Quote context

- I always choose my friends for their good looks and my enemies for their good intellects. A man cannot be too careful in his choice of enemies.

- Harry, I despise your principles, but I do enjoy the way you express them.

- Now I remember.

- Remember what, Harry?

- I'm glad you didn't meet Dorian Gray.

- You've come early today, Dorian.

- Have I?
