Maxine Faulk: What..uh..subject do you teach back in that college of yours hunny?
Judith Fellowes: Voice...if that's got anything to do with it.
Maxine Faulk: Well geography is my specialty. Did you know that if it wasn't for the dikes, the plains of Texas would be engulfed by the gulf?

Hannah Jelkes: Nothing human disgusts me, Mr. Shannon, unless it's unkind, violent.

Hannah Jelkes: Oh God, please can't we stop now?

Hannah Jelkes: Who wouldn't like to atone for the sins of themselves, and the world, if it could be done in a hammock with ropes, instead of on a Cross, with nails? On a green hilltop, instead of Golgotha, the Place of the Skulls? Isn't that a comparatively comfortable, almost voluptuous Crucifixion to suffer for the sins of the world, Mr. Shannon?

Judith Fellowes: [Yelling at Shannon] You thought you outwitted me, didn't you, having your paramour here cancel my call.
Maxine Faulk: Miss Fellowes, honey, if paramour means what I think it does you're gambling with your front teeth.
