Quotes 

• Ruby : Men are just begging to be lied to... so I lie. They don't fall in love with me; they never trouble to know me; they just fall in love. And they're cheated by their own imaginations.

  Isaacson : Interesting viewpoint.

  Ruby : It's the truth! If I can have everything I want, money, pleasure, admiration, just by a little harmless lying, I'd be a fool not to lie, wouldn't I?

• Ruby : I don't love you.

  Isaacson : You are incapable of loving anyone but yourself.

• Ruby : I watched him die. I wasn't sorry. That was a year ago. I'm still not sorry.

  Isaacson : I'm not a judge. Not a priest. I can't punish you or relieve your conscience. Why are you telling me all this. I didn't want your confidence.

• Isaacson : I've been a doctor for a long time. I know the ethics of my profession.

  Ruby : And I've been a woman for rather too long a time. And I know the ethics of my profession. Good day.
