Irena Dubrovna: What should I tell my husband? Naturally, he's anxious to have some word.
Dr. Louis Judd: What does one tell a husband? One tells him nothing.
Irena Dubrovna: He's beautiful.
Zookeeper: No, he ain't beautiful. He's an evil critter, ma'am. You read in your Bible. Revelations. Where the book's talkin' about the worst beast of 'em all. It says, "And the beast which I saw, was like unto a leopard."
Irena Dubrovna: Like unto a leopard.
Zookeeper: Yes, ma'am. Like a leopard, but not a leopard.
Irena Dubrovna: I like the dark. It's friendly.
Irena Dubrovna: Oliver, be kind. Be patient. Let me have time. Time to get over that feeling there's something evil in me.
Oliver 'Ollie' Reed: Darling, you have all the time there is in the world if you want it. And all the patience and kindness that's in me.
Irena Dubrovna: Only a little time, Oliver. I don't want more than that.
