Quote context

- Without danger of interruption.

- And when it comes that time in the evening when he wants her, full-sized and beautiful, he just waves his hand and there she is, full-sized.

- Why, that's the most conceited statement I've ever heard.

- But if she starts to interrupt, he just shrinks her back to pocket size, and puts her away.

- Yes, it's... It's a confession that a woman may drive you out of your mind, but you wouldn't trust her. And, because you couldn't put her in your pocket, you'd get all mixed up.

- I don't understand what does it. What did it for Johnny?

- The trouble is it happened to Johnny, but it didn't happen to me, at least not as intensely.

- Yes, that's what he was afraid of.

- I was going away with him because he was the nicest person I'd ever met, and because I'm lonely.

- You're right about women being made for love, but what happens when it never comes the way you want it? Like music that never reaches a pitch?
