Quotes 

• Kay Scott : Personally, I never subscribed to that old Egyptian custom. At least I think it was Egypt.

  Cary Scott : What Egyptian custom?

  Kay Scott : Of walling up the widow alive in the funeral chamber of her dead husband along with all of his other possessions. The theory being that she was his possession too so she was supposed to journey into death with him. And the community saw to it that she did. Course that doesn't happen anymore.

  Cary Scott : Doesn't it? Well, perhaps not in Egypt.

• Kay Scott : Theory and action should be one.

• Kay Scott : Mom? Momma?

  Cary Scott : Don't you see, Kay? The whole thing's been so pointless.

  Kay Scott : Oh momma, I'm terribly sorry! I didn't mean to hurt you! Momma, it still isn't too late. If he loves you.

  Cary Scott : Please Kay...

• Kay Scott : Remember the afternoon Freddie and I had the big fight? That's when we found out we loved each other. Momma, he's so wonderful.

  Cary Scott : Yes, I remember. That was the day you told me your life would be ruined if I married Ron.

  Kay Scott : Well, I was being childish. You shouldn't have let me get away with it. Of course, that was different. You didn't really love him, did you?
