Master of Seduction Quotes

I love you, my lady, Lorelei. Marry me and I swear I shall never again do or say anything to harm you and I will slay anyone who does. (Jack)”

“Thank you ” Lorelei said. “Now if you wish to train a man to listen to you you never shout you whisper.

That way he’ll always come instead of ignoring you or putting
you off.”
