Dialogue

 * Marnie Edgar: You don't love me. I'm just something you've caught! You think I'm some sort of animal you've trapped!
 * Mark Rutland: That's right - you are. And I've caught something really wild this time, haven't I? I've tracked you and caught you and by God I'm going to keep you.


 * Mark Rutland: I think I'll go on calling you Marnie: pet name. Doesn't really matter; you can call yourself "Minnie Q. Mouse" on a marriage license.
 * Marnie Edgar: You know who I am: I'm "Minnie Q. Thief"!


 * Mark Rutland: Well why didn't you jump over the side?
 * Marnie Edgar: The idea was to kill myself, not feed the damn fish.


 * Lil Mainwaring: How do you take your tea, Miss Taylor?
 * Marnie Edgar: Usually with a cup of hot water and a tea bag.


 * Marnie Edgar: I don't believe in luck.
 * Mark Rutland: What do you believe in?
 * Marnie Edgar: Nothing.


 * Marnie Edgar: Can't you understand? Isn't it plain enough? I cannot bear to be handled.
 * Mark Rutland: By anybody? Or just me?
 * Marnie Edgar: You... Men!
 * Mark Rutland: Really? You didn't seem to mind at my office that day, or at the stables. And all this last week I've handled you.


 * Bernice Edgar: Oh, Marnie. You shouldn't spend all your money on me like you do.
 * Marnie Edgar: But that's what money's for: to spend. Like the Bible says, "Money answereth all things."
