• Matty : [to Ned]  You aren't too smart, are you? I like that in a man.

  Ned : What else do you like? Lazy? Ugly? Horny? I got 'em all.

  Matty : You don't look lazy.

• Ned : Maybe you shouldn't dress like that.

  Matty : This is a blouse and a skirt. I don't know what you're talking about.

  Ned : You shouldn't wear that body.

• Ned : I need someone to take care of me, someone to rub my tired muscles, smooth out my sheets.

  Matty : Get married.

  Ned : I just need it for tonight.

• Ned : Can I buy you a drink?

  Matty : I told you. I've got a husband.

  Ned : I'll buy him one too.

  Matty : He's out of town.

  Ned : My favorite kind. We'll drink to him.

  Matty : Only comes up on weekends.

  Ned : I'm liking him better all the time.

• Matty : My temperature runs a couple of degrees high, around a hundred. I don't mind. It's the engine or something.

  Ned : Maybe you need a tune up.

  Matty : Don't tell me. You have just the right tool.

• Matty : [spills a cherry slush on her blouse]  Would you get me a paper towel or something? Dip it in some cold water.

  Ned : Right away. I'll even wipe if off for you.

  Matty : You don't want to lick it?

• Ned : You can stand here with me if you want but you'll have to agree not to talk about the heat.

  Matty : I'm a married woman.

  Ned : Meaning what?

  Matty : Meaning I'm not looking for company.

  Ned : Then you should have said I'm a happily married woman.

  Matty : That's my business.

• Matty : What are you doing in Pinehaven?

  Ned : I'm no yokel, I was all the way to Miami once.

• Matty : Ned, this is Mary Ann.

  Mary Ann : We were just meeting. Ned made me feel very welcome.

• Matty : Well, some men, once they get a whiff of it, they trail you like a hound.

• Ned : I like this place; it's got a nice feel.

  Matty : You were on top.

  Ned : So it could use a better mattress. See to it, will you?

  Matty : Yes, sir.

• Ned : [in bed]  You all right?

  Matty : Don't - stop.

• Matty : Most men are little boys.

• Matty : At least it's cool. I'm burning up.

  Ned : I asked you not to talk about the heat.

• Matty : You shouldn't have come. You're going to be disappointed.

• Ned : You have a house.

  Matty : How'd you know that?

  Ned : You look like Pinehaven.

  Matty : How does Pinehaven look?

  Ned : Well tended.

  Matty : I'm well tended, all right. Well tended. What about you?

  Ned : Me? I need tending.

• Ned : Hey, gimme a break here. It takes a little while.

  Matty : It's your fault. I never wanted it like this before...

  Ned : It takes me a good thirty seconds.

  Matty : Are you sure? I just want to be sure.

• Ned : You're not so tough after all, are you?

  Matty : No, I'm weak.

• Ned : You are killing me. You know that? I'm sore.

  Matty : Your sore? You got nerve.

  Ned : It's about to fall off.

  Matty : Is there any more ice? I'm burning up.

• Matty : Does it matter, Ned? Tell me the truth please.

  Ned : The truth? I wish you were going to be loaded. Does it matter? No. No!

• Matty : Edmund's company owns The Breakers.

  Ned : Really?

  Edmund Walker : It's not that simple, really. We have an interest in a few places along the shore. For the land. You know. Someday. Don't try to explain that to her.

  Matty : I'm too dumb. A woman, you know. Well, I'll be right back. Then, maybe we can talk about pantyhose or something interesting.

• Matty : I'm afraid; because, when I think about it, I wish that he'd die. That's really what I want. It's horrible and ugly and It's what I most want.

  Ned : That's where we're at, isn't it?

  Matty : What do you mean?

  Ned : That's what we're both thinking - how good it'd be for us if he were gone. It'd be real sweet for us.

  Matty : No, Ned, please don't talk about it. Talk is dangerous. Sometimes it makes things happen, it makes it real.

• Matty : It's real, then?

  Ned : It's real all right - and if we're not careful, it's gonna be the last real thing we do.

• Matty : [in bed]  No, don't stop.

  Edmund Walker : Are you trying to kill me?

• Matty : I'm greedy, like you said. I wanted us to have it all. I don't blame you for thinking I'm bad. I am. I know it. I'd understand if you cut me off right now. If you never trusted me again, you'd probably be smart.

• Matty : I fired the housekeeper. We can stay together as long as we want. We're all alone now.

• Matty : Mmm. Yes, yes.

  Ned : That's right.

  Matty : Please - do it.
