Nicolas Coster: Paul Trullinger

Quotes 

• Paul Trullinger : Louise, have you taken leave of your senses?

  Louise Bryant : Don't be a fool, Paul.

  Paul Trullinger : You think I'm a fool because I object to my wife being displayed naked in front of half the people I know.

  Louise Bryant : Yes. My God, it's a work of art in a gallery. What's the matter with you? You used to call Portland a stuffy provincial coffin for the mind.

  Paul Trullinger : It's stuffy and provincial, but it also happens to be a coffin where I earn a living.

  Louise Bryant : You can take your living and fill up teeth with it, because I can earn my own living. I have my work.

  Paul Trullinger : Oh, you consider a few articles in the 'Oregonian' and the 'Gazette' work? No, I'll tell you what your work is, Louise. That's making yourself the center of attention. It's shocking Louise Trullinger, emancipated woman of Portland.
