The V.I.P.s
1963
Paul Andros: Pay no attention. Drunks cry very easily. It's only the whiskey.
Frances Andros: I know it is foolishly sentimental to want to sit next to the man that you are eloping with.
Frances Andros: For most of those thirteen years I've loved him. But I don't know him.
Marc Champselle: You? Why should you be scared of him? Frances Andros: As a child I was scared of the dark.
Max Buda: (they are playing cards, watched by a reporter) Not that one. *That* one! Gloria Gritti: How do you know what is in my hand? Max Buda: Because I know what is in your head. Gloria Gritti: So, I have nothing in my head. Max Buda: (to the reporter) Don't quote that.
The Duchess of Brighton: (waiting for the plane to take off) I have two enormous pills to steady me down and the two pep-pills I took this morning - the pep-up pills. I'm flying already!
Frances Andros: You so much want looking after. And I so much want to look after you.
Frances Andros: That is what I love you for. That I can make fun of you.
Frances Andros: I love you for what you are. Not what you think you are.
Marc Champselle: "No" is not a word that I recognise. Frances Andros: You've recognised it for the past three months.
