- Edward Shelley: You see, there's always some good in everything bad, if you just look for it.
- Susan Shelley: And something bad in everything good? Isn't there?
- Edward Shelley: Is she still having those nightmares you wrote us about?
- Sister René: Always vivid, horrid nightmares. Perhaps if you would have been able to visit her, even to write more often.
- Edward Shelley: Yes, but, uh, we've, uh,, we've been travelling a great deal since.
- Sister René: I'm sorry, that was unkind of me. But there are times that the phantoms of the past tear at that poor child's mind. There are times when she seems on the verge of...
- Edward Shelley: [anticipating] Remembering?
- Sister René: Oh, heaven forbid she remembers! No, God in his mercy saw fit to make her forget.
- Edward Shelley: Aren't you going to kiss your mother?
- Susan Shelley: Francene's not my mother. My mother's dead. Isn't she?
- Edward Shelley: [to Susan] I have to sell the paintings and the furniture. I - I need the money. It seems I - I was rather foolish with the funds your mother left me. I - I made some pretty bad investments.
- Lawyer Clayborn: Mink coats. Foreign cars. High livin' in all those foreign countries. Some kind of $100,000 investment, if you ask me.
- Edward Shelley: I don't recall having asked you.
- Lawyer Clayborn: News gets around.
- Francene Shelley: Cure me.
- Edward Shelley: How? I've tried every way I know. You've gone through a $100,000 worth of remedies. What else can I do?
- Francene Shelley: I've already told you. Cure me.
- Susan Shelley: Do you think I'm pretty, Daddy. Now do you think I'm as pretty as Mommy or Francene?
- Edward Shelley: You've always been my beautiful baby.
- Francene Shelley: Oh, let me go.
- Edward Shelley: Let you go? How easily you say those words. But, it wasn't that easy to get you.
