• Richard Bellamy : [after James has expressed concern over his stepmother's relationship with Paynter]  Oh, she's perfectly safe with him.

  James Bellamy : Sh- Why should you say that?

  Richard Bellamy : Oh, for reasons I could not possibly mention to her.

  James Bellamy : He's not married, is he?

  Richard Bellamy : [Trying to be delicate]  No, he's not the, uh, marrying sort.

  James Bellamy : [Simon slowly realizes his father's meaning]  Oh, you mean... ?

  Richard Bellamy : [Nodding]  Mmmh-hmm.

  James Bellamy : Oh, I see.

  Richard Bellamy : He's devoted to his mother.

  [He rises and walks across the room] 

  Richard Bellamy : A great number of ladies have acted as his hostess at the table over the past ten years, and, I daresay. at least half of them expected to marry him, but I'm quite sure nothing would horrify him more thsn to have a woman permanently in his home or temporarily in his bed.
