Quotes 

• Larry Darrell : I wanna' put off the wedding for a while. I wanna' put off the job, too. For a while, anyway.

  Isabel Bradley : I don't understand. In your letter all you talked about was coming back and getting married and starting the job.

  Larry Darrell : I lied. I didn't know I was lying. But I guess I was.

  Isabel Bradley : I see.

  Larry Darrell : I don't think I'm the guy you wanna' marry right now. This isn't the old Mr. Sunshine. I'm not happy. I can't make myself happy. I couldn't make you happy. I just wanna' think. I need to think. And I don't have much experience in that field.

  Isabel Bradley : "Think"? Think about what?

  Larry Darrell : I don't know. Me, you, our lives. I'll tell you when I start thinking.

  Isabel Bradley : So you want me and everyone else to just go on and on sitting here, waiting for you to figure out the meaning of life?

  Larry Darrell : Well, sort of, yeah.

  Isabel Bradley : Well, that's just great.

• Isabel Bradley : [speaking of Elliott Templeton, who's had a stroke]  I'm gonna' miss him so much. I wish I'd been a better friend to him.

  Larry Darrell : Like you were to Sophie?

  Isabel Bradley : Is she okay?

  Larry Darrell : When I came back yesterday afternoon, she'd gone.

  Isabel Bradley : What happened to your face?

  Larry Darrell : She's gone for good.

  Isabel Bradley : [in disbelief]  What?

  Larry Darrell : She met up with some old friends, I guess. They got her drinking Zubrowka. One of them slit her throat and dropped her in the Seine.

  Isabel Bradley : Oh, my God!

  Larry Darrell : I don't give a damn if they catch who killed her. What I want to know is how you got her to take the first drink. What'd you do, get her going on Bob and the baby? Did you get her down and keep her there?

• Larry Darrell : I broke this chair once. Because I couldn't spend the rest of my life with you.

  Isabel Bradley : Sooner or later, she would have let you down. I wanted you to see that. I've never stopped thinking about you. I love you. I just wanted you to be happy. I didn't want anyone else to hurt you.

  Larry Darrell : So you killed my fiancée for me?

  Isabel Bradley : Just like you killed my fiancé. I was in love with Larry Darrell, But you had to take him away to go and find the meaning of your goddamned life!

• Elliott Templeton : [Louisa and Isabel have arrived from America and are visiting him in his Parisian mansion]  This is my music room.

  Louisa Bradley (Isabel's mother) : Oh, isn't that lovely?

  Isabel Bradley : Oh, what a beautiful piano!

  Elliott Templeton : Well, it's a spinet by Larande, late 18th century French.

  Louisa Bradley (Isabel's mother) : It must have cost a fortune.

  Elliott Templeton : It did. My poor dear friend, the viscount de Corvence had to part with it at a slight reduction, but then, estates are so draining on one these days, don't you find?

  Isabel Bradley : And are all these things for sale?

  Elliott Templeton : [a bit bemused]  My dear Louisa, this isn't a shop. Oh, I occasionally allow the odd piece to be torn from my grasp.
