• The old woman : [speaking into a two-way radio]  Her hair? Blond. Stringy. Yes. Looks dirty. Probably never washes it. Eyes, blue. Big blue eyes. I think she's really very stupid, yes. She looks stupid. It's a stupid girl, yes. Her nose has no character. A pug nose. Her mouth is too tiny. Narrow mouth. Legs are all right. Yes. Bosom!

  [laughing] 

  The old woman : She has no bosom. No bosom at all.

  Lily : Stop that! You're very rude.

• The old woman : [talking to someone over the radio]  The girl? She just lost her bloomers and now she's eating the cheese.

  [listens] 

  The old woman : But of course, the Christmas cheese!

• The old woman : I'm hungry. I'm hungry.

  Lily : Just a minute, please. Just a minute.

  [prepares to breast feed the old woman] 

  Lily : I'm afraid I don't have much milk.

  [the old woman suckles her breast] 

• The old woman : [speaking into a two-way radio]  What? They've taken the city? A wooden horse, my God. Priam? Priam's dead, you say. What about Helen? Hello? Hello!

• Lily : How could the endlessly living perish? Yearning for eternal blindness. Where forever love and rapture await?

  The old woman : Heart on heart.

  Lily : Mouth on mouth. All is illusion.

• The old woman : Don't! Don't! There's nothing to see over there. Oh, no. Please don't go near the window. It is unsafe!

  [speaking into a two-way radio] 

  The old woman : She's looking out. The silly little bitch! Dammit! I told you this would happen. Dammit! She is a conniving little slut and I always thought it.

• The old woman : [speaking into a two-way radio]  She has a very vivid imagination. You know, she hears things. Grenades. Machine guns... She thinks there's a war going on. And that's not all. A little while ago, she - she thought she saw a unicorn! Yes. I tell you: u-ni-corn. Of course it doesn't exist. Anyway, it's a very stupid animal.
