- Gemma Smith: Loving you is the most awful thing that has ever happened to me.
- Sebastian Dubrok: Is it?
- Gemma Smith: Yes, it is.
- Sebastian Dubrok: Perhaps you're right. Maybe you do deserve a better man.
- Gemma Smith: But I don't want a better man, Sebastian. I just want you.
- Gemma Smith: [Cradling her baby] My little Piccolo, my pupazzetto. I still have you, haven't I? For a while, I have. But in a few years, you'll grow up to be a big, strong, handsome man who makes some woman very unhappy.
- Caryl Dubrok: You've upset my apple cart again, haven't you?
- Sebastian Dubrok: Have I? It must be a poorly balanced apple cart to upset so easily.
- Sebastian Dubrok: Good evening.
- Fenella MacLean: Good evening.
- Sebastian Dubrok: Please don't think me rude, but I couldn't help notice back there on the terrace, I said to myself, I've seen that face somewhere before, possibly Innsbrook, was it?
- Fenella MacLean: I've never been to Innsbrook, sorry.
- Sebastian Dubrok: Oh, Monte Carlo, perhaps?
- Fenella MacLean: Don't you think this talk of seeing me before is a little old-fashioned?
- Sebastian Dubrok: Frankly, yes. Well, would you be more willing to believe me if I admit that I've never seen your face before but, once having seen it, I had to see it again?
- Fenella MacLean: If I say yes, I'd be a bit conceited, don't you think?
- Sebastian Dubrok: No.
- Mr. MacLean: My dear, this schoolgirl visitation gets worse every week. The place is swarming with the little wretches.
- Mrs. MacLean: But it does give the palace a certain atmosphere. You must admit that, Ivor.
- Mr. MacLean: I don't want atmosphere. I want peace.
- Mrs. MacLean: Here, darling. Drink your tea.
- Professor Heinrich: Her parents would have objected to you in any case. They don't like musicians. Musicians are not practical. They don't make money.
- Caryl Dubrok: But Fenella doesn't care about money!
- Professor Heinrich: Rich people are always saying that, but they don't really mean it.
