Mildred Pierce (1945)
Barbara Brown: Mrs. Forrester
Quotes
-
Mrs. Forrester : Your daughter has somehow got the idea that... well, I understand it, of course... any girl wants to get married, but Ted had no such thing in mind. I want that made clear.
Mildred Pierce : You mean they're engaged? Veda and your son?
Mrs. Forrester : Yes, but I'm quite sure you will agree with me, Mrs. Pierce, that any discussion of marriage between them would be most undesirable.
Mildred Pierce : Why should Veda want to marry your son if he doesn't want to marry her?
Mrs. Forrester : I'm not a mind reader, Mrs. Pierce. But let me tell you one thing. If you or this girl or anybody employs any more tricks trying to blackmail my son...
Mildred Pierce : Trying to what?
Mrs. Forrester : Understand me, Mrs. Pierce. I shall prevent this marriage. I shall prevent it in any way that I can.
Mildred Pierce : I don't think you need worry, Mrs. Forrester. Having you in my family is a pretty dismal prospect. Good afternoon.
