Plot: Paris shortly before World War I. Wealthy and self-satisfied, Jean Hervey is returning home from work, describing life with his wife of 10 years, Gabrielle; he values her as impassive and stolid. However, that day she's gone, leaving a letter that she's joining a man she loves. Jean is devastated, but within minutes she's returned, telling him that her resolve has failed. Over the next two days, he questions, demands, begs, and parries with her: why did she leave, why did she return, does she love him, did she ever love him, who is her lover, is she passionate with her lover? She's calm as alabaster, reserved. Is she in danger? When she makes an offer, how will he respond?

Quotes:

Ted Boynton: Positive thinking is fine in theory. But whenever I try it on a systematic basis... I end up really depressed.

Marta: You seem very intelligent for an American.::Fred: Well, I'm not.

Ted: Spanish girls tend to be really promiscuous.::Fred: You're such a prig.::Ted: No, I wasn't using "promiscuous" pejoratively. It's just a fact. They have completely different attitudes toward sex.::Fred: Well, I wasn't using "prig" pejoratively.

Ted: Here in Barcelona, everything was swept aside. The world was turned upside down and stayed there.::Fred: Has it ever occurred to you that maybe the world was upside down before, and now it's right side up?

Ted: You're very perceptive.::Montserrat: What?::Ted: You're very perceptive.::Montserrat: What?::Ted: You are very perceptive.::Montserrat: Oh. Thank you.

Fred: You are far weirder than someone merely into S&M.; At least they have a tradition. We have some idea what S&M; is about. There's movies and books about it. But so far as I know, there is nothing to explain the way you are.

Marta: I don't go to bed with just anyone anymore. I have to be attracted to them sexually.

Woman (Shootings in America): You can't say Americans are not more violent than other people.::Fred: No.::Woman (Shootings in America): All those people killed in shootings in America?::Fred: Oh, shootings, yes. But that doesn't mean Americans are more violent than other people. We're just better shots.

Fred: My jazz rule is: If you can't dance to it, you don't want to know about it.

Fred: "Yankee" and "gringo" are obviously pejorative, but it's the standard dictionary term that's the most insulting of all. "Estadunidense." Dense. D-E-N-S-E. It's the same spelling. Dense: thick, stupid. Every time you hear it. Estadunidense-dense-dense. It's like a direct slap in the face. It's incredible.::Montserrat: I think you are too sensitive.::Fred: Oh great, now we're too sensitive.

Quotes:

Dr. Moreau: Mr. Parker, do you know what it means to feel like God?

Dr. Moreau: What is the law?::Sayer of the Law: Not to eat meat, that is the law. Are we not men?::Beasts (in unison): Are we not men?::Dr. Moreau: What is the law?::Sayer of the Law: Not to go on all fours, that is the law. Are we not men?::Beasts (in unison): Are we not men?::Dr. Moreau: What is the law?::Sayer of the Law: Not to spill blood, that is the law. Are we not men?::Beasts (in unison): Are we not men?

Ruth Thomas: [hearing chanting] What's that?::Dr. Moreau: The natives, they have a curious ceremony. Mr. Parker has witnessed it.::Ruth Thomas: Tell us about it, Edward.::Edward Parker: Oh, it's... it's nothing.::Dr. Moreau: They are restless tonight.

Dr. Moreau: She's never seen anything like him.::Mr. Montgomery: No?::Dr. Moreau: You and I don't count. The only reactions we get from her are fear and terror.::Mr. Montgomery: That's understandable.::Dr. Moreau: But how will she respond to Parker where there's no cause for fear? Will she be attracted? Is she capable of being attracted? Has she a woman's emotional impulses? I could scarcely hope for a chance like this short of London.

Edward Parker: Those poor things out there in the jungle. Those animals. They - They talk.::Dr. Moreau: That was my first great achievement. Articulate speech controlled by the brain. And it was a great achievement! Oh, it takes a long time and infinite patience to make them talk.::[Moreau gives an impish smile and a chuckle]::Dr. Moreau: Someday I will create a woman and it'll be easier.

Dr. Moreau: Did you see that, Montgomery? She was tender like a woman. Oh, how that little scene spurs the scientific imagination onward.

Captain Donahue: That jungle don't look any too inviting.::Ruth Thomas: We must go on. We've got to find him.::Captain Donahue: All right. I'd just as soon leave it for somebody else to do. If there was anybody else here to do it.

Captain Donahue: What kind of a place did you say this was, Doc?::Dr. Moreau: I didn't say.

Captain Davies: Now men, stay sober! Any drinkin' to be done, I'll do it myself.

Dr. Moreau: Have you forgotten the house of pain?::Sayer of the Law: You! You made us in the house of pain! You made us... things! Not men! Not beasts! Part man... part beast! Things!
