  Nick Allen : Yes, this is the bedroom. Ha-ha-ha.

  Olivia : No, I'm very tired.

  Nick Allen : This is the perfect place to be tired. Be tired in my arms.

  Olivia : I want to go in, Nick.

  Nick Allen : You want to go in because you're afraid I'm going to make love to you. You're quite right. I am.

• Olivia : I'd rather you made love to me without an audience.

  Nick Allen : Audience?

  Olivia : China boy.

  Nick Allen : Oh, don't worry about Chung. He even bathes me.

  Olivia : He isn't going to bathe me!

  Nick Allen : Listen, dear, you wouldn't object to a goldfish in your bathroom, would you? Well, he's really just a goldfish, that's all. Yes, he does everything in this house, except write my books for me. I can't allow that.

  Olivia : Can't see myself with a two-legged goldfish as a maid.
