Quotes 

• Lionel Hardcastle : What is it about this man? I think he's just a silly little twerp who can't even speak English.

  Judith : No, he's very clever, actually. He's good looking, funny, well-off, successful.

  Lionel Hardcastle : Well, if you're going to go for the obvious.

• Lionel Hardcastle : Where are you going tonight?

  Judith : I am eating with a crowd.

  Lionel Hardcastle : Less than a thousand?

  Judith : Seven or nine. It has to be an odd number to include me, you see. Twice divorced, lives with her mother, good sport, and not really a threat.

  Lionel Hardcastle : If that's what the women in the party think, then they don't have eyes.

  Judith : What a nice thing to say.

  Lionel Hardcastle : It's not like me. I must be mellowing.

  Judith : I must be going. Bye, mum!

  Jean : Have a nice time!

  Judith : I must go.

  Lionel Hardcastle : Go on, then. Be a threat.

• [last lines] 

  Jean : Judy. Judy!

  Judith : What?

  Jean : What do you mean you were a threat?

  Judith : Oh, something Lionel said to me.

  Jean : Oh!

  Judith : We were talking about Alistair.

  Jean : Oh, look, Love, about Alistair...

  Judith : You don't have to worry about him any more. I was thinking about him at dinner tonight.

  Jean : While you were being a threat?

  Judith : Mmm-hmm. And I suddenly got him into perspective. He's nice enough, but, well, it's all just glitz really.

  Jean : Oh, good.

  Judith : Whereas Lionel, he made me feel better about myself in two minutes tonight than someone like Alistair could do in two years.

  Jean : The wisdom of the ancients.

  Judith : He's not ancient. I think he's gorgeous.

  [Judith goes upstairs and Jean returns to the sitting room] 

  Lionel : Is everything all right?

  Jean : Everything's fine... Gorgeous.
