  • Costas Caldes: Boat is boat, fuck is fuck.
  • Shirley Valentine: I mean, most fellas ya know, they've got no idea how to talk to a woman.
  • Costas Caldes: No?
  • Shirley Valentine: No. They feel they have to take over the conversation. I mean, I mean with most fellas if you say something like, like my favorite season's autumn, they go oh, oh, my favorite season's spring and then you've got 10 minutes of them talkin' about why they like spring and you weren't talkin' about spring, you were talkin' about autumn. So what do you do? You talk about what they want to talk about. Or you don't talk at all. Or you wind up talking to yourself.
  • Shirley Valentine: Oh!
  • [to audience]
  • Shirley Valentine: He kissed me stretch marks!
  • [to Costas]
  • Shirley Valentine: You kissed my stretch marks!
  • Costas Caldes: Don't, don't be too stupid to try to hide these lines. They, they are lovely, because they are part of you, and you are lovely, so don't, don't hide, be proud. Sure. These marks show that, that you are alive, that you survive. Don't try to hide these lines. They are the marks of life.
  • [Costas leans over to kiss Shirley's stretch marks]
  • Shirley Valentine: [to audience] Aren't men full of shit?
