Dick Quote #1457

Quote from Dick in Les Liasons Dickgereuses

Mary: It's pathological with her. She has more than I ever will, and now she wants what little I have. Well, she's not going to get it, not this time.
Dick: She'll get it, all right.
Mary: What do you mean?
Dick: It's brilliant, Mary. We'll turn her advances into our advantage. We'll stage a row in front of her and pretend to be on the outs.
Mary: What?
Dick: I'll seek out her comfort, woo her, win her. And then, when the time is right, I will break her heart.
Mary: [gasps] No!
Dick: Yes. We'll pay her back for all the pain she's inflicted on you. And there won't be money enough in all the world to mend her.
Mary: Oh, Dick, I'm appalled. Your plan is ridiculous. It's risky. It's- It's horrible. It's positively French. Do it!

Quote from Dick

Mary: It's gonna block my view. It is literally going to cast a shadow on my office.
Dick: Yeah, as opposed to figuratively casting a shadow?
Mary: Yes, jerk. As opposed to figuratively.
Dick: No, I don't think you see what I'm saying. You see, the shadow is of course literal, unless...
Mary: Unless it was donated by my sister, Renata Albright.
Dick: Your sister? Literally?

Quote from Nina

Nina: You never told me you had a sister.
Mary: Well, I don't like to talk about her, only because it reminds me of... her. The minute she was born, my life changed. She was showered with attention. She was given everything. She was supported endlessly, and I had to stand by and rinse out her things.
Nina: Wow. So you're the good sister?
