Quotes
-
Harry Orwell : [Arrives home from shopping to find his door locked. He knocks until a young lady opens the door] Are you the lady of the house?
Marilyn Sidwell : What do you want?
Harry Orwell : I'm from George's Market. I got the groceries you ordered.
Marilyn Sidwell : Oh. Well, just leave them there.
Harry Orwell : No, wait a minute. It's $14.23.
Marilyn Sidwell : What?
Harry Orwell : We don't have charge accounts. $14.23?
Marilyn Sidwell : Oh. Well, just a minute.
Harry Orwell : [She lets him in. Harry watches as she goes looking for money in a drawer] Why don't you try the sugar bowl?
Marilyn Sidwell : What?
Harry Orwell : [Points toward the kitchen] Sugar bowl. In the kitchen. Most people keep their grocery money in the sugar bowl.
[Harry points to an upper cabinet]
Marilyn Sidwell : Oh. Yes.
Harry Orwell : [She climbs up on the counter to reach the cabinet and Harry sees that she has blood on the bottom of her foot] How'd you hurt your foot?
Marilyn Sidwell : Uh... I cut it on some rocks. There... it's $15. You can keep the change.
Harry Orwell : Thank you.
[Harry takes the money and puts it and the rest of the cash back into the sugar bowl and puts it back in the cabinet]
Harry Orwell : I guess I better take a look at your foot. There's a first-aid kit in the bathroom.
[She starts walking towards the door to leave]
Harry Orwell : Hey... sit down. Go on... sit down.
Marilyn Sidwell : [She sits on the couch and Harry starts first aid on her foot] I'm sorry.
Harry Orwell : For what?
Marilyn Sidwell : Breaking and entering. I needed a place to stay.
Harry Orwell : It's a sea urchin.
Marilyn Sidwell : What?
Harry Orwell : You stepped on a sea urchin. They have these little spines. They're very poisonous.
Marilyn Sidwell : Will you let me stay here?

Marilyn Sidwell : Harry? Promise me you won't tell anyone where I am. I'll be your best friend.

Marilyn Sidwell : [being led away by an attendant] I hope you're proud of yourself. I don't belong in a mental institution. I'm there only because it suits other people's needs. I'm as sane as you are, Mr. Orwell. Pluto died the same way!
Harry Orwell : [voiceover] Being as sane as I am may not be the highest recommendation in the world. But another of my least favorite things is betraying a trust. I wasn't particularly proud of myself.
