Quotes 

• Marian Adams : You never brought it up before tonight.

  Harry Adams : It doesn't mean I didn't think about it.

  [pause] 

  Harry Adams : Why didn't she have a name? She was a person at least for a little while.

  Marian Adams : How did you know it was going to be a girl?

  Harry Adams : I knew. And I had a name. I had a name picked out for her.

  Marian Adams : Her. You had a name picked out for her. Joe told me about the endowment policy. The life insurance you took out before she was even born. And what about me?

  Harry Adams : Marian, the policy was for her education... college. But what the hell, you were the beneficiary.

  Marian Adams : Only because she died. And don't you think I should be the beneficiary? After all, I'll be your widow.

  Harry Adams : I think you're trying to rush me a little.

  [Marian starts to walk away] 

  Harry Adams : Marian?

  Marian Adams : What?

  Harry Adams : Did the doctor say you couldn't have another child or was that your idea?

  Marian Adams : We discussed this all before.

  Harry Adams : You never gave me a straight answer.

  Marian Adams : What difference does it make?

  Harry Adams : Well, a decision like that should have been made by the two of us.

• Herbie Stoltz : Harry, why don't you get a divorce?

  Harry Adams : They still own half of you, Herbie. Oh, it's not the money. But for the rest of your life you've got a partner you don't need. You should know that.

  Herbie Stoltz : Yeah. They always got their hooks in you, huh? There's gotta be a way, Harry.

  Harry Adams : There's a way, Herbie. Believe me, there's a way.

• Herbie Stoltz : You're taking this very good, Harry.

  Harry Adams : Well, I'm glad she has someone. It might as well be Joe. Poor Joe.
