STANLEY: The comparison makes me laugh! Olivia is a person of accomplishment and charm. Sophie’s a street finagler who makes her way living off one bit of hokum to the next.

AUNT VANESSA: Well, I don’t see how you can compare the two.

STANLEY: Well, don’t put ideas into my head!

AUNT VANESSA: Well, far be it from me!

STANLEY: Of course, she does come from dire circumstances. I mean, it’s very easy to be judgmental about people who are born into circumstances less fortunate than one’s own.

AUNT VANESSA: Well, life is harsh. One must do what one must to survive.

STANLEY: Well put. And people do sometimes make the wrong choices, which they regret, even though no serious harm was done.

AUNT VANESSA: Which of us has not made some blunders in life?

STANLEY: And there is a rather appealing quality about Sophie. Despite her disgusting behaviour.

AUNT VANESSA: Yes, her smile is rather winning. Of course, it depends how much value you put on the purely physical.

STANLEY: Well, no, I… I, for one, esteem the higher virtues.

AUNT VANESSA: Hmm… Beauty of the soul…

STANLEY: Although her eyes are rather pleasant to look into. And that she can be amusing, under the right circumstances.

AUNT VANESSA: Oh, but Olivia is an educated, cultivated woman. One that befits a man of your artistic genius.

STANLEY: Yes, now, my genius must be factored in. On paper, there’s really no reason to prefer Sophie to Olivia.

AUNT VANESSA: Well, I would say the opposite.

STANLEY: And so your, your suggestion that I, I be honest with Olivia and tell her that as irrational as it seems, I’ve fallen in love with, with Sophie - that’s a preposterous notion.

AUNT VANESSA: It’s lunacy.

STANLEY: Yet I can’t help feeling that…

AUNT VANESSA: That you love Sophie. Yes, I understand. You’re puzzled and bewildered; because your foolish logic tells you that you should love Olivia.

STANLEY: Foolish logic?

AUNT VANESSA: And yet, how little that logic means when placed next to Sophie’s smile…

STANLEY: What are you saying?

AUNT VANESSA: That the world may or may not be without purpose, but it’s not totally without some kind of magic.

STANLEY: I have irrational positive feelings for Sophie Baker. It’s like witnessing a trick I can’t figure out.
