Marquise de Merteuil: Tell us we should think of the opera. Chevalier Danceny: Oh, it's sublime, don't you find? Marquise de Merteuil: Monsieur Danceny is one of those rare eccentrics who come here to listen to the music.
Prison Guard: Is something burning? Frank Morris: What? I don't smell nothing. Prison Guard: It must be my imagination. Working nights really gets to you. Frank Morris: You should try it from my side.
