Louise Lasser: Mary Hartman

Quotes 

• Martha Shumway : [discussing Cathy]  Ohh, falling in love with that young deaf-mute boy. Now what kind of marriage can she have?

  Mary Hartman : At least they won't argue.

• Sgt. Foley : Are you a little nervous?

  Mary Hartman : No. Why, do I seem a little nervous? No, I'm not, I'm not nervous. Why, because I'm a married woman having a cocktail in a cocktail lounge in the middle of the afternoon with a good looking person?

• [last lines] 

  Sgt. Foley : Mary, let's go up to my place. It's comfortable there, it's quiet, we can talk.

  Mary Hartman : I-I don't know. I'm just not sure I should. You see, I have butter, you know, back there, and it'll melt.

  Sgt. Foley : Waiter!

  [after summoning waiter, turns back to Mary] 

  Sgt. Foley : We can put it in my refrigerator.

  Mary Hartman : Oh, well, I guess it'll be all right then.

  Sgt. Foley : [waiter appears at the table]  The check. And the butter.
