Paul Allen : [as the scantily clad Maria walks by Paul's table while going to her dressing room] Ah, Maria! The unattainable Eve with her apples and snakes.
Maria : [politely] It's a pleasure to see you again, Mr. Allen.
Paul Allen : You have a new admirer, my dear, Mr. Edward Hyde.
Dr. Henry Jekyll : [as Hyde; obviously attracted to her] Enchanted! My sincere compliments.
Maria : You are most kind, Mr. Hyde.
Paul Allen : Such natural manners. She only uses Christian names in bed.
[insulted, Maria picks up a drink from the table and throws it in Paul's face]

Maria : [in her dressing room] Your friend talked to me like a common whore.
Dr. Henry Jekyll : [as Hyde] In all fairness, he never implied you were common.
Maria : [she takes off her mask and Hyde is struck by her beauty] Just how much money did you have in mind, Mr. Hyde?
Dr. Henry Jekyll : I would not insult so beautiful a woman by offering her anything so trivial.
Maria : [dismissively] So thank you for your politeness, but good night.
Dr. Henry Jekyll : Don't mention it.
[she walks into her bedroom and Hyde confidently follows her inside]
Maria : I have to dress.
Dr. Henry Jekyll : Don't let me prevent you.
Maria : But I have an appointment.
Dr. Henry Jekyll : I'm afraid you'll be late.
Maria : What could possibly detain me?
Dr. Henry Jekyll : [confidently] I intend to.
[laughs heartily]
Maria : [feigning being insulted] You are impertinent, Mr. Hyde!
Dr. Henry Jekyll : [coolly] Yes, that is so.
Maria : [clearly intrigued] You have an amusing approach.
Dr. Henry Jekyll : Merely direct.
Maria : You are very confident, aren't you?
Dr. Henry Jekyll : [lighting a cigarillo] Could a man without confidence approach you?
Maria : The men who beg get nothing.
Dr. Henry Jekyll : I do not beg.
Maria : If a man buys, he pays much but gets very little.
Dr. Henry Jekyll : I am not buying.
Maria : [she approaches him] You do not buy... you do not beg.
[she takes his cigarillo, puts it in her mouth suggestively, then inhales deeply and blows the smoke in his face]
Maria : Is there anywhere a man who simply takes?
Dr. Henry Jekyll : [taking the cigarillo out of her hand] I am that man.
Maria : I thought you were.
[she puts her arms around his neck and they kiss passionately as he takes her down to her bed and begins to take off her clothes]
