• Philip Carey : Norah, I've got something strange to tell you. You've been so good to me, it only makes it harder.

  Norah : Philip, what's wrong?

  Philip Carey : I'm sorry, it... it's just over.

  Norah : Oh, it's always the same. If you want a man to be nice to you, you have to be rotten to him. If you treat a man honestly, you... Philip, there's someone else.

  Philip Carey : Yes.

  Norah : Who is she?

  Philip Carey : Mildred. She's come back.

  Norah : After all she's done. How could you?

  Philip Carey : That's what I'd like to know.

  Norah : It's just as though you were bound to her in some way.

  Philip Carey : Yes.

  Norah : As I am to you. As she was to Miller.

  Philip Carey : As every human being is, to something or other.
