"Holly, I'm in love with you."

– Fred

"So what?"

– Holly

"So what?! So plenty! I love you! You belong to me."

– Fred

"No. People don't belong to people."

– Holly

"Of course they do."

– Fred

"I won't let anyone put me in a cage."

– Holly

"I don't want to put you in a cage, I wanna love you!"

– Fred

"The same thing!"

– Holly

"No it's not! Holly...!"

– Fred

"I'm not Holly! I'm not Lulu Mei either! I don't know who I'm! I'm like cat here. With a couple of no name slops, we belong to nobody & nobody belongs to us. We don't even belong to each other."

– Holly

"You know what's wrong with you, Miss Whoever-You-Are? You're chicken, you've got no guts. You're afraid to stick out your chin and say, "Okay, life's a fact, people do fall in love, people do belong to each other, because that's the only chance anybody's got for real happiness." You call yourself a free spirit, a wild thing, and you're terrified somebody's going to stick you in a cage. Well, baby, you're already in that cage. You built it yourself. And it's not bounded in the west by Tulip, Texas, or in the east by Somaliland. It's wherever you go. Because no matter where you run, you just end up running into yourself."
