Orson Welles : What happened to your car?
Sean Merriman : I had trouble with the distributor. I say, aren't you...?
Orson Welles : Uh... yes, I am. I've had trouble with my distributor, too.

Lucy Campbell : [reading the inscription in Merriman's cigarette case] "For P.J.M., from Lucy. Dublin, 1895."
Sean Merriman : Probably a present from an old flame. I think it was one of those love affairs that went wrong. Anyhow, he never married. And there's a quotation. I think it's from the Song of Solomon.
Lucy Campbell : [reads the quotation] "Until the day break, and the shadows flee away."

Lucy Campbell : You *will* come back?
Sean Merriman : Yes... I'd like to, if I may.
-
Lucy Campbell : [admiring cigarette case] It's beautiful, isn't it?
Sean Merriman : Hmm? Oh, that - yes. It was left to me by an uncle, my father's brother. I've always liked to keep it. As a matter of fact, that's why I was interested in that tapestry on the stairs. My uncle went to China. In fact, he died there. That is a memento from the days that he lived in Dublin.

Sean Merriman : May I?
