A tribute to American efficiency.
Lord Darlington:
Marital bliss is a terrible burden to place on two people, Tuppy. Sometimes a third person is needed to lighten the load.
Tuppy:
You're so fond of gossip you don't give the truth a chance to put its pants on.
Contessa Lucchino:
It's not the truth that's going around without pants, caro Tuppy.
Contessa Lucchino:
You mustn't take it personally. Mrs. Erlynne is one of those women that attract men like a bee to a flame. Eh?
Meg Windermere:
A moth.
Contessa Lucchino:
Bee to a moth. Mmm.

Undying love is like the ghost in your villa. Everybody talks about it, but try and find one person who has seen it.
Meg Windermere:
How could he?
Contessa Lucchino:
Every man is born truthful and every man dies a liar. Now whatever you do you mustn't make a scene. It's too unpleasant and you waste energy.
Meg Windermere:

Dumby:
Women inspire us to great things.
Cecil:
Then somehow prevent us from doing any of them.
Tuppy:
Men don't trust women. Women don't trust women. No one trusts women. It's what binds the Catholic and the Hindu.
