- General Spence: Wouldn't have minded being a dog myself. Comfortable kennels, free meals, unlimited access to the females of the species, and when you're old, they shoot you. No wheelchairs, no torture, no blasted nurses - one bang and it's over.
- Henry Maurier: Alright - come around tomorrow - I'll give you a cheque,
- Robert Lester: I'll come early, before Emily gets up.
- Henry Maurier: Come whenever you like - you'll always be equally unwelcome.
- Janet Spence: If that's how you feel, I'm surprised you haven't left him.
- Emily Maurier: And see him trotting off with another woman? No thank you!
- Janet Spence: But if it would make him happy?

- Dr. Libbard: Who cares what you want? Who is interested in your beastly little emotions?
- Dr. Libbard: I feel extremely sorry for you sometimes. Being born with a lot of money - it's no joke.

- Dr. Libbard: It's easy to be heroic at times of crisis. What's difficult is to behave even moderately well at ordinary times.
