long time ago. Why do you seem so surprised? I'm not ignorant!
- Spring Tyler: Tommy taught me how to read and write... and how to add and subtract, too. Never did teach me how to multiply and divide. He said that would come naturally.
- Spring Tyler: I didn't care much for learning arithmetic, but Tommy made me. He said education is one of the penalties that go with civilization.
- Spring Tyler: I ain't much thought about it.
- Tommy Tyler: *Haven't*, not *ain't*.
- Spring Tyler: It means the same thing.
- Tommy Tyler: A shoe means the same thing as a boot, but a boot's what you're gonna get in a minute.
- Spring Tyler: You don't catch me painting myself up, do you? Wearing all kinds of hooks and straps and pumping perfume all over me enough to make a pig sick of the smell.
- William Ashton: That's not all there is to being a girl.
- Spring Tyler: Well it's enough to turn *me* against it.
- Tommy Tyler: Think you can get along with Ashton without me for a while?
- Spring Tyler: I'll work at it.
- William Ashton: You still angry with me?
- Spring Tyler: Nope. I get over things fast; especially people and other diseases.
- William Ashton: You don't think much of people, do you?
- Spring Tyler: I don't know many of them. But if the ones I don't know are like the ones I know, then I don't want to know the ones I don't know.
