Nancy Valentine: Alva Wagner

Quotes 

• Alva Wagner : Somehow it doesn't seem fair taking the land from people who didn't do anyhting but forget some old papers.

  Barney Wagner : That's business, Alva. That's the way money is made. And once a man's made it you watch how quick people forget how it was made. They only remember that he's got it.

• Barney Wagner : You didn't seem to complain when I bought you a new dress or a fancy hat or some French perfume. You didn't care where the money came from then.

  Alva Wagner : Barney, if you think I married you for things like that, I might as well get out of here right now!

  Barney Wagner : Honey, I didn't mean...

  Alva Wagner : Just remember that the one thing I really want you won't give me and that's for you to be able to walk out a door without looking around to see if somebody's going to shoot first. Oh, Barney, there's one dress I don't want - a black one!

• Barney Wagner : Honey, you sound like you don't trust me to do the right thing.

  Alva Wagner : I'm beginning to think you don't know how.
