Quotes 

• Linda : Where would I ever find another man like Bob? A man who could discuss Sartre, the greats of literature, sculpture, painting, read poetry aloud, calmly and serenely, while I'm nude?

  MacCormack (segment "Two Against One") : Nude?

  Linda : Nude.

• Linda : A bed! That's what you were thinking of, wasn't it? A bed?

  MacCormack (segment "Two Against One") : Oh, no, no, no. I was thinking of a chest of drawers.

• Linda : [seating on the floor, nude, reading aloud, T.S. Elliot]  "Like a patient etherized upon a table; Let us go, through certain half-deserted streets, the muttering retreats of restless nights in one-night cheap hotels, And sawdust restaurants with oyster shells: Streets that follow like a tedious argument, Of insidious intent, To lead you to an overwhelming question." What a beautiful atmosphere we've created here.

  Cenci (segment "Two Against One") : Perfect!

  Linda : Tired?

  Cenci (segment "Two Against One") : As far as I'm concerned, you can go on till dawn.

  MacCormack (segment "Two Against One") : This - *victory* of the spirit over the flesh!

  Linda : Yes. Yes! Well put. Very, very well put.

  Cenci (segment "Two Against One") : *I* feel like a hermit, high in a tower above the world, beyond sex.

  Linda : That's it. That's it. Oh! That's it! That's it. That's it. Yes, that's it. That's it! That's it! La-la-la-la. It - It - It. Oh, that's it. That's it! La-la-la. That's it. Oh, we're angels!

• Linda : What would you two be willing to do for me?

  MacCormack (segment "Two Against One") : I'll marry you. Aye, I'll get a divorce and marry you.

  Cenci (segment "Two Against One") : Big deal. In your country, you can't get a divorce. If Linda asks me to throw myself out the window - I'll do it.

  Linda : Beautiful. Perfect.

  MacCormack (segment "Two Against One") : Perfect!

  Linda : Jump.

  Cenci (segment "Two Against One") : Morally, I'm already down there, smeared out on the asphalt - like a bat.

• Linda : All right, which one did it? Which one touched me?

  Cenci (segment "Two Against One") : I'm as still as a statue! Ants could even crawl on me!

  MacCormack (segment "Two Against One") : Well, I was fallin' asleep!

  Linda : It's a disgrace! You ought to be ashamed! You have sent a dream up in smoke - destroyed a spiritual relationship. A friendship, reverting to the age of the caveman. Look at you! Look at you - insensitive mummies! And we wonder why there are still wars? - - And in front of two creatures, the likes of you, I don't even have the courage to show myself as God made me. The hypocrisy returns to suffocate us.
