Yolande Bavan: Betty

Quotes 

• Betty : You know what Proust said?

  Michael : That rich folks have more fun?

  Betty : He said that in a relationship...

  Betty : Michael! Have you?

  Michael : No yet.

  Betty : Gay men in this town have become very proper.

  Michael : Yes, terribly Victorian.

• [describing her experimental night in college sleeping with two gay men]

  Betty : Michael, I caught you in.

  Michael : Oh, sorry. I'll stop by and pick it up next time I'm in the neighborhood.

  Betty : I don't suppose you know about silly Cecil running off.

  Michael : [listening]  God, that's awful. Listen, you can cry on my shoulder any time.
