Alexandra Isles: Victoria Winters

Quotes 

• Burke Devlin : Well, when eventually you do find out who you are, and I'm convinced that you will, I'm sure you'll find out you belong to people a lot more and finer than the Collins family could ever hope to be.

  Victoria Winters : Now why do you say that?

  Burke Devlin : Because you're a finer person than anyone in that family.

  Victoria Winters : I suppose I should thank you for that.

  Burke Devlin : No. No, you shouldn't. Because it's true.

• Victoria Winters : My name is Victoria Winters. For the first time since I have come to live at Collinwood, I am away from the gloomy mansion I now call home. Waiting to see a man who may be able to help me in my search for my identity.

• Victoria Winters : Can I trust you?

  Burke Devlin : Why not? I trust me and I'm a pretty tough guy to convince.

• Victoria Winters : Well, sometimes I get the feeling that Mrs. Stoddard knows more about me than she admits to.

  Richard Garner : You mean that she's keeping something from you?

  Victoria Winters : It's just a feeling.

  Richard Garner : Well, why should she do anything like that?

  Victoria Winters : I don't know. I'm probably making the whole thing up. But... Well, suppose that my father turned out to be a convicted murderer or insane...

  Richard Garner : Oh, you're borrowing trouble that doesn't exist.

  Victoria Winters : Well, you asked for a motive and there's a perfectly good one. You said yourself she was fond of me.

  Richard Garner : Well, it's true that I know that she wouldn't willingly see you hurt, Miss Winters, but on the other hand, I don't she'd willingly keep information from you. You're entitled to all and any information that you want.

• Victoria Winters : [about the list she found]  Well, what is that list of names with the amounts of money opposite?

  Richard Garner : Well, it seems to be an old monthly wage list of the employees at Collinwood.

  Victoria Winters : But were there that many?

  Richard Garner : Oh, there was a large staff.

  Victoria Winters : But still...

  Richard Garner : Well, 2 chauffeurs, 3 cooks, upstairs maid, butler, housekeeper, gardeners, handyman. And on special occasions, they would bring in a dozen extra to help. This must've been one of those times.

  Victoria Winters : It's hard to believe that there was ever any real gaiety at Collinwood.
