And hedgehogs; I love hedgehogs.  Almásy: And what else?  Katharine Clifton: Marmite - I'm addicted. And baths. But not with other people. Islands. Your handwriting. I could go on all day.  Almásy: Go on all day.  Katharine Clifton: My husband.  Almásy: What do you hate most?  Katharine Clifton: A lie. What do you hate most?  Almásy: Ownership. Being owned. When you leave, you should forget me.  [she adopts a look of disgust, pushes him gently away to get out of the tub, picks up her tattered dress and leaves]

Almásy: I just wanted you to know: I'm not missing you yet.  Katharine Clifton: You will.

Katharine Clifton: I'm impressed you can sew.  Almásy: Good.  Katharine Clifton: You sew very badly.  Almásy: Well, you don't sew at all.  Katharine Clifton: A woman should never learn to sew, and if she can she shouldn't admit to it.
