• Rex Black : Where did he get it?

  Stella Black : I lost it.

  Rex Black : Where?

  Stella Black : In his bed.

• Stella Black : You love it, don't you? I mean, you love taking risks and teasing him because you think he's trying to catch you.

  Rex Black : Shhhhh, please quiet.

  Stella Black : You think you're far too clever for him and anyone else in the world, don't you? And you like that. Much more interesting than just us being together.

  Solicitor : Until you can get it changed.

  Rex Black : Sheep.

  Jim Jerome : Yeah. Like I told you - I've got half a million of 'em in South Australia. You know why I'm going back to them? Because they respect me. Oh - that lousy Sheila...
