“After all, you couldn't expect any man to turn away from a beautiful woman with her ass in the air.”

“When you take a woman away from her man, what you get is a woman who can be taken away from her man.”

“I expect to find Stern, secreted away in every molecule of air, and at every turn.”

“If someone tells you you're not beautiful, turn around and walk away so they canhave a great view of your fabulous ass.”

“Think you it is easy to get a well-known and beautiful woman alone, away from her husband, at so public a gathering? Think you that, in the company of dozens of guests and nearly as many gossipy servants, a man can just pull such a woman aside into a private closet? It would not be easy for any ordinary man--at least I suspect it would not. I cannot say how ordinary men go about their business.”

“After all we'd been through, we still couldn't take our heads from out of our asses or our hands from around each other's throats.”
