Start: LIZZY: Mary, you have a brilliant capacity to pour the chill of accuracy on every gesture of goodwill.

MARY. It’s obviously not a fir tree, look at the needles. It’s a dedicated and uncompromising spruce.

JANE. Now, Lizzy, I appreciate Mary’s consummate...correctness.

JANE. I would like that very much. I am suddenly so tired from the trip. Mary. I am very glad you’re here with us.
