• Claire Mathewson : [they are seated in the back of their car; Claire has had her dress torn by the car door]  Gerald, aren't you going to do anything?

  Gerald Gray : Here?

  Claire Mathewson : No, no. I mean about discharging your chauffeur

  Gerald Gray : Oh, oh let me keep him. I've let you keep your husband

  Claire Mathewson : I haven't kept him

  Gerald Gray : What?

  Claire Mathewson : He left this morning

  Gerald Gray : For good?

  Claire Mathewson : No, no, for the Olympic Games at Los Angeles. He's in them, you know. Haven't you ever heard of Steve Mathewson, the javelin thrower?

  Gerald Gray : Javelin thrower?

  Claire Mathewson : ah ha

  Gerald Gray : Do you mean those long, murderous harpoon things?

  [she nods] 

  Gerald Gray : Claire, the moment you meet a man, right after you've said 'how do you do?' you should add 'my husband throws javelins'.

• Claire Mathewson : So you made her dizzy? In broad daylight.

• Claire Mathewson : Tomorrow, you're taking me away!

  Gerald Gray : Oh, am I? Where?

  Claire Mathewson : Venice!

  Gerald Gray : Venice? Do you think that will be safe?

  Claire Mathewson : I hope not!

  Gerald Gray : Hmmm.

  Claire Mathewson : I don't believe you want to go! And, only this evening, you were complaining that you've known me this long, and nothing had happened!

  Gerald Gray : That was BJ.

  Claire Mathewson : BJ?

  Gerald Gray : Before javelin.
