    • Kitty Foyle: What's Strega?

      Wyn Strafford: Oh, it's an Italian liqueur. It has a picture of a witch on the bottle. They say that if two people drink it together, they'll never drink it apart.

    • Kitty Foyle: Tell me about love.

      Wyn Strafford: Well, first there was a man and just as soon as he had time to learn his way about, there was a woman.

      Kitty Foyle: Was the woman - beautiful?

      Wyn Strafford: Very. She had reddish hair and her nose that went like so and her eyes - her eyes were as blue-green as the sea itself.

      Kitty Foyle: She looked something like me, huh?

      Wyn Strafford: Well, her voice didn't sound so much like music and her eyes didn't trap the starlight one half as cleverly and she wasn't nearly so beautiful.

      Kitty Foyle: What did the man and the woman do?

      Wyn Strafford: Oh, at first, they just hung around. Didn't take any notice of each other at all. Oh, maybe a grunt now and then, but certainly nothing more. They thought of each other as company, or perhaps as friends. And then, one night, a strange thing happened.

      Kitty Foyle: What?

      Wyn Strafford: The man and woman were sitting in front of a fire. Firelight played upon the woman's face and the man for the first time saw how beautiful she was. So, immediately he made love to her.

      Kitty Foyle: How?

      Wyn Strafford: He bent down over her, rubbed her nose with his.

      Kitty Foyle: Didn't the woman object?

      Wyn Strafford: No.

      Kitty Foyle: No?

      Wyn Strafford: She loved him too.

      Kitty Foyle: Why?

      Wyn Strafford: Well..

      Kitty Foyle: Because, he was all that she had ever dreamed of. Tell me some more about the man and the woman. Let me see, where was I? You were here.

      Wyn Strafford: Let me see, where was I?

      Kitty Foyle: You were here.
