• Dita : Poor Paul. He was so kind! How could it happen?

  Joe January : [Cynically]  It happens...

  Dita : But to him? He believed in God!

  Joe January : I can't recite any Psalms for ya', but I know about people who believe in God. Our friend didn't! He put his faith in his father. A man! A human being! That's an easy faith to lose. I know about that, too.

  Dita : But he was a good man. He tried to do good. He dreamed of goodness all his life.

  Joe January : I'm gettin' a little sick of this "Poor Paul," "Kind man," "Full of grace." What does it take to wake you up? He didn't believe in anything but being a big-shot with God as a front. I've seen these do-gooders before - usually doin' the most good for themSELVES! Believing in God is different than drooling over rubies and emeralds.

• Dita : I can cook, I can breathe, I can live!

• Paul Bonnard : [Referring to his watch]  Why did you steal it?

  Dita : I wanted it.

• Dita : You never kissed me like that before.

  Joe January : I always meant to.

• Joe January : If you're through with your Fainting Bertha tricks, we can move on.

  Paul Bonnard : You MUST stop talking to her like that! You will respect her!

  Dita : Him? Respect a woman?

  Joe January : You're a couple of fakes, both of ya'. I'm sick of watching ya' moaning about your souls and pawing each other...

  Paul Bonnard : We are a little world by ourselves in the desert, Joe. Let's be a civilized world!

  Joe January : Well, a couple of men and a dame are a strain on *any* civilization.

• Dita : Paul, you said God forgives somebody who's bad, if they turn good. Doesn't He forgive somebody who's good if they turn bad?
