AliceI know, the most beautiful girl in the world.
Philip Van der BeshNo, a woman! Warm, charming, gay - and yet sad. There was a deep sadness in her eyes.

Roger DemarestYou certainly brightened up that party. It was dying, until young love came along. Now they've got something to talk about. "Have you heard about Van der Bush's interior decorator? She did over the apartment and seduced her son at no extra charge." I think you've got something there Paula. If you'll go in to do the young master's bedroom, why not do the young master? Makes the work so much more interesting.

Philip Van der BeshI've known lots of girls, but, it just doesn't last. Its my fault, I guess, but some how they're all so young.
Philip Van der BeshOh, I don't know. It must be me. Still, now, take this last girl, she was pretty and exactly the way older people imagine the young to be.
Paula TessierHow do older people imagine the young to be?
Philip Van der BeshOh, you know, they - they try to look wickedly decadent, they drive their little cars at top speed clinching their teeth, they like cigarettes, they moan, they open their eyes in the morning, and she kept telling me that love was no more than the touching of two skins.
Philip Van der BeshHave you ever seen a murder trial. Ah, its wonderful. Its so different in each country and always so exciting in its own way. In America its like a football game! Why did you lie? I didn't. I didn't. We know you had the gun in your hand. I object! Overruled. Answer the question. I didn't. I didn't. You're lying, O'Toole. You threatened to kill him. I didn't. I didn't. You stood on the corner of Howard and Mason. I object! Sustained. Your Honor! Sustained.

Philip Van der BeshNow, in France, it's different. The French have a logic and a sophistry and a true sense of drama. J'accuse! Sorry. I accuse. In the name of the dead, I accuse you of aborting your duty as a human being. I accuse you of letting love go by. Of neglecting your duty to be happy. Of living on evasion and subterfuge and resignation. You should be sentenced to death. You will be sentence to solitude.
Philip Van der BeshOh, you're so very right. I have an amazing fund of useless information that serves me very well at dinner parties. I have thousands of acquaintances without the burden of friendship. I've been in and out of 27 schools and I can say "I love you' in 13 different languages.
Paula TessierOh, sometimes I wish I was one of those sluts you picked up in bars. Not to be trusted or esteemed or admired. Just to be loved!

Paula TessierDon't worry. They'll know soon enough. They'll have such fun. "Have you heard about Paula and her new young man?" "Oh, she must have such vitality, Paula. Such an appetite for life and - young men."

Paula TessierI wish you and I were falling in love again, that's all. We were so sure of the future then.
Night Club SingerIt's in a million songs. You said it just right. It's the most used word in the world and it doesn't mean a thing. It's just a word in a song. Well, here's to little old love.
Philip Van der BeshHere's to little old love. Are you going to sing me another?
Night Club SingerLove is just a word, It doens't mean a thing, It's a fancy way of saying, Two people want to swing, Love is just a word, And when the fun begins, A word we use to cover a multitude of sin...
