Atlantic (1929)

D.A. Clarke-Smith: Freddie Tate-Hughes

Quotes 

• Clara Tate-Hughes : I'm not going to give way to panic as long as the ship's perfectly safe.

  Betty Tate-Hughes : I'm not going to move for anyone.

  John Rool : You do what your father tells you, child.

  Betty Tate-Hughes : [scornfully]  father, huh!

  Clara Tate-Hughes : [scornfully]  Your father...

  John Rool : Betty, you little fool. He's trying to save your life.

  Betty Tate-Hughes : Save my life?

  Clara Tate-Hughes : What do you mean?

  John Rool : The ship that you thought so safe will sink in about two hours.

  Betty Tate-Hughes : Mr Rool!

  Clara Tate-Hughes : Good god!

  Betty Tate-Hughes : Mother!

  John Rool : And the measure of your father's love is... that he hasn't told you.

  Betty Tate-Hughes : Daddy! Daddy!

  Clara Tate-Hughes : It's not true. Freddie, it can't be true.

  Freddie Tate-Hughes : I'm afraid it is, Clara.

  Betty Tate-Hughes : But you must come too. You must come.

  Freddie Tate-Hughes : I can't, my dear. I would if I could.

• John Rool : Hello, Tate-Hughes. Seen your women off?

  Freddie Tate-Hughes : No. I haven't. Neither wife nor daughter will go. The wife won't leave her luggage or the dresses she bought in Paris. Betty's merely rude.

  John Rool : Better make 'em go.

  Freddie Tate-Hughes : I can't. They won't listen to me. They're huffy about something.

  John Rool : Mrs Lilly, hmmm?

  Freddie Tate-Hughes : Something like that.

  John Rool : Anyhow, if you still love your wife and daughter, you'd better get them to the boats without delay.

  Freddie Tate-Hughes : Why? The ship's quite safe, isn't it?

  John Rool : Oh, yes... for a couple of hours.
