• Richard : Did you know Matthew? He likes you.

  Sybil : [as Marsha]  He loves Vanessa.

• Richard J. Loomis : Hey, Sybil Dorsett! Wanna pet my horse? Come on , ma'am now, have no fear or trepidation.

How about you?

• Richard J. Loomis : Yeah, love and hate; peanut butter and jelly. I used to hate my late wife, who I speak of with a certain irony so as to keep total collapse at a distance.
