Regret? I left school when I was only 12... never learned how to spell "regret."

Travers
Careful, Mark, she's only after our money.
Mark Whitney
Are you?
Marian Martin, aka Mrs. Moreland
...Yes.
Mark Whitney
Honest, aren't you?
Mark Whitney
You wouldn't want me to lie to you, wouldn't you?
Mark Whitney
That's almost the only thing I could never forgive you.

You don't own me. Nobody does. My life belongs to me.
Al Manning
You'll make one fine mess of it.
Marian Martin, aka Mrs. Moreland
It'll still belong to me.
Marian's mother
Don't, Marian, you frighten me when you talk like that.
Marian Martin, aka Mrs. Moreland
If I were a man it wouldn't frighten you! You'd think it was right for me to go out and get anything I could out of life, and use anything I had to get it. Why should men be so different? All they've got are their brains and they're not afraid to use them. Well neither am I!

[to Marian] I like women who know what they want. Sometimes I can help them get it.

Wally
[From the train] Have a drink?
[Marian begins to leave]
Wally
Aw, don't go away. Looking out? Wrong Way! Get in and look out.
Marian Martin, aka Mrs. Moreland
[There is a gate blocking access to the train steps] Get in where? Oh, here?
Wally
Oh, anywhere... just in. Only rwo kinds of people... the ones in and the ones out.

Wally
...so you'd better listen. There's only one way for a girl to get along in this town, and that's with a man - a rich man to help her, but she must keep a cool head. When you meet a man, never look him in the eye.
Wally
No. Take a peek at the pocket book.
[She glances at his right pocket]
Wally
. No, wrong number. And one other thing before you go' Find out all you can about them and never tell them anuthing. Men like to think they're Christopher Columbus discovering America.

I'd like to see the prisons reformed until there are no prisons. Prosperous people don't turn crooked. Happy people are not criminals. Prison reform comes conditions outside prison walls, not inside. Idleness and vice are bosom companions. Honesty lies deep in the heart of every man and woman in the world. Unless it is turned sour by corruption, oppression and degradation. That is the root of evil at which we must strike.
