Hi all, I could really do with some help from anyone, as quick as possible.I have been asked to find out where this quote is from, I am allowed to find out using any methods I want but the internet isn't proving useful as usual.
Ok it's "You dear sweet romantic boy"
All I know is that it is a quote from an Oscar Wilde comedy, any help would be much appreciated.
I'm relying on you detnet, please don't let me down.
Edit: Bad grammar

google to the rescue again :The quote is "You dear romantic boy:"
Algernon: What a perfect angel you are, Cecily.
Cecily: You dear romantic boy. I hope your hair curls naturally, does it?
Algernon: Yes, darling, with a little help from others.
Cecily: I am so glad.
It's < The Importance of Being Ernest >, Act 2, Scene 3.

Jimi, just out of interest: where did you get that quote from? 
Just in case some girl said that to you, it'd be real funny with the context of Wilde's comedy...

Well i'll keep this short but my G/F basically said if I got it right i'd get a special surprise.But when I got it right she admitted that she was so sure that I would get it right she hadn't anything in mind.
