Olivia de Havilland: Marcia West
Quotes
-
Marcia West : [about Basil] I don't think there are words to describe him, do you?
Joyce Arden : Well, there probably are, but one would have to have a very extensive vocabulary.
-
Marcia West : [to Basil] Will you shut up?
Basil Underwood : What?
Marcia West : You meddlesome old nuisance, who asked you to interfere with our affairs, anyway?
Henry Grant, Jr. : She's absolutely right!
Basil Underwood : Well, I like that! Why, you - you...
Marcia West : You leave Henry out of this! If he'd had any sense he would have realized that I'd have forgotten all about you in two weeks. I was in love with Clark Gable last year, and if I could get over him, it's a cinch I could get over you.
Basil Underwood : Who's Clark Gable?
Marcia West : [to Henry] He doesn't know who Clark Gable is.
Henry Grant, Jr. : Hmmm. I do.
-
Marcia West : What are manners? Little rules for little people!
-
Marcia West : This is Miss Kane.
Gracie Kane : I know you, you wear blue polka-dot shorts!
Basil Underwood : Are there no reformatories in California?
-
Marcia West : What right has she to talk that way to me?
Joyce Arden : Practically none. Wives have so few rights nowadays.
Marcia West : Your wife?
Basil Underwood : Yes, my wife...
[looking at Joyce]
Basil Underwood : ... wonderful.
-
Marcia West : This Aunt Ella Paisley!
Aunt Ella : [Grabbing his hand] Oh, Mr. Underwood! That hand! That Hand! That love line, and that mound of Venus. You'll be married once. Heaven help the poor girl, the lucky thing.
-
Marcia West : I think that everyone should act the way they feel, don't you?
Basil Underwood : Yes, uh, I do. Yes, yes.
Marcia West : Of course, a lot of people think I'm crazy. Do you?
Basil Underwood : No, no, no. A little strange, perhaps, but, uh...
-
Marcia West : I thought perhaps, that... that someday when you're old and forgotten...
Basil Underwood : What? Me... me forgotten?
Marcia West : And when you feel that awful loneliness that comes to those who've been admired and then are now forgotten - that then, perhaps, you'll remember tonight. And be grateful to me.
-
William West : Marcia, I want you to get this man out of here. He's a lunatic.
Marcia West : Oh, go away, daddy, please.
William West : I will, I...
Marcia West : Father!
William West : Oh, well. I'll go away.
[Mumbles to himself]
-
William West : What are my daughter's moles to you, Mr. Underwood?
Marcia West : Oh, leave him alone, daddy. Please go away.
William West : [Mumbling as he steps away] Nobody ever lets me in on anything.
-
Henry Grant, Jr. : Now you listen to me. If you love me, you'll leave those moles where they are. They're... they're part of the girl I'm engaged to.
Marcia West : Well, I'm sorry, Henry, but you're not engaged to my moles. And they're coming off.
-
Marcia West : Don't tell father. He doesn't understand.
Basil Underwood : No, he wouldn't, would he.
-
Marcia West : You can have your husband back now, Mrs. Underwood. Though how you can endure him is beyond me. Of all the meddlesome, impertinent, conceited...
Henry Grant, Jr. : Now, now darling. Remember, he was on the level about getting us back together again.
-
Marcia West : He's too big for manners!
-
Marcia West : Aunt Ella, when Basil Underwood feels like a kipper, I'm sure he doesn't feel like an egg - even an aristocratic one.
