Susan [referring to Xanadu]
Oh, a person could go crazy in this dump with nobody to talk to, nobody to have any fun with...49,000 acres of nothin' but scenery and statues. I'm lonesome.

Scenes with Susan
7 scenes Susan Susan Love! You don't love anybody! Me or anybody else! You want to be loved - that's all you want! I'm Charles Foster Kane. Whatever you want - just name it and it's yours! Only love me! Don't expect me to love you.
Charles, if you don't listen to reason, it may be too late.
Too late. For what? For you and this public thief to take the love of the people of this state away from me?
Susan Charlie, you got other things to think about. Your little boy, you don't want him to read about you in the papers.
There's only one person in the world who decides what I'm going to do, and that's me.
You decided what you were going to do, Charles, some time ago.
Susan ...My singin'. I'm through. I never wanted to do it in the first place.
You will continue with your singing, Susan. I don't propose to have myself made ridiculous.
Susan You don't propose to have yourself made ridiculous?! What about me? I'm the one who's got to do the singin'. I'm the one who gets the razzberries. Why don't you let me alone?
Susan Oh sure, you give me things. But that don't mean anything to you.
You're in a tent, darling. You aren't at home. I can hear you very well if you speak in a normal tone of voice.
Susan What's the difference between giving me a bracelet or giving somebody else a hundred thousand dollars for a statue you're gonna keep crated up and never even look at? It's just money, it doesn't mean anything! You never really give me anything that belongs to you, that you care about!
Susan, I want you to stop this.
Susan I'm not gonna stop it.
Right now!
Susan You never gave me anything in your whole life. You just tried to bribe me into giving you something.
Susan!
...Whatever I do, I do because I love you.
Susan You don't love me. You want me to love you. [She mimicks him] 'Sure, I'm Charles Foster Kane. Whatever you want, just name it and it's yours. But you've gotta love me!'
Susan [Kane slaps her.]
Don't tell me you're sorry.
I'm not sorry.
Susan [Susan is leaving Kane]
Goodbye Charlie.
Susan. Please don't go. No. Please, Susan. From now on, everything will be exactly the way you want it to be, not the way I think you want it, but - your way. You mustn't go. You can't do this to me!
Susan I see. So it's you that this is being done to. It's not me at all. Not what it means to me. [laughs] I can't do this to you? [odd smile] Oh, yes I can.
