HUMBERT
To a nymphic-driven man like Poe or Dante Alighieri,
Ordinary love is, all in all, too ordinary.
How can you compare a woman's Chase-Manhattan charm
With dusty little toes, a sticky hand, a scrawny arm?
QUILTY
Dusty little toes?!
HUMBERT
A dimpled flank, a bony shoulder
Sink into the flab and disappear when she is older.
...QUILTY (to Charlotte)
Who is that viper
Who likes them post-diaper?
Music John Barry
Original Lyrics: Alan J. Lerner
