Brian : Now, who do you love? Carey Merton or me?
Anne : I've never met Carey Merton...
Brian : Then it must be me.
Anne : I bet he's fascinating.
Brian : I bet he's potty!
Anne : I bet he knows how to make love.
Brian : Meaning, I don't?
Anne : Oh, you're not bad, for an amateur.
Brian : I suppose he's a professional?
Anne : Of the highest rank.
Brian : Hmm. Rank is right!
Anne : You should read some of his books and learn some new ideas.
Brian : 'haven't learnt all the old ones yet.
Anne : Oh, strange. Didn't your granny teach you?
Brian : I scarcely remember.
Anne : Dear me, I thought you were quite old friends. I always think of you as grandma's boy.
Brian : Just the same, you love me.
Anne : Do I?
Brian : You wouldn't promise to marry me, if you didn't.
Anne : Well, marriage is a little old-fashioned, isn't it?
Brian : Is that what Carey Merton thinks?
Anne : He understands.
Brian : What?
Anne : Me. Every woman.
Brian : Now you're talking absolute rot.
Anne : You approve of convention, of course? A man can be free but a woman must be chained. Well, Carey Merton thinks differently. He isn't stuffy.
Brian : He ought to be horse-whipped! And you ought to be spanked.
Anne : Brian!
Brian : I'm sorry, Ann.

Brian : But somehow this old fossil infuriated me.
Anne : If he were old, he couldn't write so beautifully.
Brian : If he were young, he wouldn't write so disgustingly.
Anne : We'll settle this, Brian.
Brian : How?
Anne : We'll call on him and find out.
