Lady Chiltern: "Robert, that is all very well for other men, for men who treat life simply as a sordid speculation; but not for you, Robert, not for you. You are different. All your life you have stood apart from others. To the world, as to myself, you have been an ideal always. Be that ideal still....don't kill my love for you."
