Arnold (1973)

Shani Wallis: Lady Jocelyn Dwellyn

Quotes 

• Karen : Jocelyn...

  Lady Jocelyn Dwellyn : I hope you and your bridegroom, my dead husband, will be very happy together in this medieval mausoleum.

  Karen : I can understand your bitterness. If only you'd given Arnold more love and affection.

  Lady Jocelyn Dwellyn : You gave him enough "affection" for both of us.

  Karen : All he wanted was...

  Lady Jocelyn Dwellyn : I know what he wanted. What is your going rate?

  Lady Jocelyn Dwellyn : [gasps]  Lady Dwellyn! You are mistaken. Arnold and I never, never discussed money.

  Lady Jocelyn Dwellyn : What did he do? Just leave it on the mantel each night?

  Karen : Ours was a deep and honest love. In fact, I love Arnold so much, I refuse to let even death separate us.

  Lady Jocelyn Dwellyn : Rubbish! You won't get away with it, you know. It's quite illegal to marry a corpse.

  Karen : Mr Whitehead thinks he can prove our marriage valid. He intends to establish a precedent, using the analogy of women who marry soldiers at the front by proxy; men who might already have died in battle before the wedding ceremony was performed.

  Lady Jocelyn Dwellyn : The Courts will award me the entire estate. I am the rightful heir. Arnold's one and only wife. And widow. Happy honeymoon, you bitch!
