[sobs] Oh Louis! I don't want to marry Lionel!
Louis Mazzini: Why not?

All of your cousins seem to get killed. I really wouldn't be the least surprised if you murdered them all.

(as Louis Mazzini)
Sibella:
Oh, the Italian men are so handsome... but I could never get away from Lionel for a moment.
Sibella: But, I was forgetting... you're Italian.

Joan Greenwood
(as Sibella Holland)
Sibella:
What would you say if she asked you about me?
Louis Mazzini: I'd say that you were the perfect combination of imperfections. I'd say that your nose was just a little too short, your mouth just a little too wide. But yours was a face that a man could see in his dreams for the whole of his life. I'd say that you were vain, selfish, cruel, deceitful. I'd say that you were... Sibella.
Sibella: What a pretty speech.
Louis Mazzini: I mean it.
Sibella: [seductively] Come and say it to me again.

The Hangman:
A difficult client can make things most distressing. Some of them tend to be very hysterical - so inconsiderate.

The Parson:
[Describing his country church] I always say my West window has all the *exuberance* of Chaucer without, happily, any of the concomitant crudities of his period.
