Quotes5

  • Dr. Lanskell: Well, then shoot the whole bunch of them and be done with it, and Good-bye!
  • Dr. Lanskell: Your prayers have been answered. You're getting rid of your last little girl.
  • Grandmother Lovell: Yes, this is my last wedding.
  • Dr. Lanskell: Don't be too sure. I'm still single.
  • Grandmother Lovell: Yeah. You've always been too easy. The man must be the master. I was just telling Joe, here, when I was a little wife - my husband's slightest wish was my command. So be firm, Joe.
  • Joe Ralston: [laughs] Yes, Grandma.
  • Dr. Lanskell: You know, Delia, she's really too happy. When she talks, she laughs. When she walks, she dances. She sings and runs about flinging her happiness into our faces until I'm afraid for her.
  • Delia Lovell Ralston: Dr. Lanskell? Come here a moment. Do you remember when I stopped Charlotte from marrying Joe? You said at the time it was a sacrilegious thing to lay a hand on another person's destiny.
  • Dr. Lanskell: I thought it was a mistake. But one never knows what was a mistake and what was not. We can't turn back the clock and play life over again.
  • Dr. Lanskell: Memories have a way of inviting themselves to the family feasts - whether they're invited or not.
