Quotes
-
Maria Marcello : He was telling me about your mother.
Anthony Richmond : How she liked his strength after my father's weakness? How she loved him, despite his wealth?
Maria Marcello : He was so sad when he talked about her dying.
Anthony Richmond : Did he tell you what he said the minute after she died?
Maria Marcello : No...
Anthony Richmond : He said, "You gave me everything, and took nothing. You were a very stupid woman." Let's not get sentimental, shall we?
-
Charles Richmond : [about Tony] Just look at him, Miss Marcello. Observe those lily-white hands if you please. Good for nothing except driving Jaguars and seducing women.
Anthony Richmond : Don't you wish you could still do either, Uncle?
-
Anthony Richmond : You know what you're throwing away, what you're losing? Foxhurst and all that goes with it.
Maria Marcello : He goes with it, Richmond.
Anthony Richmond : Oh, not for long.
Maria Marcello : Too long for me.
-
Maria Marcello : You encourage him. I have to fight both of you.
Anthony Richmond : Just part of the game. Haven't you noticed I'm always in the wrong? I'm against you, he's for you. It's working splendidly.
-
Charles Richmond : Where's that nurse? I need the nurse.
Anthony Richmond : Ah, the nurse is coming, Uncle.
Charles Richmond : I want a pretty nurse. None of those blasted battleaxes. Last one they sent me, a hag. Mustache! Ate goat's cheese all day and stank of it.
-
Anthony Richmond : I want you to stay.
Maria Marcello : Do women always do what you want, Mr. Richmond?
Anthony Richmond : Invariably. May I sit down?
Maria Marcello : No.
Anthony Richmond : [sits down] Thank you.
-
Anthony Richmond : Your photograph doesn't do you justice.
Maria Marcello : My photograph? Is that important?
Anthony Richmond : Appearances are very important - in a nurse. I had to pick carefully. You see, there have been mistakes in the past. But I'm sure we've made no mistake this time.
-
Anthony Richmond : As you see, Miss Marcello, my uncle has solved the servant problem in his own inimitable manner. He treats his servants like dogs, and his dogs like servants.
-
Maria Marcello : Please go, Mr. Richmond. You're an attractive man, but I'm not interested. Neither in you or your uncle.
Anthony Richmond : Well, that's a pity. Because the both of us are fascinated by you.
-
Anthony Richmond : Why were you so sure I'd come?
Maria Marcello : Because you *want* something from me.
Anthony Richmond : Do I? Are you sure it's not the other way round? You want to be - persuaded.
-
Anthony Richmond : Do you think I would have trusted you? Trusted any woman? I saw the way you fawned on him, just like my mother did. Like some cringing spaniel *bitch*.
-
Anthony Richmond : You don't look like a nurse.
Maria Marcello : I assure you I am. But I doubt if it's a nurse you require.
Anthony Richmond : I can assure you we do.
-
Anthony Richmond : She's here.
Charles Richmond : About time, too. Let's have a look at her. Mustache again, I daresay. Sweaty armpits.
-
Maria Marcello : You took me for something I'm not, can never be.
Anthony Richmond : I took you for a woman. A woman who wants.
Maria Marcello : You think money is all I want?
Anthony Richmond : The other things, you can have them, too. We can have them together.
