Quotes 

• Mary Hartman : [Mary realizes she went to elementary school with the man who has kidnapped her]  Remember me, Mary Shumway? Mary Shumway?

• Cathy Shumway : You know, isn't it ironic - that if one of us had to get it, it's a miracle it was you.

  Mary Hartman : I know, I must have been born under an unlucky star. You know I have filled out entry blanks for every single drawing in the supermarket for the last twelve years, and the only thing I ever won was a coupon for a small little jar of tomato paste. But they were out of tomato paste, and by the time they got more in, my coupon had expired. And now I have venereal disease.

• Librarian : Do you know what aspects of venereal disease she wants books on?

  Mary Hartman : Um, I think mostly on the disease itself. And how not to die from it.

  Librarian : Perhaps it would be better if your friend came in herself.

  Mary Hartman : She can't.

  Librarian : Why?

  Mary Hartman : She's in traction.

• Mary Hartman : Everybody means everybody. And that means you.
