Quotes 

• Kenneth Bartlett : Think of this all, of you, Helen Bartlett is not Helen Bartlett alone. Helen Bartlett is womankind. Has not womankind the sacred right to protect herself at any cost?

• Helen Bartlett : If you'd only let me go out and get a job.

  Kenneth Bartlett : I'm taking care of you.

  Helen Bartlett : A lot of wives work - even millionaires' wives.

  Kenneth Bartlett : Oh, but that's different. They work because they're bored and not as a signal to the rest of the worid that their husbands need help. If you went to work, I'd be a confessed failure and I'm not that - yet.

• Kenneth Bartlett : I'm not angry. I was just thinking I could wring your neck, that's all.

• Kenneth Bartlett : Someday, right in the middle of one of your lies, I'm gonna put on my hat and walk out that door. I'm going to walk all the way to China.

• Kenneth Bartlett : I thought he was a queer sorta duck.

• Tony Krauch : Uh, uh. Uh, Mr. Bartlett, that man of mine...

  Kenneth Bartlett : What about him?

  Tony Krauch : Well, he's took up with some no-good gal in town and spendin' all the money I makes takin' her out Susie-Q'in' and such.

  Helen Bartlett : Oh, that's a shame. Susie-Q'in', huh?

  Tony Krauch : Yes'm. And, uh - uh, Mr. Bartlett, I was wonderin'. Well, speakin' right to the point, if I lets go with a few well-aimed bullets, does you think you can get me off with the law okay?

• Kenneth Bartlett : I'm going so far away, I won't even know what year it is!
