  Paul Grenfell : It'll be all right. I know you'll be happy.

  Ellen March : Will I?

• Paul Grenfell : How come you've never married, Miss Banford? You're not bad looking. Your features are good. Nice legs, ankles. But, you never had a man. I think that's really your problem. That's really what you want, isn't it. Isn't that what you need?

• Paul Grenfell : The two of you just run this place all by yourselves?

  Jill Banford : Yes. We only have chickens and even that doesn't seem to be working out.

  Paul Grenfell : Maybe you need a man around the place... make things more efficient.

  Ellen March : It isn't a question of efficiency. We just don't believe in working that hard.

  Paul Grenfell : Why did you start?

  Jill Banford : Oh... um... The good life, independence, and that sort of thing...

  Paul Grenfell : Tell me. Have you ever tried talking to them?

  Jill Banford : To...?

  Paul Grenfell : The chickens. Grandpa did it all the time. He used to go out there and he'd have a real heart-to-heart with them about how they weren't doing well by him, and how he's spending good money for feed. And the next morning there'd be eggs all over the place.

  Jill Banford : Are you serious?

  Paul Grenfell : Honestly. At least a dozen eggs a day. Not only that, you could get them any way you wanted them - easy over, poached, scrambled, sunny-side-up...

• Paul Grenfell : The deer tries to fight back, but, it's no good. Because, your will is stronger and you don't even know the gun is at your shoulder or that you're pulling the trigger. Because, your will carries that bullet into it's heart. Your will.

• Paul Grenfell : You make it sound like bookkeeping. I want her. That's all. And I'm going to take her.

• Jill Banford : If you're going to do it, go ahead and do it!

  Paul Grenfell : Okay.
