Pauline 'Polly' Fulton Brett: Oh, please, Darling.
Burton F. 'B.F.' Fulton: Polly, times are changing. I haven't wanted them too. A lot of people think that everything should be different, and they're quite honest about ut, but I can't agree with them. I've been a builder, and the world needs builders - planners too, but builders, always builders.

Trivia
In the scene where Barbara Stanwyck, playing the new bride, was supposed to be carried across the threshold by her husband, she and director Robert Z. Leonard cooked up a practical joke and draped her body with heavy chains under the mink coat she wore, making it impossible for Van Heflin to pick her up. See more »Quotes
