The Age of Innocence (1934)

Barry O'Moore: Mr. Welland

Quotes 

• Mr. Welland : [to Newland]  It seems that over there, they're views are somewhat different from ours. And, eh, marriage doesn't seem to hold the same sacred responsibilities.

  Mrs. Welland : The truth is, poor Ellen, has left her husband. And, there's talk of a scandal. Oh, I don't know any of the details. I only ask not to.

• Mrs. Welland : Do you think your mother...

  Newland Archer : I'll talk to mother. She'll understand.

  Mr. Welland : We shouldn't like her to think that even though the Countess is our relative, that we condone a woman who has exposed herself by unconventional actions to offensive insinuation.

• Ellen : I'm asking him to get me a divorce.

  Mr. Welland : Ellen! El-Ellen!

  May Welland : Father, you better take one of your powders.

  Mr. Welland : Yes, dear. Yes. dear.
