Mary Hartman
- Cathy Shumway: You know, isn't it ironic - that if one of us had to get it, it's a miracle it was you.
- Mary Hartman: I know, I must have been born under an unlucky star. You know I have filled out entry blanks for every single drawing in the supermarket for the last twelve years, and the only thing I ever won was a coupon for a small little jar of tomato paste. But they were out of tomato paste, and by the time they got more in, my coupon had expired. And now I have venereal disease.
- Mary Hartman: [Mary realizes she went to elementary school with the man who has kidnapped her] Remember me, Mary Shumway? Mary Shumway?
- Librarian: Do you know what aspects of venereal disease she wants books on?
- Mary Hartman: Um, I think mostly on the disease itself. And how not to die from it.
- Librarian: Perhaps it would be better if your friend came in herself.
- Mary Hartman: She can't.
- Librarian: Why?
- Mary Hartman: She's in traction.
