Quotes
-
Louise Howell : "I love you" is such an inadequate way of saying I love you. It doesn't quite describe how much it hurts sometimes.
-
Louise Howell : You'll see. I can be very objectionable.
-
Louise Howell : You've changed, David. Something's changed you.
David Sutton : No. We were through before I went to Canada. I suppose I should have put that in writing.
Louise Howell : But now you're hard, and bitter.
David Sutton : Bored, I think, would be a bit closer to it.
-
Louise Howell : You're not going to marry her. You're not good enough for her.
-
Louise Howell : [to Mr. Graham] As for marrying you... it's very flattering. It feels wonderful to be wanted by someone. I needed that feeling right now, more than you'll ever know. Something happens to a woman when she isn't wanted... something dreadful.

Louise Howell : [on meeting again after long separation] Aren't you going to kiss me?
David Sutton : I had no plans one way or the other.
Louise Howell : All right, then. Go ahead and kiss me. You don't have to mean it.
[he gives her the briefest peck]
Louise Howell : I didn't expect you to mean it that little.
David Sutton : When a woman kisses me, Louise, she has to take pot luck.
