Quotes
-
Gwen Moss : Come in, I've been expecting you / There's a knock on the door and love walks through / And lights a fire and smiles a smile / As if love were going to stay a while / And the fire breathes and weaves its spell / But then love runs out of lies to tell / For love is restless, love's a flirt / Love has places to go and people to hurt / So here's the shovel to smother the flame / Tomorrow you'll barely remember my name / And I'll try to forget you, my dearest one / As a prisoner tries to forget the sun / For life holds no purpose, and love holds no charms / Since I beheld you in another's arms.

Gwen Moss : I'm not married.
Harriet : A sweet girl like you? Why aren't you married?
Gwen Moss : You're not serious... I mean, listen. Um, being married is not necessarily the answer. My parents were married, okay?
Harriet : I just will never understand why a darling girl...
Gwen Moss : Well because, its the end of the 20th century and we've reached this point where people are frightened, they are full of... fright! And besides I was too young to get married for years and I went directly from 'too young' directly to 'why aren't you married, what's wrong with you?' And well, there were those ten minutes in 1992 when I was exactly the right age and weight but I... I forgot to set the alarm clock and I slept right through it.
Harriet : I'm not married either. I suppose, because nobody ever asked me.
Gwen Moss : Well that's the other reason.
