START: I’d be very happy living on your money, but I don’t relish the thought of living on his. I’ve tried to understand how you could do it, bearing in mind your disappointments and your--embarrassment in our financial situation--but I can’t. And how will you be able to feel like a winner when we’ll both know it’s his play?

[... … …]

END: I wish you could take the vegetable patch with you, but since you can’t, you’ll buy it from me, as soon as the money starts rolling in. Before the Rolls-Royce and before you go to the Riviera! You’ll buy the vegetable patch, and the house, and the whole nine-point-three-acres! We’ll get Buck Raymond or Maury Escher to set a fair price!

Levin, Ira, Deathtrap, Dramatists Play Service, 1978, pp. 29-30.
