• Will Cade : You're full of love, ain't ya, Miss Roger. I mean, so am I! You know, there's no one can love more than me. I could love a woman so - so the roof could just come off the house from the happiness inside.

• Will Cade : You know, Miss Libby, you know that - that I love you.

  Libby Meredith : You mustn't say that! You mustn't even think that! I love Roger and I wouldn't do anything...

  Will Cade : Of course you love Roger. It just makes me happy to love you. It's just something to think about. You know, at night I go to sleep, thinkin' of you. In the mornin', I wake up thinkin' of you! Well, I mean it's better than nothin'!

  Libby Meredith : Oh, Will, it's childish. It's - it's fantasy. It's unreal and harmful.

  Will Cade : Why? Is it hurting you?

  Libby Meredith : No.

  Will Cade : Well, it sure ain't hurtin' me! So, what's the harm?

• Will Cade : My, my, pretty as a sunflower.

• Will Cade : You got joy all over you, gal, jes shines outta yer eyes. Makes me happy, Libby, real happy!
