• Vera Kessler : Well, do you - do you want to give me my letters now - or must I pay Cash On Delivery?

  Arnold Hartmann : You needn't quite make me out a blackmailer.

  Vera Kessler : I don't blame you for thinking me a fool after the way I behaved in Italy. But, I'm not altogether an idiot. You asked for a loan, you hinted at a threat. There was really no mistaking what you meant.

• Vera Kessler : How I ever could have become infatuated with you?

  Arnold Hartmann : The fact remains, dear lady, you did. Very much.

  Vera Kessler : In Pesaro, I was a fool! I was mad!

  Arnold Hartmann : Oh, you're not the first neglected wife to lose her head.

  Vera Kessler : But, I didn't! Thank heaven I came to my senses before anything happened between us. I can always be grateful for that, at least.

• Carl Weild : A man called Hartmann, Arnold Hartmann.

  Vera Kessler : Hartmann?

  Carl Weild : Yes. We used to be friends. I haven't seen him for ages. He turned out to be pretty much of a rotter.

• Carl Weild : You certainly have changed a lot lately. You've become kinder - more human, somehow.

  Vera Kessler : I'm trying to be - human.

• Julia Sturm : I knew you'd like it here. Life and color - that's what you need.

  Vera Kessler : It's very gay!

• Vera Kessler : Give me some more wine. Let's drink. Let's be gay! I want to have lots of fun. I want to laugh. It's been so long since I've laughed.

• Judge Richard Kessler : I am your husband and - I love you.

  Vera Kessler : You love me?
