• Mrs. Welman : Now, look here, doctor, I've said this before. In any civilized country, I'd just say I wanted to end it all and you would finish me off with some nice, painless drug.

  Dr. Peter Lord : Well, I'm not sure I wish to be hanged just yet. Now, you're doing so well. Leave me all your money, I might reconsider, if you like.

• Elinor Carlisle : Aunt Laura, tell me something -honestly. Do you think love is ever a happy thing?

  Mrs. Welman : Oh, Elinor. Perhaps it always brings more sorrow than joy. But who could do without it? Anyone who has never really loved hasn't lived.

• Mrs. Welman : And I'm so p-pleased you and Roddy are together. You do care for him?

  Elinor Carlisle : Of course I do.

  Mrs. Welman : Enough and not too much.

  Elinor Carlisle : What?

  Mrs. Welman : Oh, it's just something... we used to say. How you should never care too much for a man.
