Quotes 

• Train Passenger : Small town is the nation's greatest tragedy. Each small town gives of its best and gets nothing in return. There is no economic absorption of the energies of youth. Children are forced to leave their parents and go away into the city and their lives become a series of occasional visits to the one they love. I hate cities! You must be careful in London.

  Eileen : Why?

  Train Passenger : Because London is full of inequity; lecherous men, strange women, robbers, thieves, gamblers!

  Eileen : But I always thought London would be beautiful.
