My Blood Runs Cold (1965)

Jeanette Nolan: Aunt Sarah

Quotes 

• Aunt Sarah : Julian! You and I know that it's an absolute miracle that she wasn't killed in that wreck on the lake last summer. And according to Harry, there was a guardian angel on duty again this morning.

  Julian Merriday : Harry's an old woman.

  Aunt Sarah : That's a matter of opinion. But unless you put a ring on that child, she's going to end up in a morgue. Do you really want to be responsible for that?

  Julian Merriday : I know, I know, I ought to send her to Paris so she can live in a garret and practice free love and develop what you're so fond of calling "meaningful relationships".

  Aunt Sarah : No! I think it's a little late for that. I think our only hope, Julian, is to get her married.

  Julian Merriday : Married?

  Aunt Sarah : That's right. The thing nice people do when they want to have children.

• Aunt Sarah : In less than a year, you have managed to wreck a motorboat and a car. And it's just a wonder that you weren't killed in both of them.

  Julie Merriday : Don't be silly. You can only be killed once.

• Aunt Sarah : Mr. Gunther, you may escort me into dinner.

  Ben Gunther : I'd be delighted.

• Aunt Sarah : [to Harry, reacting to the news that Julie has eloped with Ben Gunther]  What we need is a drink. A king-sized one.

• Aunt Sarah : I'll tell you again, in words of one syllable, because it's very difficult to reach you, Julian. Julie's gone. She's left. Departed! She's with Ben Gunther. She's going to marry him.

  Julian Merriday : [almost in a whisper]  Oh my god... Oh my god.
