Quotes
-
George Russell : I humor him to get him to reveal his price.
Richard Clay : Suppose he hasn't got one?
George Russell : Oh, he has. He may tease us a little so we raise our offer, but every man living has a price.
-
Ward McAllister : Mr. Russell, how kind of you to open your house.
George Russell : It's for a good cause.
Ward McAllister : A cause that is disrupting New York society. I don't know if that's good or not.
George Russell : Any cause of my wife's is good.
-
George Russell : Oh, I see how it is. You are Saint Michael with a flaming sword, and I am just a greedy robber baron.
-
Bertha Russell : What happened between you and Turner?
George Russell : What did she tell you?
Bertha Russell : Just answer the question.
George Russell : Nothing happened. Except...
Bertha Russell : Except what?
George Russell : She came into my room one night. At first, I thought it was you, but the lamp revealed that I was wrong.
Bertha Russell : Was it just your room, or your bed?
George Russell : My bed.
Bertha Russell : Was she clothed? Answer me!
George Russell : No. But I would never betray you.
Bertha Russell : You already have.
-
George Russell : Is something wrong?
Bertha Russell : You tell me.
George Russell : I'm not in the mood for riddles.
-
Bertha Russell : But you never told me.
George Russell : Because there was nothing to tell.
Bertha Russell : It seems to me there was a great deal to tell.
George Russell : She didn't matter to me in the least, and there was no chance anything was going to happen. But I knew you depended on her. It didn't make sense to blow up the house because of her stupid mistake.
Bertha Russell : So you allowed me to be waited on, to have my hair arranged, my clothes chosen, my bath run by a woman who'd been naked with my husband? It's disgusting!
George Russell : I'm sorry if it was a bad decision.
Bertha Russell : Decision? I call that betrayal!
-
George Russell : [asking Bertha how long she will be mad at him] How long will it be like this?
Bertha Russell : I don't know, George. Betrayal is not like a case of influenza.
George Russell : No, it feels more like a death sentence.
-
George Russell : Life is a dangerous business, Mr. Henderson.
-
George Russell : We cannot make the world a padded cell, even for the comfort of your workers.
-
George Russell : You're being jejune. You know nothing happened. Am I really to be held responsible for Turner's actions?
Bertha Russell : You're responsible for your own inaction.
