Quotes 

  • Alan Squier : The trouble with me, Gabrielle, is I, I belong to a vanishing race. I'm one of the intellectuals.

    Gabrielle Maple : That, that means you've got brains!

    Alan Squier : Hmmm. Yes. Brains without purpose. Noise without sound, shape without substance.

  • Gabrielle Maple : Petrified forest is a lot of dead trees in the desert that have turned to stone. Here's a good specimen.

    Alan Squier : So that was once a tree? Hmmm. Petrified forest, eh? Suitable haven for me. Well, perhaps that's what I'm destined to become, an interesting fossil for future study.

  • Gabrielle Maple : [last lines, quoting the poem "Ballad Written for a Bridegroom" by Francois Villon]  Thus in your field my fruit of harvestry will thrive, for the fruit is like me that I set. God bids me tend it with good husbandry. This is the end for which we twain are met.
