Once a Sinner (1950)

George Street: Bridges

Quotes 

• Bridges : Oh, Ross, just a moment...

  John Ross : I'm sorry I was late, Mr Bridges. I was waiting until you were free to come and apologise.

  Bridges : Yes, of course. I hear some rather disturbing reports about you. The whole town's talking...

  John Ross : But surely, Sir, my private life is my affair.

  Bridges : Yes. You've seemed a trifle worried lately. And people will, eh.

  John Ross : ...will talk.

  Bridges : Precisely. Of course it's quite ridiculous but banks have that curious idiosyncrasy of hoping that their employees will conduct their private affairs in a manner which will not give cause for people to talk at all.

  John Ross : Will that be all, Sir?

  Bridges : Yes. Except of course that I should be very sorry to see so promising a career become, eh, less promising. Thank you, Mr Ross.
