Kings Row - Anticipating Consequences in a Challenging Situation
Parris Mitchell:
Stick your chin out, Drake.
Drake McHugh:
Why?
Parris Mitchell:
You're gonna get the worst wallop you ever had.
Drake McHugh:
Yeah? Who's gonna do it?
Parris Mitchell:
I am.
Drake McHugh:
Start swingin'.
Parris Mitchell:
It's something about you and Louise Gordon and her father.
Randy Monaghan: [interrupting]
Parris!
Parris Mitchell:
She was here today, Louise was. She wanted to tell you and I wouldn't let her.
Randy Monaghan:
Parris, you can't. You said yourself...
Parris Mitchell:
I've just come from the Gordons. I've sent Louise out to tell anyone she pleases. But saying it to you I've saved for myself.
Randy Monaghan: [begging]
I won't let you Parris, please, if you have any heart.
Parris Mitchell:
I'm not your friend now, you're not mine. I'm your doctor. And you're my patient. It's as if I'd taken you in the operating room and I had the scalpel in my hand which may make you - or destroy you.
Drake McHugh:
What's this all about, kid?
Parris Mitchell:
My grandmother used to say, Some people grow up and some people just grow older. I guess it's time we found out about us, you and me. Whether I'm a doctor, and whether you're a man. You know the kind of man I mean, Drake.

Kings Row - Consequences of Shattered Trust
Randy Monaghan: [about Louise]
She'll come again or someone else will. That kind of news always gets home. Then what?
Parris Mitchell:
If it should ever enter Drake's mind that this whole catastrophe was anything but an accident...
Randy Monaghan:
What would happen?
Parris Mitchell:
I think the whole structure we built up for him would topple down again. This time we couldn't rebuild it. He'd be gone.
Randy Monaghan:
Louise has got to be kept quiet, Parris.
Parris Mitchell:
I can silence her, Randy.

Kings Row - A Young Couple's Dream of Possibility
Drake McHugh:
Say... No, I guess, we couldn't....That land down by the creek you're so crazy about.
Randy Monaghan:
Oh, I don't know why we couldn't. You've got brains. Of course, you'd have to tell me everything to do, I'm only a woman.
Drake McHugh:
Do you think we should try it?
Randy Monaghan:
You're the boss. Oh, let's, Drake. We can do anything together. We're just a young couple starting out. Others have started on borrowed money.
Drake McHugh:
Wouldn't old Parris be surprised if he came home and found us all set up in business? His money doubled or maybe tripled.
Randy Monaghan:
Hey, go easy.
Drake McHugh:
He wouldn't be ashamed of me then, would he?...He'd be proud of me, wouldn't he, Randy?...He'd be doggone proud of me, wouldn't he?

Kings Row - A Promise of Love and Commitment
Randy Monaghan:
I didn't ask to come into your life, did I?...All right, but then you owe me something. You owe me yourself...I want you to trust yourself entirely to me for a while, until you're up and around.
Drake McHugh:
I can't ever be up and around.
Randy Monaghan:
What has happened is terrible, but you're alive....You're alive and I love you. We're going to do that, but I'd made up my mind about it a long time before this happened. Then after you got hurt, I just had to figure out how, that was all. Remember once you said something about marrying me? Well, I got mad because I guess I'd been a little hurt. I knew you'd never thought about it until just then. Then I shouldn't be blaming you even that much. You never thought about much of anything in those days until you had to. Then, later on, you came down here. Remember the morning you came to ask Pa to help you get a job? Well, I made up my mind that day that I'd marry you, as soon as the right time came around. I guess I was convinced inside by then that you did wanna marry me. I knew I wanted to marry you...So, now the right time has come. We'll get married, and then we'll work out some way what we'll do afterwards.

Kings Row - Love Transformed by Time and Circumstance
Randy Monaghan: [she tears up]
I didn't marry Drake out of pity, Parris...I never loved anyone else. Even in school I never had crushes on boys. I liked them or I didn't. They said naughty things to me and that was all. Aside from that, they treated me as one of themselves. Then that day I saw Drake at the station, well, he simply went to a place in my heart that had been waiting for him. Drake. Oh, Parris! Tall and laughing and going about with his head up. Then after his accident, I knew I had to ask myself a question and answer it. I'd loved Drake wholly. What about that now? What was left of it? I was half afraid I might love him less. That something I couldn't help, something physical, might turn me away from him. There was my question staring at me. Then, in one of your letters, there was a sentence, You must remember now, that Drake lives in a new world and that his relationship with it and with everyone in it will be changed. I knew that applied to Drake and myself, too. An episode of youth and fun had closed, and with it had gone all the demands, forever. I knew then that I didn't love him any less, only differently. With an overwhelming, new, calm feeling, Parris, that so completely took the place of the old excitement that it would last forever.
