  Laura Dalton : Dinky?

  Mike Selway : It's not my day for words, is it?

  Laura Dalton : Oh, Mike, it doesn't matter.

  Mike Selway : Well it does, because just for once I'd like to say something that was right.

  Laura Dalton : Why?

  Mike Selway : Because you'd like me to.

• Helen Barker : [about Mike]  He does wine-and-dine you sometimes, doesn't he?

  Laura Dalton : Perhaps that's the answer - vomit your wrinkles away.
