A scene from The Magnificent Ambersons 1942
Isabel

Lucy's on a visit, Father. She's spending a week with a school friend.

Eugene

She'll be back Monday.

Fanny

George, how does it happen you didn't tell us before? He never said a word to us about Lucy going away!

Major Amberson

Probably afraid to. Didn't know that he might break down and cry if we tried to speak of it, isn't that so, Georgie? [He laughs at George]

Fanny

[to George]

Or didn't Lucy tell you that she was going?

George

She told me!

Major Amberson

At any rate, Georgie didn't approve. I suppose you two aren't speaking again. Ha, ha, ha, ha.

George Fair! Fair when he says that he and you don't care what people say? But you're my mother. You're an Amberson. Isabel We'll go away for a while, you and I. Isabel It's changed. It's so changed. Uncle Jack You mean, you mean the town? You mean the old place has changed, don't you dear? Isabel Yes. Uncle Jack It will change to a happier place, old dear, now that you're back. You're going to get well here. Uncle Jack Nobody has a good name in a bad mouth! Nobody has a good name in a silly mouth, either.
