• David : [David has returned to Alex's flat wearing a womans coat]  Good Morning. I'm freezing.

  Alex : David. Where on earth have you been.

  David : [excited]  Alex you wont believe this. I have lost my mind. I woke up at the zoo.

  Alex : The zoo?

  David : [confused]  What did I do last night?

  Alex : You don't remember?

  David : Well I remember seeing you to the door and waving goodbye, and getting locked out of the flat and coming in through the front window, I started to read then I woke up naked at the zoo.

• Alex : I'll be perfectly honest with you David, I'm not in the habit of bringing home stray, young American men.

  David : I should hope not.

  Alex : I find you very attractive - and a little bit sad.

• Alex : Shall I be forced to feed you, David?

• David : It wasn't a lunatic.

  Alex : I beg your pardon.

  David : It was an animal.

  Alex : What?

  David : A wolf.

  Dr. J. S. Hirsch : Did he say wolf?

• Alex : Perhaps you'd like to watch the telly, whilst I take a shower.

  Alex : Yes.

  David : Good.

  Alex : There's a shop on the corner, we'll get some food.

  David : [Inside store at checkout]  This suffs expensive.

  Alex : It's outrageous. My pay can't possibly keep up with inflation.

  David : How do you live?

  Alex : Carefully.

• Alex : Remember, I'm just a working girl. So, don't expect too much.

• Alex : Let's try a little harder, shall we.

• Alex : Will I have to take such drastic action again, David?

• Alex : I'm torn between feeling very sorry for you and finding you terribly attractive.
