• Ray : This is my dog, Shadow. Umm... Shadow's like... well... Shadow's like, dead, you know? But I'm keeping him around so that I can like... watch him reincarnate.

  [points finger at Shadow] 

  Ray : Stay.

• [Richard enters and slams the door] 

  Richard Burton : Did I wake you, darling? Sleeping off this morning's smorgasboard?

  Elizabeth Taylor : Richard, is that you?

  Richard Burton : No, it's Conrad Hilton, it's Micheal Wilding, it's Micheal Todd, it's Eddie Fisher, it's John Warner... of *course* it's me!

• Elizabeth Taylor : So, you *are* drinking again! I'm producing this play, and I told you no drinking before a performance!

  Richard Burton : I'd hardly call what we're doing 'performing', darling, or haven't you read the reviews?

  Elizabeth Taylor : *Fuck* the reviewers!

  Richard Burton : Well, obviously that didn't do any good.
