A scene from The Magnificent Ambersons 1942

George

How'd all these ducks get to know you so quick? I really don't see why my mother invited them.

Lucy

Maybe she didn't want to offend their fathers and mothers.

George

I hardly think that my mother need worry about offending anybody in this old town.

Lucy

It must be wonderful, Mr. Amberson, Mr. Minafer, I mean.

George

What must be wonderful?

Lucy

To be so important as that.

George

Oh, that isn't important...Anybody that really is anybody ought to be able to go about as they like in their own town, I should think.

Fanny The important thing is that Wilbur did get her, and not only got her, but kept her. Eugene There's another important thing, that is, for me. In fact, it's the only thing that makes me forgive that bass viol for getting in my way...Lucy. Uncle Jack Eighteen years have passed, but have they?...By gosh, old times certainly are starting all over again. Eugene Old times. Not a bit. There aren't any old times. When times are gone, they're not old, they're dead. There aren't any times but new times. Lucy Do you think George is terribly arrogant and domineering? Eugene Oh, he's still only a boy. Plenty of fine stuff in him. Can't help but be. He's Isabel Amberson's son. Lucy You liked her pretty well once, I guess, Papa. Eugene Yep. Do still.
