Jeff Douglas:
Frank, put it on the bill.
Bartender:
The bill, sir, is very high.
Jeff Douglas:
So am I!
[
In a crowded bar]
Tommy Albright:
It's hot in here.
Jeff Douglas:
It's not the heat, it's the humanity.
Meg Brockie:
I'm highly attracted to you. Why, when I look at you I feel wee tadpoles jumping in my spine.
Jeff Douglas:
That's about as repulsive an idea as I've heard in years!
Jeff Douglas:
Can you think of one good reason why I, a strange man, should be interested in proposing to you, a mighty strange woman and at this hour of the day?
Meg Brockie:
Because you're a lad and I'm a lass!
Jeff Douglas:
Well, with that philosophy you must have had a provocative career!
Tommy Albright:
[
miserable] Why do you have to *lose* something, to find out what it *really* means?
Andrew Campbell:
You'll never find peace by hating, lad. It only shuts ye off more from the world. And this town is only a cursed place, if ye make it so. To the rest of us, 'tis a blessed place!
Mr. Lundie:
They were indeed horrible destructive women. I dinna suppose you have such women in your country?
Tommy Albright:
Witches?
Jeff Douglas:
Oh we have 'em. We pronounce it differently.
Jeff Douglas:
...There's nothing a woman hates more than her fiancee's best friend. He knows all the secrets she's going to spend the rest of her life trying to find out.
Mr. Lundie:
It's the hardest thing in the world to give everything. Though it's usually the only way to get everything.
Jeff Douglas:
You're confused, aren't you boy? If you believed as much as you *thought* you believed, you *wouldn't* be confused.
[
Tommy is concerned about Jeff's drinking]
Tommy Albright:
You told me you were going to ease up.
Jeff Douglas:
Yeah I know, but I'm a terrible *liar*.
Mr. Lundie:
Anything is possible when you love someone. Even... *miracles*?
Jeff Douglas:
Well, most of my friends who have inferiority complexes are absolutely right. They're *not* as good as everybody else!
Jeff Douglas:
If they want to disregard two hundred years of human bing-bang, that's their privilege.
Jeff Douglas:
If there's *anything* I hate... it's *you*!
Charlie Chisholm Dalrymple:
And may God bless me this evening as much as I would bless Him if I were He and He were Charles Dalrymple.
