Quotes 

• Brian : Now, who do you love? Carey Merton or me?

  Anne : I've never met Carey Merton...

  Brian : Then it must be me.

  Anne : I bet he's fascinating.

  Brian : I bet he's potty!

  Anne : I bet he knows how to make love.

  Brian : Meaning, I don't?

  Anne : Oh, you're not bad, for an amateur.

  Brian : I suppose he's a professional?

  Anne : Of the highest rank.

  Brian : Hmm. Rank is right!

  Anne : You should read some of his books and learn some new ideas.

  Brian : 'haven't learnt all the old ones yet.

  Anne : Oh, strange. Didn't your granny teach you?

  Brian : I scarcely remember.

  Anne : Dear me, I thought you were quite old friends. I always think of you as grandma's boy.

  Brian : Just the same, you love me.

  Anne : Do I?

  Brian : You wouldn't promise to marry me, if you didn't.

  Anne : Well, marriage is a little old-fashioned, isn't it?

  Brian : Is that what Carey Merton thinks?

  Anne : He understands.

  Brian : What?

  Anne : Me. Every woman.

  Brian : Now you're talking absolute rot.

  Anne : You approve of convention, of course? A man can be free but a woman must be chained. Well, Carey Merton thinks differently. He isn't stuffy.

  Brian : He ought to be horse-whipped! And you ought to be spanked.

  Anne : Brian!

  Brian : I'm sorry, Ann.

  [grabbing her book] 

  Brian : But somehow this old fossil infuriated me.

  Anne : If he were old, he couldn't write so beautifully.

  Brian : If he were young, he wouldn't write so disgustingly.

  Anne : We'll settle this, Brian.

  Brian : How?

  Anne : We'll call on him and find out.
