Table Manners (1977)

Fiona Walker: Ruth

Quotes 

• Ruth : [after long, rambling dialogue by Norman]  Norman, just sit quietly and enjoy your lettuce.

  Norman : I was making small talk.

  Ruth : Yes, well, it's not quite small enough, dear.

  Norman : I can't get it any smaller, or I'll swallow it.
