Quotes 

• Ruth Kettering : [handing Derek banknotes from a strongbox]  Well, that's why you are here, isn't it?

  Derek Kettering : Amazingly no. I had an idea. I thought that without you father and other benign influences we might have a chance to patch things up.

  Ruth Kettering : You really are a piece of work.

  Derek Kettering : But then I discoved that the benignest influence of them all is actually in the bloody train! Have a care, Ruthie. He is not what he seems.

  Ruth Kettering : Yet another way in which he is remarkably unlike you.

  Derek Kettering : La Roche is a card shark. He is a confidence trickster.

  Ruth Kettering : I want a divorce!

  Derek Kettering : No, Ruthie... You don't.

  Ruth Kettering : I want a divorce, Derek! And you know what? That scares the hell out of you! It makes you twitch in your handmade boots because it means good bye to the Yankee milch cow, hello bankruptcy!

  Derek Kettering : I've never in my darkest hour thought of you as a cow. A horse possibly, in a betting sense.

  Ruth Kettering : So you better take what's going while you still can, hah.

  Derek Kettering : Actually, it's not enough.

  [throwing the banknotes on the floor] 

  Ruth Kettering : You are insufferable!

  Derek Kettering : [grabbing her arm]  I have never lied to you, Ruthie... Not once.

• Ruth Kettering : I know. The name does tend to just crash into the room and roll around like a grenade.
