"Meat and things, like other people. I'm no vegetarian."
"I mean, how do you obtain food and clothes? I see that you do wear clothes. At present I'm a little puzzled."
"It's a matter which has often puzzled me. I get them somehow. Sometimes I work and sometimes, but not very often, I get paid for my work. I believe that if I were married I could earn more."
"What makes you think that?"
"Well, you see, I couldn't very well earn less."
"Then am I to understand that you have practically no income?"
"If it comes to that, has Miranda any income?"
"My daughter will have what I choose to allow her."
"And I shall have what I choose to earn, so it seems that we should be fairly well matched."
"Sir, I consider your request to marry my daughter an impertinence, and the flippancy with which you have conducted this interview an insult."
