Quotes 

• Sarah Watkins : [when asked about her lovelife]  Truthfully, there isn't a man whose face I can remember.

• Sarah Watkins : I don't want to sound like a voice for morality, it makes him angry and you angry. But there are some things...

  Cecil Fox : What things?

  Sarah Watkins : Not gold, perhaps, but still precious. Not negotiable, not even legal tender. Just tender.

  Cecil Fox : Love, for example?

  Sarah Watkins : You can't even say it, you poor man, you make it sound like hate.

• Mrs. Sheridan : Is he still with us Sarah?

  Sarah Watkins : He seems to have a very good pulse, Mrs. Sheridan; but, its terribly fast.

  Mrs. Sheridan : Runnin' lickety-split to Judgment Day, that's why.

• Sarah Watkins : Spare me the modesty of your desires. Piffle! "I like simple things" means usually I can't afford what I want.

• Sarah Watkins : I want a favor from you. No, let's call it an ultimatum.

• Sarah Watkins : Oh, I don't know what I wish. If only he were more stupid or less stupid. If he could only understand that everybody in the world can't want everything and have everything; because, well then, everything would be worthless.

• Sarah Watkins : I would very much like to sit down. Will you promise not to molest me?

  Cecil Fox : Molest? Makes me sound like something in a public park.

• William McFly : I've never known a woman so much like an open city.

  Sarah Watkins : I don't trust you.

  William McFly : Then don't tell me you don't. Never say what you feel - especially to men about men.

• Sarah Watkins : In the last seven months, with Mrs. Sheridan, I've traveled to 31 cities, all beautiful, 31 hotel rooms, 31 hotel restaurants, and I have this to tell them apart. A charm for every city we visited from Paris to Marrakesh.

  William McFly : [inspects the bracelet]  What does the little key open? The Bastille or a miniature chastity belt?

• Sarah Watkins : Mr. Fox?

  Cecil Fox : Whom did you expect? The Fairy Queen?

• Sarah Watkins : You goaded me into it.

  Cecil Fox : Of course I did - and you bounced right back. You are a bouncy little thing. I sensed it the moment I spotted you. How would you like to be my nurse?

  Sarah Watkins : Not very much, thank you.

• Cecil Fox : What if there was one remaining sapphire surrounded by those pear-shaped diamonds and I wanted you to have it. Would you accept it?

  Sarah Watkins : Certainly not.

  Cecil Fox : Do you know how much of what you call 'living' it would pay for? That bed sitting room would be your's in perpetuity. Hundreds of burglar-proof girdles, thousands of watercress sandwiches.

  Sarah Watkins : I loath watercress and I don't wear a girdle.

• Cecil Fox : Have you your notebook ready, student? Are topic is larceny.

  Sarah Watkins : I seem to have accidentally blundered into the wrong classroom.

• Sarah Watkins : You're being very persuasive, but I know damn well what you're really after.

  Cecil Fox : You have the advantage of me there. I don't know *just* what you're after, but, I'm quite sure you are - or will be - after something.

• Sarah Watkins : I would very much like to sit down. Would you promise not to molest me?
