- Alice: (To Sting) I just want to say something very serious. You are quite good looking and Geraldine is after all just a woman. But every little thing she does is magic and as far as I'm concerned she walks in fields of gold. So if i had to leave you a message in a bottle, it would be, every move you make, every breath you take, I'll be watching you. Edit
- Alice: I don't know why everyone's making such a fuss about this bloke, who is he anyway? Geraldine: Well in brief, he was in The Police and then since he's left, he's written some of the most beautiful songs ever and he's one of the five most handsome men in the world. Alice: Yeah, well I'll believe it when I see it. Edit
