Quotes

Perfect Understanding

Edit
  • Ivan Ronnson: Jealousy is a wild beast.
  • Lady Stephanie Fitzmaurice: You must hate me.
  • Judy Rogers: It's a temptation. I'm trying to resist it. But I've got to get rid of hate. I don't hate Nick. Someday I shan't hate you.
  • Ivan Ronnson: I have been alone so much, I have found words are not so necessary... except sometimes to hide one's thoughts.
  • Judy Rogers: I wouldn't try to hide any from you. I couldn't.
  • Lord Portleigh: [Speaking to Judy about Stephanie] She's clever, unscrupulous and dangerous. After all, the boy's not made of stone. He's my nephew. She'll have him in the divorce court before he knows where he is.
  • Ivan Ronnson: You mean you want to hurt Nick as much as he hurt you?
  • Judy Rogers: No, I don't want to hurt Nick. What good would that do?
  • Ivan Ronnson: Oh, but it is easy enough to give advice when one's own heart is not involved.
  • Lady Stephanie Fitzmaurice: My husband has contented to give me my divorce. Because of Nick. Will you do the same for him, so that Nick and I can be married? If I'd been free, we should have been married long before you ever arrived in England. My happiness is just as important to me as yours is to you. I love Nick desperately. I was married before I knew anything to a man who knows nothing about love...
  • Judy Rogers: You needn't go on.
  • Lady Stephanie Fitzmaurice: Why not?
  • Judy Rogers: You're wasting your time.
  • Lady Stephanie Fitzmaurice: I beg your pardon?
  • Judy Rogers: You're standing there begging for what I'll offer you freely with both hands! There's only one thing I want now, and that's to be done with the whole thing, to be finished with you all, to go back to America to my own life and work. Yes, I'll divorce Nick!
  • Lady Stephanie Fitzmaurice: It must be very nice to realise you won't be letting Judy down... whatever you do.
  • Judy Rogers: You know, Nick, the essential part of anybody is individual. We can only grow up out of our experience. That's why marriage shouldn't stop experience. This is a funny thing--what is this?
  • Nicholas Randall: That's an old skull's bridle, my dear. It's what they used to fix on their women when they talk too much.
  • Judy Rogers: But you must believe! There were things I wanted to think about and make up my mind about--and I have!
  • Nicholas Randall: Then why did you go to Ronnson?
  • Judy Rogers: Oh!
  • Nicholas Randall: I suppose he didn't make love to you, by any chance. Did he?
