• Paul Allen : [as the scantily clad Maria walks by Paul's table while going to her dressing room]  Ah, Maria! The unattainable Eve with her apples and snakes.

  Maria : [politely]  It's a pleasure to see you again, Mr. Allen.

  Paul Allen : You have a new admirer, my dear, Mr. Edward Hyde.

  Dr. Henry Jekyll : [as Hyde; obviously attracted to her]  Enchanted! My sincere compliments.

  Maria : You are most kind, Mr. Hyde.

  Paul Allen : Such natural manners. She only uses Christian names in bed.

  [insulted, Maria picks up a drink from the table and throws it in Paul's face] 

• Maria : [in her dressing room]  Your friend talked to me like a common whore.

  Dr. Henry Jekyll : [as Hyde]  In all fairness, he never implied you were common.

  Maria : [she takes off her mask and Hyde is struck by her beauty]  Just how much money did you have in mind, Mr. Hyde?

  Dr. Henry Jekyll : I would not insult so beautiful a woman by offering her anything so trivial.

  Maria : [dismissively]  So thank you for your politeness, but good night.

  Dr. Henry Jekyll : Don't mention it.

  [she walks into her bedroom and Hyde confidently follows her inside] 

  Maria : I have to dress.

  Dr. Henry Jekyll : Don't let me prevent you.

  Maria : But I have an appointment.

  Dr. Henry Jekyll : I'm afraid you'll be late.

  Maria : What could possibly detain me?

  Dr. Henry Jekyll : [confidently]  I intend to.

  [laughs heartily] 

  Maria : [feigning being insulted]  You are impertinent, Mr. Hyde!

  Dr. Henry Jekyll : [coolly]  Yes, that is so.

  Maria : [clearly intrigued]  You have an amusing approach.

  Dr. Henry Jekyll : Merely direct.

  Maria : You are very confident, aren't you?

  Dr. Henry Jekyll : [lighting a cigarillo]  Could a man without confidence approach you?

  Maria : The men who beg get nothing.

  Dr. Henry Jekyll : I do not beg.

  Maria : If a man buys, he pays much but gets very little.

  Dr. Henry Jekyll : I am not buying.

  Maria : [she approaches him]  You do not buy... you do not beg.

  [she takes his cigarillo, puts it in her mouth suggestively, then inhales deeply and blows the smoke in his face] 

  Maria : Is there anywhere a man who simply takes?

  Dr. Henry Jekyll : [taking the cigarillo out of her hand]  I am that man.

  Maria : I thought you were.

  [she puts her arms around his neck and they kiss passionately as he takes her down to her bed and begins to take off her clothes]
