Quotes 

• Marian Brook : We still want her check, though. We just mean to insult her first.

• Anne Morris : Money isn't everything.

  Marian Brook : It is when you haven't got it.

• Peggy Scott : I don't believe in secrets.

  Marian Brook : Really?

  Peggy Scott : I don't believe in them because they never work. Everything always comes out in the end.

  Marian Brook : You should know. You keep secrets better than most.

• Tom Raikes : And the statue at the top was made by a woman. You'll like that.

  Marian Brook : I do like it. Who was she?

  Tom Raikes : Emma Stebbins, the first woman to receive a sculptural commission in New York City.

  Marian Brook : I hope you just read that in the guidebook.

  Tom Raikes : I did.

  Marian Brook : What a relief. You scared me for a moment.

• Peggy Scott : What will you tell your aunts?

  Marian Brook : I'll say I'm going for a walk and that I've asked you to accompany me.

  Peggy Scott : And you don't mind lying to them?

  Marian Brook : Don't put it like that. I'm just... trying to live my life.

• Agnes Van Rhijn : Mrs. Chamberlain's money is tainted.

  Marian Brook : If you were living in one room with neither heat nor water, I'm sure you would not find it so.

• Agnes Van Rhijn : New York is a collection of villages, my dear. We know the people who live in our own village.

  Marian Brook : But not the ones who don't.

  Oscar Van Rhijn : The Russells live in your village, Mama. I could throw a stone from here and break their windows.

  Agnes Van Rhijn : Don't tease me.

• Tom Raikes : When I see what I really want, I take it if I can.

  Marian Brook : I suspect that's something you should try to control if you don't intend to spend time in a police cell.

• Marian Brook : They're joining the Dispensary for Poor Women and Children with the Infirmary for Indigent Women and Children and they'll move the whole thing to 7th Street.

  Ada Brook : That's sounds sensible, doesn't it?

  Agnes Van Rhijn : It sounds dull enough to be respectable, at any rate.

• Marian Brook : Wish I understood what brings you to New York.

  Tom Raikes : Simple. I want to be here.

  Marian Brook : And that's enough of a reason?

  Tom Raikes : Course it is. It's always a reason when you want something enough.

• Aurora Fane : I'm sure your father means well, but I'm afraid his generosity will close the bazaar before it's really begun.

  Marian Brook : I don't think he means well at all.

  Larry Russell : No?

  Marian Brook : No. And I don't blame him one little bit.

• Marian Brook : I hope you have plans for tonight.

  Tom Raikes : How could I? I don't know anyone in New York except you.

  Marian Brook : Well, that'll soon change if you come here to live. New York has plenty to offer the new arrival.

  Tom Raikes : But what would I have to offer New York?

• Marian Brook : I'm enjoying myself. It's not every day you watch Sherman march into the sea.

• Gladys Russell : He wanted me to join them for dinner, but, of course, it was out of the question.

  Marian Brook : How strange these rules are. Why shouldn't you go out to dinner with your brother and a friend? What could be more normal?

  Gladys Russell : Not to my mother.
