Maria de Crevecoeur : Dino, why didn't you ever marry?
Count Dino della Fiaba : For the same reason I never became a drunkard. One likes wine, but, one doesn't keep a bottle at his side, day and night. - I'm sorry. That was rude.
Maria de Crevecoeur : Yes, no woman likes to think of herself as a bad habit.
Count Dino della Fiaba : I think one could become addicted to you.

Count Dino della Fiaba : Jane, if all American girls are like you, I wish I could start all over again and be born in Muncie, Indiana.
Jane Hinkley : I'm glad you weren't.
Count Dino della Fiaba : But, a difference in age does matter.
Jane Hinkley : When I was five, you were already a grown man. But, when I was ten, you weren't much older. And now at nineteen, I've almost caught up to you!
