• Sandor Szavost : You know why women used to get married, don't you?

  Alice Harford : Fascinating.

• Alice Harford : We were in a deserted city and our clothes were gone. We were naked and I was terrified and I felt ashamed. Oh, God, and I was angry because I thought it was your fault.

  Alice Harford : Fuck.
