"I don't want to lose you. I have few friends. Real friends. You're the only person in my life with whom I can be entirely myself. I'm terribly low at the moment. I need you. Let's go on seeing each other. please."
"I think I used to know your father in jersey. He was a doctor, wasn't he? He used to come to our house quite often.

Actually, he was a vet. He used to go to your house to deliver the bitches. The house was full of them.”
“You're everything in the world to me. You know that. I love being with you. I don 't want to lose you. I have few friends. real friends. And you're the only person in my life with whom I can be entirely myself. let's go on seeing each other, please."

I know. that's why England's the best place for me."
"You can strike me, you can swear at me, you can yell the roof off. The fact remains that your acting has gone all to hell. And I'm not going to start rehearsing
"You have a performance for everyone. For the servants, for daddy, for everybody. And I don't think you really exist. Once you told me something. I don' t remember exactly what, but the exact same night you said the same line on the stage. Even the things you say are second hand."
"You're lying to me, Sybil. You're not putting on that cold because you' ve caught it from sir Philip, haven't you? Was it because you snuggled up beside him? Was it because he made a pass at you? Tell me the truth, Sybil.
Now I get it! Now I understand! You're dilly-dallying with sir Philip and young Ben. No wonder you caught a cold. shame on you, Sybil. Which is it to be? The old man or the young boy? Silly question, I suppose. I know which one I'd choose. No, no, no, no, don't you go. Stay exactly where you are. I haven't finished with you. Not remotely. I want to know. Did he make a pass at you or did you make a pass at him? I'm talking about the old man now, not the young boy. my god, this is complicated!
Oh, no, no, don't cry. It'll only make you more miserable! I'll tell you what I think happened. huh? Sir Philip got a little fresh with you, didn't he? And you, you , you, you couldn't resist. It's rather difficult to get fresh when you have a cold. What did he say? "please, please, make an old man happy." Naughty, Sybil, very naughty. Trying to have sir Philip on the side. And I've always found it very uncomfortable on the side. I think we should punish him, don't you? Or you. Perhaps we should punish you. But how? that's the question: how? hmm? I know. we'll tell Ben. Oh, don't pretend you've forgotten him. Ben. Ben! Oh, dear, have I upset you? Never mind, Sybil. Just remember all's fair in war and... war and ... oh, hell, the word escapes me.”
"You're a monster. A wonderful, glorious monster. It was great! You were superb! a real tour de force. Don't change a word. Keep it just like that. you're so naughty."
"You' re under contract. It's clear the play's going to run and run. So you'll have the opportunity to hone your performance. Just think, 8 shows a week for a year, playing opposite Julia Lambert. It'll be an experience. You 'll never forget. Just have a great time, have fun."
"Your only reality is the theatre. Anything else, the outside world, what civilians call the real world, is nothing but fantasy. And I bloody well won't let you forget it.

Rubbish.”
