Sloane Howland : Well?
Dr. Dean Kahanna : You know why I'm here. I tried to stay away Sloane, but I couldn't. Look, I hit you and I'm sorry. It's been hurting ever since.
Sloane Howland : Does this mean you're ready to try, how did you put it, sleeping three in a bed?
Dr. Dean Kahanna : I'm ready to sleep two in my bed.
[he kisses her]
King Howland : [entering and ripping Dean away from Sloane] What do you think you're doing?
Dr. Dean Kahanna : I'm telling Sloane I'm going to marry her.
King Howland : I've about had a gut full of you Kahannas!
Dr. Dean Kahanna : And I've had a gut full of you, Howland. I'm not going to let you ruin Sloane's life. Even if you haven't got a woman of your own anymore, get out of my bed and stay out.

Dr. Dean Kahanna : My brother knows you were born to the purple, but he doesn't know how much you like to wear it.
Sloane Howland : Well that's a switch isn't it? What you really mean is will I do right by Paul.
Dr. Dean Kahanna : Exactly. Will you run him like your brother runs everything? Will you be his wife or will he be just your husband?
Sloane Howland : What cave do you live in? How is it any different for me to be just his wife or for him to be just my husband?
Dr. Dean Kahanna : If someone is wearing the shoes it had better be the man.
Sloane Howland : Ha!
Dr. Dean Kahanna : Don't forget Sloane, I grew up with you too, and I took notes. Remember that summer when you were fifteen, up by the waterfall? Do you remember what you did? You took off your clothes and dove in.
Sloane Howland : I remember. I said, "Come on in Deano, come on in." And why didn't you? Were you too shocked? I bet you'd be shocked right now.
Dr. Dean Kahanna : I wasn't shocked Sloane. I wanted to.
Dr. Dean Kahanna : [caught off guard] You know what I would have done if you had? I would have scratched your eyes out and said, "I hate you Dean Kahana, I hate you."
Dr. Dean Kahanna : Sure Sloane. I hate you too.
Sloane Howland : Oh, Deano. I don't know why, but you bring out the spitting witch in me. One of us must be an awful person.
Dr. Dean Kahanna : Both of us. I bring out the spitting witch, but it has to be there to come out.
Sloane Howland : And that's with just one pair of shoes.

Dr. Dean Kahanna : All right Sloane, I know how you feel.
Sloane Howland : [sobs drunkenly] Feel? That's just it, I don't feel. Anything. Paul must of loved me and I felt was a blank. I don't know how to love.

Sloane Howland : [waking up] Dean. Dean!
Dr. Dean Kahanna : Hey, bad dream? You know, you've been pretty free with my name tonight. Once drunk, once in a nightmare.
-
Sloane Howland : Wherever I am, how did you get here?
Dr. Dean Kahanna : This time you sent for me?
Sloane Howland : Did I?
Dr. Dean Kahanna : Loud and clear.
Sloane Howland : Did I say why?
Dr. Dean Kahanna : Any woman who asks for a man and doesn't know she's asked for him doesn't have to tell me why. I know.
-
Sloane Howland : I hate the word love.
-
Dr. Dean Kahanna : What do you know about Paul?
Sloane Howland : What do I know? I grew up with him! The King asks me what do I know about marriage, you ask me what do I know about Paul. What do I have to know?
Sloane Howland : [as he stares at her] All right, Dean. Paul is no genius and he'll never set the world on fire like you might some day, but he sets me on fire!
