Richard: You! I hate you! [throws a rock at her narrowly missing her]
Emmeline: You almost hit me!
Richard: Take it back! Take back what you said!
Emmeline: [mockingly] I've seen it all! What happens after you've been doing it a long time?
Richard: Shut up! That isn't fair peeking, I don't peek on you!
Emmeline: That's a lie! You're always staring at my buppies.

View Quote Paddy: What's in them pictures, Richard?

Paddy: Give us a look.
Young Richard: We're you ever married, Paddy?
Paddy: Seven times. Kids in every port from Clao to Macao. Seventeen at the last count, and never set eyes on a single one of 'em. Slant-eyed little devils, black little devils, even a couple of pink ones like you. And all with my eyes.
Young Richard: Paddy, what's subjugation?
Paddy: Something I've been trying to avoid all my life.

View Quote Richard: Em, are you alright? Oh, I've been so worried!

Richard: Oh, of course not. All I could think of was, what would I ever do without my Em? What would I do?

View Quote Richard: There's so many things I don't understand, like why do the fish stop swimming and lie on top of the tide pools after a heavy rain? Why do you hear the waves inside the big shells? Why are all these funny hairs growing on me? I wish a big book with all the answers to every question in the world would drop out of the sky and land in my hands right now. I'd read it till I knew everything.
Emmeline: Oh Richard, you can't know everything. Only God knows everything.
Richard: God. He can't find us any better than Santa Claus.

View Quote Richard: What are you looking at?
Emmeline: Your muscles.

Richard: But what? Tell me.
Emmeline: I don't know what's wrong with me when I say the things I say. I just keep having all these strange thoughts.
Richard: What kind of thoughts?
Emmeline: Just funny thoughts about you and me.
Richard: Tell me.
Emmeline: I couldn't. Their just thoughts; they don't mean anything.

View Quote [Richard tries to kiss Emmeline, but she cringes.]
Emmeline: I'm sorry, Richard.
Richard: You didn't want to all yesterday, either. What's the matter, Em, don't you love me anymore?
Emmeline: Yes, I love you more than ever, Richard.
Richard: Then why don't you want to do it?
Emmeline: It just hurts right now, that's all. When it stops hurting we'll do it.
Richard: When is that gonna be? I don't understand, Em. Why does it hurt?
Emmeline: I don't know. I don't know anything. But if you touch my tummy right now, you can feel it.
Richard: Feel what? [puts his hand on her belly] How'd you make your tummy move like that?
Emmeline: I'm not doing it.
Richard: It's not doing it by itself.
Emmeline: Yes it is.
