Dr. Otternschlag: "What do you do in the Grand Hotel? Eat, sleep, loaf around. Flirt a little, dance a little. A hundred doors leading to one hall.  No one knows anything about the person next to them. When you leave, someone occupies your room, lies in your bed. That's the end."

"Well, let's begin our story this way. It's one o'clock in the morning on a hot summer night. And, this is the face of New York when it's asleep. Or, as nearly asleep as any city ever is."

Mary: My husband's love happens to mean more to me than those things.
