- Maxwell: So, how did you and Leopold meet?
- Ariel: We were both tourists at St. Peter's in Rome.
- Maxwell: You picked her up at the Vatican, Leopold?
- Ariel: My whole life I wanted to see the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel.
- Leopold: I met her in the Basilica before one of the lesser Madonnas. I couldn't resist the impulse to speak with this heavenly creature.
- Andrew: All right, now I know my flying bicycle won't handle that weight, that's all.
- Ariel: We could have been killed!
- Andrew: Not killed. Not killed. Crippled! Here, here. You're shaking.
- Ariel: That lake is cold.
- Andrew: You're shivering. Come on, you're shaking. You know, you're wet.
- Ariel: I know I'm wet!
- Maxwell: Blue Moon Glow.
- Ariel: That's exactly right! I'm amazed! I didn't think they sold it in this country.
- Maxwell: Well, an old love of mine wore it - a ballerina from Spain.
- Ariel: And the scent you're wearing, is that Bay Rum?
- Maxwell: Yes! That's exactly right. From the - straight from the corner drug store. Well, we recognize each other's smells. In the Animal Kingdom, we'd be married.
- Dulcy: I've been to Paris twice; but, I was miserable both times. Probably because I was there with the wrong person.
- Ariel: Oh, that's - that's important. Because, it's such a romantic place. If two people are really in love, a city like Paris becomes a great medium for which to explore their feelings. Don't you think, Leopold?
- Leopold: I like large cities.
- Ariel: Oh, and in the rain! Mmm.
- Andrew: Do you have any idea how much I lusted after you?
- Ariel: Well, why didn't you do something? I wanted you to!
- Andrew: You were this diplomat's daughter, raised by nuns, you know, I was shy! We were not in love. It was pure animal lust!
- Ariel: That's just what I was in the mood for.
- Andrew: I know, I know I missed an opportunity. I regretted it ever since. You know, that's the saddest thing in life, a missed opportunity. That was particularly rotten in this case; because, after you left, a month after you went to Europe, I learned, only then, that you were and had been sleeping with everyone. Everyone!
- Ariel: Not everyone! Well, maybe it was everyone.
- Andrew: I wouldn't have been the first. I would have been the twenty-first. Writers! Bankers! Poets! The entire infield of the Chicago White Sox.
- Ariel: You have to admit, I wasn't one of your shrinking, mousy, inhibited little virgins.
- Andrew: No, that's the understatement of the century.
- Ariel: What did you want me to do? Take charge? You didn't act like you wanted anything.
- Andrew: Well, I was used to slower women!
- Ariel: Sometimes I wonder what would have happened if we'd made love that night. That the moment was so perfect, you know. And people find out things about themselves through lovemaking that they never dreamed of.
- Ariel: If you lusted after me so, why weren't you also in love with me? Can the two feelings really be separate?
- Ariel: Boy, time passes. Before you know it, a little hair falls out, a little noise becomes bothersome. I guess we're just - we change. We become different people.
