Edward Mayhew
- Florence Ponting: [during foreplay] Say something. No, say something stupid like you used to.
- Edward Mayhew: Miss Ponting, you have a clavicle and a philtrum that all men wish to play on, and a vibrato that all men adore, but you're entirely mine, and I'm so very glad and proud.
- Florence Ponting: In that case, you may kiss my vibrato.
- Florence Ponting: You know I love you.
- Edward Mayhew: Still!
- Florence Ponting: I want to spend my life with you. And you feel the same. We love each other and we can set each other free. Edward, it must be obvious to you by now that I'm...
- Edward Mayhew: Florence, what is it?
- Florence Ponting: That I'm pretty hopeless. No, I'm absolutely hopeless at sex. I'm no good at it. I don't seem to need it like other people, like you do. I might change, but I can't imagine it. If I don't say this now, we'll always be struggling with it. It's going to cause you a lot of unhappiness and me too.
- Edward Mayhew: [about his mother] When he used this horrible phrase, everything changed. Brain-damaged. Suddenly I saw her the way other people did.
- Florence Ponting: That must have been awful. You're always very kind to her. My mother just pretends to be brain-damaged.
