Vivian : [of her marriage] It drowned in still waters.

Cay : Come on. I'm used to this.
Vivian : Well, I'm not!
Cay : Listen, you're just visiting the way I live. I guess it would suit you find to hide in that hotel room until your train leaves.
Vivian : Oh, then let's hire a float. You are so insistent on making everyone think the way you do!
Cay : Oh, yeah. You're making real headway in that department!
Vivian : You have no fear, no confusion, and so self-assured. Are you trying to be some liberal idealist trying to change the world?
Cay : I don't act that way to change the world. I act that way so that the goddamn world won't change me!

Vivian : [while kissing Cay] I don't usually feel this way at 11 o'clock in the morning.

Vivian : My only clear memory is arriving. The rest is a blur. An absolute blur.

Cay : [after Vivian breaks away from a passionate kiss] We don't have to stop.
Vivian : I do.
Cay : Where did you learn to kiss like that?
Vivian : I don't know where that came from. It's back where it belongs, and I don't want to talk about it anymore. Take me back.
Cay : [tries to look through the rain on the windshield] I can't see a thing!
Vivian : I'll take my chances. Just drive.
-
Vivian : [to Cay] I've never felt this way before.
