• Alice : Here's the story. A woman who's never done a dishonest thing in her life, finds herself falling into a love affair with a musician.

  Nancy Brill : It's a little vague, Alice.

  Alice : Well. Really? You think?

  Nancy Brill : Look, be honest. What do you know about that kind of woman?

  Alice : Well, I...

  Nancy Brill : Who's the woman? Who's the man? Who's the poor husband? Where does it go? What makes it interesting? Is it lurid? Is it sexual? Perverse? Is she a whore? What's the matter? You look pale.

• Nancy Brill : [discussing script ideas]  Let me stop you. We want blood-and-guts stuff, not so subtle.

  Alice : Oh, well. I have another about a young girl who wanted to be a nun.

  Nancy Brill : No nuns. They want sexy, unscrupulous, rich, melodramatic, but no nuns. Listen, anything like that occurs to you, we'll talk. Give me a jingle and one of these weeks we'll go to Le Cirque.
