Quotations
"I think I'm in love with her." "Oh, isn't that nice." "You don't understand; she's a nut." "You're father was one of the biggest nuts of the whole world, and I loved him dearly for 33 yeares. Even when he chained himself to a tree during an electrical storm and dared the lightning to strike him which, unfortunately, it did." -- Alan McMann (Tom Conti) to his mother Margaret McMann (Coral Browne).
