Quotes

Sweet Kitty Bellairs

Edit
  • Capt. O'Hara: Did you find it that?
  • Sweet Kitty Bellairs: What, sir?
  • Capt. O'Hara: Humiliated.
  • Sweet Kitty Bellairs: To be seized, held, kissed, by a common ruffian of the road, how dare you could think it could be anything else.
  • Capt. O'Hara: The man should pay for his offense with his life! The scum, the foul-minded, low, contemptible swine! But, I know, you fought, you scratched, you struggled, he really did not find your lips at all. It was only the merest peck, on your cheek.
  • Sweet Kitty Bellairs: Well, no. Truth to tell, he took me so by surprise that before I could move, he kissed me. Then, when I scorned at him, he stepped forward again, with such quickness, such strength, it was like the leap of a panther; before I knew it, he held me in his arms. Then, I felt his lips upon mine, once, twice, thrice!
  • Capt. O'Hara: He thrilled you then? There was something about him?
  • Sweet Kitty Bellairs: Tell me, Alphonse, what shall I do? Whom shall I choose?
  • Alphonse: The highwayman, by all means, my dear lady. I prefer the manly man!
  • Julia: I don't care how I look. My husband doesn't love me any more!
  • Sweet Kitty Bellairs: That's probably the reason.
  • Julia: But, he didn't come home all night.
  • Sweet Kitty Bellairs: Well, you can't blame him with that virginal nightgown to look at.
  • Julia: But, I was crying when he left last night.
  • Sweet Kitty Bellairs: Then, smile at him when he comes home today. Make him think you haven't missed him. Primp yourself up and get a lover.
  • Julia: A lover!
  • Sweet Kitty Bellairs: Oh, an imaginary one, I mean.
  • Sir Jasper Standish: Oh, what a ravishing ankle! I never noticed it before.
  • Sir Jasper Standish: You can't play the snake in the grass with my wife!
  • Lord Varney: Play the snake in the grass with your wife?
  • Sir Jasper Standish: Don't mention the lady's name again, sir. Now that you know that I know.
  • Lord Varney: Now that I know that you know what?
  • Sir Jasper Standish: Do dare ask me what?
  • Title Card: The community pump room - - where the gay blades and damsels exchange words of gossip, between the sulphur baths and sips of purifying waters.
  • Sir Jasper Standish: Let me insult you like a man! Turn, you rat! The calf of your leg, sir, it displeases me.
  • Pump Room Chorus: [singing] We're hungry for scandal!
  • Colonel Villiers: You scoffed at the shape of his leg. And according to the code, he is entitled to satisfaction!
  • Colonel Villiers: My honor is at stake! If you don't shoot me, I'll never speak to you again!
  • Sir Jasper Standish: But, if I do shoot you, you'll never be able to speak to me again.
  • Colonel Villiers: A wench for our amusement!
  • Sir Jasper Standish: Oh, the wench is heavy!
  • Sir Jasper Standish: Oh, the wench won't care, me lord. It's all in fun!
  • Sweet Kitty Bellairs: My reputation is in your hands.
  • Sir Jasper Standish: Woe is me, I have misjudged my Julia.
  • Sweet Kitty Bellairs: That's the trouble. A lady's virtue is in deed a nuisance!
  • Lord Varney: But, let me explain. Please give me one more...
  • Sweet Kitty Bellairs: Give you? The man I love must take!
  • Julia: It's about my nightgown. I've decided to wear a more daring one! To show an inch or two of my ankle and perhaps a trifle of my bare neck.
  • Sweet Kitty Bellairs: Oh, how positively scandalous! One would think you really had a lover.
  • Julia: Will you lend me one of your nightgowns?
  • Sweet Kitty Bellairs: I the new French one - if they're not, eh, too daring!
  • Julia: Do you hear how tenderly Sir Jasper's calling me?
  • Sweet Kitty Bellairs: Don't be a little fool now that you have him on his knees. Make him wait for his kisses.
  • Julia: Perhaps it's good advice. But I cannot.
  • Sweet Kitty Bellairs: [singing] I'm known as coquettish, Kitty Bellairs, I need you, unjust to desert you, In spite of my 30 or 40 affairs, I've lost none a bit of my virtue.
  • "A Highwayman": While we relieve the bows in your moneybags, you can relieve the cramps in your legs.
  • Sweet Kitty Bellairs: Your language, sir!
  • "A Highwayman": I'm sorry. But, most of the ladies of my acquaintance have legs.
  • Sweet Kitty Bellairs: How dare you!
  • "A Highwayman": On second thought, I might even dare your lips!
  • Sweet Kitty Bellairs: I feel I should yield - oh, to save this shy young gentleman's life.
  • "A Highwayman": Your answer, fair lady?
  • Sweet Kitty Bellairs: You can see how helpless I am.
  • "A Highwayman": Also, the ripeness of your lips!
  • Sweet Kitty Bellairs: How do I know you'll keep your word?
  • "A Highwayman": By the honor of a thief!
  • Sweet Kitty Bellairs: Then, you may steal the honor of my lips.
  • Sweet Kitty Bellairs: And as for my lips, sir, I do not consider they have been kissed at all.
  • "A Highwayman": [kisses Kitty, once, twice, three times] Now, Mistress Kitty Bellairs, consider yourself well kissed!
  • Town Crier: [singing] How do you do? How are you? How do you do? How are you? Welcome to Bath and may you stay. Beautiful girls a plenty, None of them over twenty, Everyone knows that Bath is gay.
  • A Maid: [singing] Too many local ladies, ought to be down in Hades, I'm just a maid; but, what a life, I'm in a hall of scandal, That's why I understand, A lot about whose with whose wife.
  • A Barmaid: [singing] Barmaid am I, I serve 'em, Oh, my legs unnerve 'em, Oh, how they love to pull my curl. Men know I'm always willing, Mine is a cost a shilling, Heaven protect the working girl.
  • Capt. O'Hara: I make myself a martyr.
  • Sweet Kitty Bellairs: How? A martyr? To sit beside me is so painful then?
  • Capt. O'Hara: To sit with arms, useless at my side, when I might be pressing you to me. To look longingly at what I may not touch. Your lips. Isn't that martyrdom, my lady?
