- Ralph Merridew: [Yelling from top floor of his exclusive club] Kavanagh!
- [Coming down the stairs to meet him]
- Ralph Merridew: I'm so pleased you could join me.
- James Kavanagh QC: [Somewhat detached] I was intrigued.
- Ralph Merridew: I love this place. It's like a desert island without the flies.
- Peter Foxcott QC: [Talking about an affair in his past] It's a mistake to relight an old fire, isn't it?
- [Impatiently]
- Peter Foxcott QC: Isn't it?
- James Kavanagh QC: [Uncommited] Perhaps.
- James Kavanagh QC: [Speaking about Merridew after he has just left] A week ago I'd never met that man. Now I can't move without fallin' over him.
- Lisa Auerbach: [as the door is opened] I'm sorry to disturb you, Lady Jackson. Is your husband at home?
- Margaret Jackson: He's out. You have to phone the office on Monday.
- Lisa Auerbach: [Walking into the home aggressively] No, I will talk to you instead... not that you will like what I have to say.
