So Evil, So Young (1961)
Ellen Pollock: Miss Smith
Quotes
-
Miss Smith : I didn't like that one from the moment I laid eyes on her, Ma'am. Thinks herself above everybody else.
-
Miss Smith : I waited for 25 years to be promoted matron of Wilsham, Ma'am. I only just missed it - they chose you instead. But, I wanted to improve the place too, in my way. I still think the old days were best, when we could knock some sense into their heads.
Matron : It only makes them harder. No, I prefer the modern methods - firmness and kindness - it's a step to helping them to rebuild their lives.
-
Miss Smith : One of these days, you and Matron won't be quite so cosy. That's the day that I'm waiting for.
-
Miss Smith : You have been a silly girl haven't you. After all we've done for you too. Still, you've had your fun - we all have to pay for that.
