Quotes

  Steve Carpenter : One for all, and all for one.

  Norma : I do.

  Steve Carpenter : Where?

  Norma : She's way out - in another world.

  Steve Carpenter : I never liked that word.

  Norma : Is she not the biggest tramp in this whole city?

• Norma : Suppose you do make up your mind to marry me someday? We marry and have children. Do you want her hanging around, babysitting, maybe? Nipping brandy out of her handbag at eight in the morning and telling them the story of Little Red Riding Hood and the Three Lecherous Bears in a hotel room? Do we keep a spare room where she can sleep off her hangovers?

• Norma : What are you trying to do to me?

  Gloria Wandrous : Drive you *wild* with desire!
