  Geoffrey Firmin : One cannot live without love.

• Geoffrey Firmin : Knock! Knock!

  Yvonne Firmin : Who's there?

  Geoffrey Firmin : Cat.

  Yvonne Firmin : Cat who?

  Geoffrey Firmin : Catastrophe.

• Geoffrey Firmin : Hey! There it is! We ought to go - to the fiesta!

  Yvonne Firmin : What? Now?

  Geoffrey Firmin : Yes, it will be all gone tomorrow. I mean, we ought to. Unless, of course, you're too fagged?

• Yvonne Firmin : They look so serene.

  Geoffrey Firmin : Our ever present guardian angels.

  Yvonne Firmin : Popocatépetl and his sleeping lady. We should pay them a visit.

  Geoffrey Firmin : Now, that's the spirit. After the bulls, we'll pop up old Popo and look into the hot heart of the volcano.

• Yvonne Firmin : All right, Geoffrey. We can talk about it when you're rested.

  Geoffrey Firmin : When I'm sober, you mean? Surely, you know by this time that I can't get drunk however much I drink and that I'm only drunk in the conventional, incoherent, staggering sense when I haven't had a drink. Surely, you appreciate the fine balance I must strike between the shakes of too little and the abyss of too much?

  Yvonne Firmin : I do appreciate it.

  Geoffrey Firmin : Yes. Quite. Well.

• Yvonne Firmin : Well, I'd like to have a bath. Have your drink.
