Quotes
-
Willie : I'd rather a million times that you never belonged to me, than I had you, and lost you.
-
Mary : Tell me, do you mean to be a tobacconist all your life?
Willie : Being a tobacconist, being a cowboy, being all of the things I've been, all of these are interests on the way.
Mary : To what?
Willie : If I told you, you might laugh, and that would be discouraging.
Mary : No, I won't, I promise.
-
Willie : I think for a common little tobacconist's assistant, I behaved rather well. Because, as a playwright, I could have been terribly unpleasant.
-
Willie : I'd rather a million times you never belonged to me, than you did for a little and I lost you.
Mary : I'll give up everything for you.
Willie : Tomorrow you'll be sorry.
Mary : No, I won't. I promise you I want to.
Willie : Think it over, my sweet. And if tomorrow you feel the same, that would be divine. But if you don't and you go with that ship, I'll understand.
-
Willie : Wait a minute. Where are you going to stop until we get married?
Mary : Well, I'll stay here.
Willie : Oh, you can't do that.
Mary : Oh, don't talk nonsense.
Willie : But...
Mary : If you say another word, I'll pop into the bed now.
Willie , Mary : Don't you dare
Mary : Oh, what a prude you are.
-
Willie : Sometimes, I'm so unhappy I can't sleep, and sometimes I'm so happy I don't want to.
Mary : Because of me?
Willie : Sometimes I'm so happy, I don't need food. And sometimes I'm so unhappy, it chokes me.
Mary : Because of me?
Willie : No - because I've got to be in the tobacconist shop tomorrow morning at nine o'clock.
-
Willie : A starving man has very little respect for himself, so you can't expect him to have any at all for you.
-
Willie : Uh, my wife and I are very grateful to you for your felicitations. It has pleased God to place upon this earth few great men. We are alive to our responsibility.
-
Mary : The only thing that matters to me is your succeeding. No matter what we go through, not matter what happens to us. It's all trivial compared to that. I'll do anything in the world to help you. You'd hate to fail me, wouldn't you?
Willie : That's the only thing I'm terrified of.
Mary : But you won't.
