- The old woman: [talking to someone over the radio] The girl? She just lost her bloomers and now she's eating the cheese.
- [listens]
- The old woman: But of course, the Christmas cheese!
- Lily: I don't mean to be rude, but you're not very graceful. In my books, unicorns are slim and white.
- Unicorn: Ahh, ahh, ahh, ahh. The most beautiful things in the world, are the most useless. Peacocks and lilies for instance.
- The old woman: [speaking into a two-way radio] Her hair? Blond. Stringy. Yes. Looks dirty. Probably never washes it. Eyes, blue. Big blue eyes. I think she's really very stupid, yes. She looks stupid. It's a stupid girl, yes. Her nose has no character. A pug nose. Her mouth is too tiny. Narrow mouth. Legs are all right. Yes. Bosom!
- [laughing]
- The old woman: She has no bosom. No bosom at all.
- Lily: Stop that! You're very rude.
- [first lines]
- Man on Radio: Shall I describe to you the crime and vice that is being committed in the large cities of the world? I don't suppose...
- [fades]
- Man on Radio: ... I want to talk about your sin.
- Unicorn: I saw how you kicked that tree and trampled those innocent flowers to death, and you dare say you're not mean?
- Lily: You should practice what you preach! You're eating the flowers.
- Unicorn: Suppose we change the subject?
- Lily: Dream of fire endless. Promise. Our hearts, one to wish. Let's fall. Death. Nay, we name it evermore. Beautiful delusion. Sweet awaken desire. Never waking. Never fearing. Nameless death. Each to each. Belonging. With love alone, our life source.
- The old woman: I'm hungry. I'm hungry.
- Lily: Just a minute, please. Just a minute.
- [prepares to breast feed the old woman]
- Lily: I'm afraid I don't have much milk.
- [the old woman suckles her breast]
- The old woman: [speaking into a two-way radio] What? They've taken the city? A wooden horse, my God. Priam? Priam's dead, you say. What about Helen? Hello? Hello!
- Unicorn: I mean what I mean.
- Lily: How could the endlessly living perish? Yearning for eternal blindness. Where forever love and rapture await?
- The old woman: Heart on heart.
- Lily: Mouth on mouth. All is illusion.
- The old woman: Don't! Don't! There's nothing to see over there. Oh, no. Please don't go near the window. It is unsafe!
- [speaking into a two-way radio]
- The old woman: She's looking out. The silly little bitch! Dammit! I told you this would happen. Dammit! She is a conniving little slut and I always thought it.
- The old woman: [speaking into a two-way radio] She has a very vivid imagination. You know, she hears things. Grenades. Machine guns... She thinks there's a war going on. And that's not all. A little while ago, she - she thought she saw a unicorn! Yes. I tell you: u-ni-corn. Of course it doesn't exist. Anyway, it's a very stupid animal.
- Lily: You know, the old lady upstairs, she didn't want me to see you.
- Unicorn: Oh Lord, you mean that ba-bad bully biddy on the wireless upstairs? Don't pay any attention to her. She's not even real.
- Lily: You know, the old lady upstairs, she didn't want me to see you.
- Unicorn: Oh, Lord. You mean that babbling biddy on the wireless upstairs? Don't pay any attention to her. She's not even real.
- Lily: What do you mean she's not real? I touched her. I spoke to her. I even saw her die!
- Unicorn: I mean what I mean. And, my little one, I could give you some precious information concerning that old hag. Unbearable manners. It wasn't like this before. That old lunatic drives me batty. I'm leaving right away... and I won't be back for another 154 years.
- Lily: Hey! Come back! I like talking to you. Nobody talks to me here. Hey!
- [Calls after the Unicorn, but he walks off]
