- Peter Edward Wilson: [aside, to audience, about speaker of overheard comment] Author of "Kiss Me, Kill Me, Buy Me, Love Me", I think that's the title. Or possibly it's "Buy Me, Take Me, Cut Me, Burn Me". I don't know, but at any rate you get the idea. It's a romantic novel.
- Howard Mann: And this is Harold Marcus, author of "Stab Me, Stir Me, Stun Me, Want Me".
- Peter Edward Wilson: [to himself] I knew it was something like that.
- Theresa Alice Kozlenko: Come on, Mr. Wilson. You know the venom in your drawings is only a pose.
