Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day

"You people, with your green drinks and your parties and your subterfuges! You're all playing at love. One minute her, the next minute someone else, flit, flit, flit! We'll, I'm not playing. Love is not a game."

"Not everything comes along just when we want it. There are times when decisions just have to be made, or you certainly will miss out."

"I have no one. I am not an expert on love, I am an expert on the lack of love, Delysia, and that is a fate from which I wish more fervently to save you."

"Your heart knows the truth, Delysia. Trust it, for life is short."

"Phil's a theatre producer! Well, his father is. Phil's got his first show on at the Ambassador, and I've got the lead. Well, I'm pretty sure I have now. [Holds up lingerie and giggles]"

"Men are so untrusting. I can't think why"

"[After Guinevere confesses her 'pretending'] Guinevere, Sarah Grubb is not going to judge anybody for 'pretending'."

"One picks up a few tricks in prison, breaking and entering being one of them."
