Lisa Brandt : What do you see when you look at me?
David Clemens : I see a girl who looks like a pearl. I see a pearl of a girl.

Mrs. Clemens : David, you never used to talk to me like that.
David Clemens : What makes you think that I ever really talked to you at all? When people talk, it means they say what they really feel. All you ever do is toss words around.

Lisa Brandt : David, David, here we are. Come away, far, far.
David Clemens : I say -- Lisa, why must we rhyme? It's so hard and it takes so much time.
Lisa Brandt : Funny David, can't you see?

David Clemens : Don't you want to go, Lisa?
Lisa Brandt : [a mental patient who talks in rhymes] No, no. Snow and ice, ice and snow. No! No!
David Clemens : Remember, we looked out the window? There's no snow today.
Lisa Brandt : Foolish talking, foolish squawking. David, stay. We'll play, we'll play.
David Clemens : I can't stay. But I'll walk while we talk.
