• Grindl : They say in my country that the centipede has a thousand legs but he cannot tapdance.

  Candy Christian : I don't quite see the connection.

  Grindl : Well, it loses a little something in translation.

• Grindl : [Candy lies before Grindl]  There is a place where the immutable self resides. We must search. Now, could it be here?

  [places hands on Candy's head] 

  Grindl : No, I do not think so. Perhaps it is here.

  [squeezes Candy's right breast] 

  Candy Christian : [surprised]  m-m-m-m-m-mmm.

  Grindl : No, wrong again

  [squeezes Candy's left breast] 

  Candy Christian : Mmmm-m-ah.

  Grindl : No. Or here.

  [grabs Candy's crotch] 

  Candy Christian : [sharp intake of breath]  No. I think, I mean it seems to me couldn't be there

  Grindl : I think it is. So soon, we found it so soon! It must be a sign!

• Grindl : Do not put your material shoes under holy water!

  Candy Christian : What shall I do with them?

  Grindl : Throw them into the material world!

  Grindl : Gosh isn't the half of it.

• Grindl : What is your name?

  Candy Christian : Candy.

  Grindl : Candy. How do you spell that?

  Candy Christian : C-A-N-D-Y

  Grindl : Are you telling me the truth? Be careful.

  Candy Christian : Well of course I am. My name is...

  Grindl : Wait, wait! Do not say it again; it is a holy name. It is one of the unspoken.

  Candy Christian : I don't understand.

  Grindl : Listen. C-A-N-D-Y. Five letters, five the magic number. Five, the holy pentagram. The first letter of your name is C.

  [he holds his hand up in a "C" shape] 

  Grindl : C, the sign of the eagle talon. The immutable symbol of masculine force. The last letter of your name, Y. The sign of the yunni, the all pervading female. And the middle is A-N-D. C and Y. Now do you understand?
