Quotes
-
Anthony Dorian : What color are your draperies?
Sally Baker : Pink, to remind myself I'm a woman.
Anthony Dorian : I don't need a reminding.
-
Anthony Dorian : I don't interfere, Max. I enlist in a cause.
Max Pomeroy : That's one of my lines.
Anthony Dorian : They're the best ones around.
Max Pomeroy : Trouble is, they're unsentimental, as my lines always are, so they don't do you justice. No, you need a Dostoevky to describe that soul of yours. One of the few individuals in this age of numbness, who can still regard the suffering of a fellow human being as his own. And unfortunately, I'm only a Max Pomeroy.

Anthony Dorian : One mustn't study a magician too closely. Don't look up his sleeve, and never look under his hat. Just sit back, Mrs. Coogan, and let him do his act.
-
Anthony Dorian : Ladies and gentlemen. What is real, and what is illusion? Who is a prisoner? The man in shackles, or the man who will not let his imagination run free?
-
Joseph Baker : Good Samaritan, that's all?
Anthony Dorian : Isn't that enough?

Nora Coogan : I've read Mr. Pomeroy's columns. Doesn't he have some very unconventional views about religion?
Anthony Dorian : And sex, and marriage, and soccer, and cheese.
-
Anthony Dorian : Who was he?
Nora Coogan : He didn't say. No one ever says. They--they make strange phone calls, they--they die in front of me, they put guns in their face, but they don't say who they are.
