- Lippincott: Reuben has never been known to get anything right... horses, women or facts. His incompetence borders on the supernatural.
- Michael Rogers: [his companion heard something - like a snapped twig] What is it?
- Ellie Thomsen: I thought we were being followed.
- Michael Rogers: That's funny. That's what I thought when I came here.
- Miss Townsend: [to Michael] Is she with you?
- [to Ellie]
- Miss Townsend: Get away from this place, girl. Go now before the harm's done.
- [proudly:]
- Miss Townsend: I'm tuned in, you see. I can pick up the signals.
- Michael Rogers: I prefer them small and healthy. The kind that do funny little dances when they think nobody else is looking.
- Lippincott: [making a toast] I have known our Ellie since the day she was born. She was lovely then, she's even lovelier now.
- Reuben: Hear, hear!
