Quotes 

• Ian : Why does he suddenly want Lucy to come here?

  Diana : Maybe it was Lucy who wanted to come. Now she's here - stranded with us old fogies

  Ian : Speak for yourself.

  Diana : I'm sure she'd rather be out chasing boys around on the beach somewhere.

  Ian : She seemed rather serious to me.

  Diana : Or, being chased. Nineteen is all about boys.

• Ian : You were nineteen once, I suppose, weren't you?

  Diana : I suppose I must have been.

• Ian : But, I see how you are different from your mother. You have a sort of joy in your eyes.

• Ian : [re upcoming portrait]  I hope you're patient... Because... I fumble along a bit. You'll help?

  Lucy : Help?

  Ian : Let me look at you.

  Lucy : Not all the time, I hope.

• Alex : Well, thank you for being so *fucking* helpful!

  Diana : Miranda, you wouldn't stop.

  Miranda : Me? It wasn't just *me.*

  Ian : Or us.

  Alex : Oh, she's *searching* for something. With those long hands she can barely control, and... *curiosity.* Oh, a little bit frightened. It reminds me so much of... me, somehow.
