• Olivia Grayne : I'm not a snob, but in case you'd like to call here again, I'd like to point out that although I'm employed by my aunt, I'm not in Dora's position.

  Danny : Well, I hope not. I am gonna marry her though, and I...

  Olivia Grayne : I don't believe you.

  Danny : You don't believe me, do you?

  Olivia Grayne : Your eyes are set quite wide apart... and your hands are quite good, but I really don't know what's wrong with you.

  Danny : Like me, do you?

  Olivia Grayne : No!

  Danny : Everybody else does.

• Danny : I forgot it was Sunday. They're goin' to church down in the villages. All got up in their Sunday best. And the organ is playin' and the windows are shinin'. Shinin' on holy things because holy things isn't afraid of the daylight. But all the time, the daylight's movin' across the floor. And by the end of the sermon, the air in the church is turnin' gray and the people isn't able to think so much of holy things anymore but only of the terrible things that's goin' on outside. Because they know it's still still daylight and everything is ordinary and quiet and the day is the same as all the other days. And it'll come to an end. And it'll be night.

• Emily Terence, the Cook : You don't sound very repentent.

  Danny : Oh, but I am. What's done is done, isn't it, isn't it? That's my motto.

  Emily Terence, the Cook : [Olivia walks out]  What does that mean?

  Danny : [laughs]  She's a fine bit of ice for hot weather, isn't she?

• Danny : I'm the one who WATCHES!

• Danny : [Referring to Mrs. Branson]  She's an invalid, isn't she?

  Emily Terence, the Cook : If she's an invalid, I'm Mickey Mouse.

• Olivia Grayne : You've been drinking.

  Danny : I've had a drink... and I feel fine...

• Danny : That's the kind of fella I am. I make my mind up about something and then I do it.
