Abe Lincoln in Illinois - A Tense Moment Between Lincoln and Mary Todd
Abraham Lincoln:
Why do you take every opportunity you can to make a public fool out of me and yourself? It's bad enough when you act like that in the privacy of our own home, but here in front of people! You're not to do that again, do you hear? You're never to do that again!
Mary Todd Lincoln:
You never spoke to me like that before. You lost your temper, Abe... you've never done that before.
Abraham Lincoln:
I'm sorry. I still think you should go home rather than stay here and endure the strain of this Death Watch.
Mary Todd Lincoln:
This is the night I dreamed about when I was a child... when I was an excited young girl and all the gay young gentlemen of Springfield were courting me... and I fell in love with the least likely of them. This is the night I'm waiting to hear that my husband is become President of the United States... and even if he does, it's ruined for me. It's too late.

License, lady?

How long you been driving, lady?

About 45 minutes, wouldn't you say, Harold? We were hoping to start sooner; but, you see, it's rather hard to find a truck.
Motorcycle Officer:
This your truck?
Maude:
Oh, no, I just took it.

Harold and Maude - The Value of Experiences Over Attachments
Harold:
You hop in any car you want and just drive off?
Maude:
Well, not any car. I like to keep a variety. I'm always looking for the new experience.
Harold:
Maybe. Nevertheless, I think you're upsetting people. I don't know if that's right.
Maude:
Well, if some people get upset because they feel they have a hold on some things, I'm merely acting as a gentle reminder: here today, gone tomorrow, so don't get attached to things. Now, with that in mind, I'm not against collecting stuff...
