• Susan Lenox : This time I'll rise...

  [shrugs] 

  Susan Lenox : or fall... alone.

• Rodney Spencer : [Last lines]  Every time a man would come along, I'd wonder.

  Susan Lenox : I'll make you believe in me.

• Susan Lenox : [Running after Rodney]  Let me explain. I don't know what will become of me if you leave me.

  Rodney Spencer : I'll tell you what'll become of you. You'll go from one man to the other just like every other woman in the gutter...

  Susan Lenox : Gutter?

  Rodney Spencer : Yes!

  Susan Lenox : All right, but I'll make it a worthwhile gutter. I always hated men until I met you... hated them! From now on it'll be different.

• Susan Lenox : Oh Rodney, I know now that it wasn't true, all those things my uncle said about her. About her not being good because she didn't have a ring.

  Rodney Spencer : But, you're going to have a ring Helga. I'm bringing one back with me.

• Susan Lenox : I'd like to see Mr. Spencer.

  Landlady : Oh, that crazy ape. Sure, he's gone.

  Susan Lenox : Well, when do you expect him back?

  Landlady : He's never coming back. He's gone for good. And like a wild one, he was, threw twelve dollars down the kitchen stairs and rushed off...

  Susan Lenox : Well, where did he go?

  Landlady : Maybe the Ritz Hotel or Timbuktu. How should I be knowin'?

• Rodney Spencer : You took your time about catching up with me, didn't you.

  Susan Lenox : It costs money and I had to work.

  Rodney Spencer : Same old trade, huh?

  Susan Lenox : Since I last saw you, no man has had a minute from me. Not even a second.

  Rodney Spencer : You're lying.

  Susan Lenox : No man since then.

• Susan Lenox : Our love for each other has made such a wreck of everything. Your fault as well as mine. I thought that we might try again.

  Rodney Spencer : You know, you're the only woman I ever wanted to build a fence around and have all to myself. Yeah, you built the fence - an army of men.

  Susan Lenox : But, I never wanted anyone but you. There never was a time that I wouldn't have been as true as heaven, if you'd only have let me. Oh, Rodney, I'll do anything for you, go anywhere you like. I'll share anything, or nothing. We should forgive each other and try again. We've got to forgive each other, Rodney.

• Susan Lenox : This hurt that we have inflicted upon each other, its become a bond. Nothing can break it. But, just like, like two cripples, twisted. Only together can we ever become straight.

  Rodney Spencer : You have a queer way of looking at things.
