- Richard Burton: Did I wake you, darling? Sleeping off this morning's smorgasboard?
- Elizabeth Taylor: Richard, is that you?
- Richard Burton: No, it's Conrad Hilton, it's Micheal Wilding, it's Micheal Todd, it's Eddie Fisher, it's John Warner... of *course* it's me!
- Elizabeth Taylor: So, you *are* drinking again! I'm producing this play, and I told you no drinking before a performance!
- Richard Burton: I'd hardly call what we're doing 'performing', darling, or haven't you read the reviews?
- Elizabeth Taylor: *Fuck* the reviewers!
- Richard Burton: Well, obviously that didn't do any good.
