Quotes23

  • Tolen: [suspicious] Are you a homosexual?
  • Tom: No. Thanks all the same.
  • Colin: Is that it? Cheese, eggs, milk, meat, skirt. Is that it?
  • Tolen: What?
  • Colin: How you do it?
  • Tolen: Skirt is meat.
  • Tolen: Women, not indivduals, just types. Types. Women surrendering, free from responsibility, if pushed. Man must dominate. Dominate. Dominate. Dominate.
  • Tolen: The feeling could be developed with experience and confidence, in certain people, Colin.
  • Colin: Yes.
  • Tolen: To some degree, a man can develop the knack.
  • Colin: A man can develop the knack.
  • Tolen: Food is of the utmost importance. Food is of the essence. One's body needs protein and energy-giving substance. I find that with my, perhaps, unusual sexual demands, my body requires at least twice the normal daily intake of protein.
  • Tolen: How do I acquire the knack, Tolen?
  • Colin: Yes! How, Tolen. How? The knack?
  • Tolen: Well, now, first you must establish contact.
  • Colin: Yes! Contact, Tolen!
  • Tolen: I'm busy, Colin.
  • Colin: Come on, Tolen. You were telling me to establish contact.
  • Tolen: Yes and I'm not referring to touch.
  • Colin: Not to touch.
  • Tolen: Tactile communication. But, of course, touch comes later.
  • Colin: Touch comes later!
  • Tolen: Excuse me. I mean, there's a feeling - between you.
  • Colin: A feeling!
  • Tolen: You're aware of the girl.
  • Colin: You're aware!
  • Tolen: The girl is aware of of you.
  • Colin: She's aware!
  • Tolen: The vibrations between you.
  • Colin: Vibrations!
  • Tolen: That last one had very nice ear lobes.
  • Colin: Ear lobes.
  • Tolen: Rory is well aware that he will profit by the arrangement. He will learn much, Colin, from the women who have been with me.
  • Tolen: A clever man. A gifted man. A man I can respect. He knows a great many things. Rory McBryde was doing things at 13, Colin, that you haven't ever done. Things you don't even know about.
  • Tolen: Tell me, Colin, how many women have you had?
  • Colin: Well, I was late starting.
  • Tolen: Two?
  • Colin: Late!
  • Tolen: Two women in two years. Well, some of us have had more women in two hours.
  • Colin: I was late starting!
  • Tolen: Shall I show you, Colin? Shall I advise you? Women like to be dominated.
  • Tolen: I could tell you what I know intellectually, what my experience has been.
  • Colin: Has been.
  • Tolen: But, beyond that, it's a question of intuition. And intuition is to some degree inborn.
  • Colin: Intuition - is to some degree - inborn.
  • Tolen: I would consider, Colin, letting you come in on this arrangement.
  • Colin: Sharing?
  • Tolen: You would learn a great many things.
  • Colin: What sort of things?
  • Tolen: It would be a privilege for you - a great privilege.
  • Colin: No.
  • Tolen: I feel you deserve to be helped, Colin.
  • Tolen: What's the matter? Is anything wrong? Is there anything the matter with you?
  • Nancy Jones: No, no.
  • Tolen: Why are you so nervous?
  • Nancy Jones: I'm not.
  • Tolen: You look nervous.
  • Nancy Jones: Me? Nervous? Do I?
  • Tolen: Yes.
  • Nancy Jones: Oh.
  • Tolen: Yes.
  • Nancy Jones: Nothing.
  • Tolen: What's the matter?
  • Nancy Jones: It - it's...
  • Tolen: What?
  • Nancy Jones: It's...
  • Tolen: You are nervous, aren't you. Very nervous. Why don't you take your clothes off.
  • Nancy Jones: I don't want to.
  • Tolen: Oh, my dear. No. You - you take it off.
  • Nancy Jones: I don't want to.
  • Tolen: Why don't you want to?
  • Tolen: No ones going to rape you.
  • Nancy Jones: Oh?
  • Tolen: No. Girls don't get raped unless they want it.
  • Nancy Jones: Want it?
  • Tolen: You've got Chinese eyebrows.
  • Nancy Jones: Eh?
  • Tolen: Chinese eyebrows. Very clear arch. Very delicate.
  • Nancy Jones: Have I?
  • Tolen: If you've got a mirror, I'll show you.
  • Tolen: All right, Colin, she's all yours.
  • Colin: What?
  • Tolen: You have a try.
  • Colin: Me?
  • Tolen: Yes.
  • Colin: Has Cardiff got big docks?
  • Nancy Jones: What?
  • Tolen: Has Cardiff got big docks?
  • Nancy Jones: What?
  • Colin: Welsh.
  • Nancy Jones: Welsh?
  • Colin: Aren't you?
  • Nancy Jones: Where did you say the YWCA was?
  • Tolen: I have this fatal knack, you see.
  • Tolen: How sweet you are. Such a sweet face. Such sweetness. Come upstairs. Come. Come up. Come upstairs.
  • Nancy Jones: Oh?
  • Tolen: I've got some records upstairs.
  • Nancy Jones: Oh?
  • Tolen: You'll like Thelonious. He's very deep. Very satisfying.
  • Nancy Jones: Ohhh?
  • Tolen: You'll like his music. I'll play you some of his records upstairs.
