Lord Peter Wimsey : May I come into your parlor?
Harriet Vane : Peter! What on earth are you doing here?
Lord Peter Wimsey : [holds up newspaper] "Famous Mystery Author Finds Body on Beach" So, here I am, like a bird that hears the call of its mate.
Harriet Vane : I didn't call you...
Lord Peter Wimsey : I meant the body. But talking of mates, will you marry me?
Harriet Vane : Certainly not.

Harriet Vane : I'm sorry, I know I'm being horribly ungrateful...
Lord Peter Wimsey : Oh, *hell*! Am I never to hear the end of that hateful adjective? I keep telling you, I don't want gratitude! I don't want kindness, I don't want sentimentality! I just want common honesty.
Harriet Vane : But that's all I ever wanted! I don't think it's to be had.
[silence]
Lord Peter Wimsey : Harriet, I do understand. I know you don't ever want to have to depend on another person for your happiness ever again.
Harriet Vane : That's true. That's the truest thing you've ever said.
