Old Acquaintance (1943)

Anne Revere: Belle Carter

Quotes 

• Belle Carter : [to Kit]  Tell me, how is your new book coming along?

  Kit Marlowe : Well, I write and I write, and I still don't like it.

  Belle Carter : But, at least when you do turn one out, it's a gem! None of this grinding them out like sausage...

  Belle Carter : [she realizes that she has just insulted Millie and pauses with embarrassment]  I suppose I could cut my throat.

  Millie Drake : [clearly offended]  There's a knife on the table!

• Preston Drake : They've been a dream come true for Millie. Cigarette?

  Belle Carter : No thank you.

  Preston Drake : She has the house that she wanted. Servants. All the things that women like.

  Belle Carter : You must be very proud of her.

  Preston Drake : Yes, I suppose I am.
