• Simson, the coach driver : One learns not to run around picking every flower by the wayside.

  Sara Lindqvist : You can at least smell them.

  Simson, the coach driver : I just bend over the fragile petals and then move on.

  Sara Lindqvist : Why do you talk so much?

• Sara Lindqvist : You don't seem very experienced, dear Simson.

• Sara Lindqvist : Quiet. He's predicting the future.

  Tubal : Quiet, quiet, quiet. I see a light. Now it's been put out. It's dark. I hear sweet words of love. No, I can't repeat them. My sense of decency forbids me. A young man rides at full gallop. It's beautiful. Sara, my child, before you go celebrate your feast of love, take a few drops of our love potion. Your delight will be multiplied sevenfold. It's a gift from Venus Aphrodite. Tubal is but her humble messenger.

• Sara Lindqvist : What a life you lead, Mr. Simson.

  Simson, the coach driver : Travel, performances, parties, a life of luxury.

  Sara Lindqvist : And you meet beautiful women, of course.

  Simson, the coach driver : Women are drawn to magic, Sara. Especially beautiful, hot-blooded women of instinct. Sometimes we even have to fight them off. I remember a Russian princess with green eyes and a lily-white bosom.

• Simson, the coach driver : Having second thoughts?

  Sara Lindqvist : Second thoughts? I made no promises.

  Simson, the coach driver : You sure seemed eager last night.

  Sara Lindqvist : You trying to embarrass me? Yesterday was yesterday, and today is Sunday.
