Quote context

[...]

- Thank you. But, frankly, Miss Chester, I'd like to do an article closer to the hearts of our readers. Like, er, love... and marriage.

- Yes! That would be quite original. Love... and marriage. Let me see...

- Marriage should be like a ski jump. Sudden, swift, reckless. Starting on the heights, leaping into the void, never knowing the end, never caring! Breathless, defiant, exhilarating!

- I see what you mean.

- And love. There's only one way I could fall in love. Not as Cherry Chester the actress, but as a plain ordinary girl.

- Well, I mustn't take any more of your time. Thank you so much. I know our readers will adore every word you've said.

Marriage should be like a ski jump. Sudden, swift, reckless. Starting on the heights, leaping into the void, never knowing the end, never caring! Breathless, defiant, exhilarating!
Your type of woman bores me! Give me the simple primitive woman, the woman of long silences...!

Oh, look! That perfume again! Smell it? Well, what's the matter with it? -I don't know. Everywhere I go on boats, on trains, in aeroplanes, women wear that perfume! Why? -Well, it's very popular.
Ah, do you see that moon up there? That's where we belong, you and I. Alone on the moon, where nobody could ever bother us. Yeah, that's our home up there.
