* Discussed in the play ''TheCuriousSavage'':
-->Mrs. Savage: What is wrong?
-->Fairy May: Nothing.  It's just that no one has said they loved me this livelong day.
-->Mrs. Savage: Why, yes they have, Fairy.
-->Fairy: Oh, no they haven't.  I've been waiting.
-->Mrs. Savage: I heard Florence say it at the dinner table.
-->Fairy: Did she?
-->Florence: Did I?
-->Mrs. Savage: She said, "Don't eat too fast, Fairy."
-->Fairy: Was that saying she loved me?
-->Mrs. Savage: Of course.  People say it when they say, "Take an umbrella, it's raining" - or "Hurry back" - or even "Watch out, you'll break your neck." There're hundreds of ways of wording it - you just have to listen for it, my dear.
-->Fairy: ''(brightening)'' My dentist said I had perfect occlusion.  Do you think he was telling me he loved me?
-->Mrs. Savage: What else?
-->Fairy: Oh, thank you.  I've been missing so much.  Oh!  My dentist loves me!
::Used as a CallBack at the end of the show when Mrs. Savage is leaving, everyone else from the asylum hells her to not eat too fast, take an umbrella, etc.
