MAN AT BRIDGE (Ed Down): What about the other girls?
MARY HENRY (Candace Hilligoss): I don't remember.

ORGAN FACTORY BOSS (Tom McGinnis): Good luck, Mary. Stop by and see us the next time you're in.
MARY: Thank you... but I'm never coming back.

ORGAN FACTORY BOSS: Day before yesterday she was the only one of three girls to survive an accident. You'd think she'd feel a little something...like humbleness or gratitude.
ORGAN FACTORY WORKER (Forbes Caldwell): Never know what she thinks. She's always kept pretty much to herself.
ORGAN FACTORY BOSS: Yeah, maybe in her place I'd do the same thing. Just pick up life again.
ORGAN FACTORY WORKER: Well, she's so quiet-like she fools you. But she's a tough-minded little thing.
ORGAN FACTORY BOSS: I guess that's what it takes to survive. I still say she's behaving strangely.
ORGAN FACTORY WORKER: Well, if she's got a problem, it'll go right along with her.
ORGAN FACTORY BOSS: Yep.

MRS. THOMAS (Frances Feist): You can take all the baths you want. I'm not one to fuss about things like that.
MINISTER (Art Ellison): This used to be quite a place. It's been deserted for a long time now.
MARY: Will you take me in?
MINISTER: Goodness no. It isn't safe out there anymore. That's why they put up this barrier.
MARY: It'd be very easy to step around it.
MINISTER: What attraction could there be for you... out there?
MARY: I'm not sure. I'm a reasonable person – I don't know. Maybe I want to satisfy myself that the place isn't any more than it appears to be. Would you take me out there?
MINISTER: No. The law has placed it off-limits. It wouldn't be very seemly for a minister to break the law, would it?
MARY: No. Maybe I can come back some other time.

MARY: I went for a long drive in the country with my new boss... an elderly minister.
MRS. THOMAS: Oh hoo... that must've been a kick in the head.

MARY: I'll be taking one of those baths you're so generous with.
MRS. THOMAS: Well, take as many as you want. I ain't one to make a fuss about a thing like that.

MARY: Who's the man in the hall?
MRS. THOMAS: Oh, you must mean Mr. Linden. He has the room across the hall.
MARY: No, I mean the other one.
MRS. THOMAS: There is no other. Me and you and Mr. Linden... us there is all there is in this house.
MARY: But you must have passed him out there.
MRS. THOMAS: You're needing this food. Going without eating makes you jumpy sometimes. Maybe you heard the boards pop or something. These old houses creak worse than my knees.
MARY: I didn't hear him, Mrs. Thomas – I saw him.
MRS. THOMAS: Now don't talk that way. I don't sleep so good as it is. It's these old houses. They, they're big enough so that you could hide a man in every corner. You just gotta not let your imagination run away with you.

JOHN LINDEN (Sidney Berger): Hey, look, I got a couple shots left over from last night, you want a little bit in yours?
MARY: No thanks. It's not the recommended breakfast for a church organist.
JOHN: Oh, is that what you do? Hey, you mean they, they pay somebody to play the organ in church?
MARY: Some churches do.
JOHN: Hey, I hope you don't mind about this, I just didn't know you were a church woman.
MARY: To me a church is just a place of business.
JOHN: That's a funny way to look at it.
MARY: Why? People seem shocked because I took a job in a church and I regard it simply as a job. I'm a professional organist and I play for pay, that's all. JOHN: Talking like that, don't that get you nightmares?

MARY: The world is so different in the daylight. But in the dark, your fantasies get so out of hand. In the daylight, everything falls back into place again. Let's have no more nights.

MARY: Thank you for the coffee. It was unsanitary but delicious.

MAN IN PARK: I didn't mean any harm. I just stopped to get a drink.

MARY: I'm a competent person. If anything, I'm a realist. I'm not given to imagining anything.
DR. SAMUELS (Stan Levitt): Hogwash. All of us imagine things. Have you never heard two men talking behind your back and imagined they were talking about you? Have you never imagined you saw someone you knew and walked up to them and found they were a perfect stranger.
MARY: I don't see what this has to do with it.
DR. SAMUELS: The point is this. Our imaginations play tricks on us. They often misinterpret what we see and hear.

MINISTER: Profane! Sacrilege! What are you playing in this church? Have you no respect? Do you feel no reverence? Then I feel sorry for you... and your lack of soul.

CHIP (Steve Boozer): Hey, Johnny... who's the doll?
JOHN: Nobody you know, Chip.
CHIP: Oh, come on now, you been holding out on me. That's not the kind of pig you usually drag around.

JOHN: That's just what I need, get mixed up with a girl who's off her rocker.
MARY: I DON'T WANT TO BE LEFT ALONE!

MARY: I don't belong in the world-that's what it is. Something separates me from other people.

MARY: They're everywhere, they're everywhere. They're not going to let me go. Everywhere I turn, there's something blocking my escape. It's trying to prevent me from living. He's trying to take me back somewhere. I can't fight anymore... I, I don't know what's real anymore.
