Laura Roberts: [seeing Elise return home]
How is the play? Did you enjoy it? Are you all right?
Arthur Biehl: [seeing Richard dying]
Such a fine man. What a shame. I wonder what happened to him.

Mrs. Miniver - A Proposal Interrupted by Dinner
Toby Miniver:
Are you going to marry Carol, Vin?
Vin Miniver:
Well, since you bring it up, Toby... I haven't had the nerve to ask her.
Toby Miniver:
Why not? You're brave, aren't you?
Judy Miniver:
Don't be so silly, Toby. Gentlemen don't propose when they're eating.
Toby Miniver:
Why not?
Judy Miniver:
Well, it isn't romantic.
Vin Miniver:
Of course it isn't.
Carol Beldon:
Toby.
Toby Miniver:
What?
Carol Beldon:
Why don't you ask me if I'm going to marry Vin?
Toby Miniver:
Are you?
Carol Beldon:
If he asks me.
Toby Miniver:
He's afraid.

Mrs. Miniver - The Limits of Knowledge and Action
Carol Beldon:
I know how comfortable it is to curl up with a nice, fat book full of big words and think you're going to solve all the problems in the universe. But you're not, you know. A bit of action is required every now and then.

The Best Years of Our Lives - Struggles and Adjustments After War Experience
Marie Derry: [to Fred]
Oh, you're marvelous. All those ribbons. You gotta tell me what they all mean.
Marie Derry: [To Peggy]
Never mind the romantic part of it. That takes care of itself. And I'm speaking from experience. They'll tell you money isn't everything. Well, maybe it isn't, but boy how it helps! Do you know that while Fred was away, I was drawing over five hundred dollars a month, I mean, from his Army pay and the job I had. Now the two of us got to live on what Fred gets from being a drugstore cowboy - thirty two fifty a week. Poor Fred. I guess you think he's an awful sourpuss. He didn't used to be that way, though. The Army's had an awful effect on him - knocked all the life out of him...You can't have happy marriages on that kind of dough.
Milly Stephenson: [to Al]
All right Sergeant. Gosh, you got tough.
Mr. Milton: [to Al]
There's considerable uncertainty in the business picture. Strikes, taxes still ruinous...Oh, things will readjust themselves in time. We want you back here in the saddle. You're the man for it...Your war experience will prove invaluable to us here. See, we have many new problems. This GI Bill of Rights, for instance. It involves us in consideration of all kinds of loans to ex-servicemen. We need a man who understands the soldier's problems. And at the same time, who's well grounded in the fundamental principles of sound banking. In other words, you.
Homer Parrish: [to neighborhood kids; He smashes his two hook-fists through the window]
You want to see how the hooks work? Do you want to see the freak? All right, I'll show ya! Take a good look.
Peggy Stephenson: [to Milly, about Fred]
He said he's sorry for what happened but it was just one of those things. He said it wouldn't be fair to his wife for us to see each other anymore because I'm obviously the kind of girl that takes these things too seriously. Then he said goodbye very politely and hung up. Well, I guess you and Dad don't have to worry about me anymore. That's the end of my career as a homewrecker. Mom, I know you feel sorry for me. You think my poor little heart is broken, but you can save your sympathy. I can see things clearer now. I made a fool of myself. I'm getting some sense hammered into me now. I'm glad I'm out of that mess. I'm glad I'll never see him again.
Pat Derry: [to his wife, reading Fred's citations]
Headquarters, Eighth Air Force. Award of the Distinguished Flying Cross...Despite intense pain, shock, and loss of blood, with complete disregard of his personal safety, Captain Derry crawled back to his bombsight, guided his formation on a perfect run over the objective, and released his bombs with great accuracy. The heroism, devotion to duty, professional skill, and coolness under fire displayed by Captain Derry under the most difficult conditions reflect highest credit upon himself and the Armed Forces of the United States of America. By command of Lieutenant General Doolittle.
