Quotes 

• Alison Drake : I can't go on! I don't belong here! This is no place for a woman! I know, I've always thought I was different. I've always tried to beat life the way men beat it - but, I can't. I can't! All this crazy, frantic struggle! Fighting with bankers. Trying to save the business! What's it to me? You do what you like with it - I don't care!

  [Runs out of the board room to her adjoining office] 

  Pettigrew : That's right, my dear, have a good cry. It's just what you need. Of course, I've been expecting this for some time. It's only natural. You couldn't go on as you have been - living on your nerves, running this big business all by yourself. You're just a woman, after all. This job is too much for you. I don't wonder you quit.

  Board Member : [Alison returns to the board room]  What are we going to do?

  Alison Drake : Gentlemen, I apologize. Please forget that that ever happened.
