3 quotes
Elise McKenna The man of my dreams has almost faded now. The one I have created in my mind. The sort of man each woman dreams of, in the deepest and most secret reaches of her heart. I can almost see him now before me. What would I say to him if he were really here? "Forgive me. I have never known this feeling. I have lived without it all my life. Is it any wonder, then, I failed to recognize you? You, who brought it to me for the first time. Is there any way I can tell you how my life have changed? Any way at all to let you know what sweetness you have given me? There is so much to say... I cannot find the words. Except for these: I love you." Such would I say to him if he were really here.
Elise McKenna [Cryptically to Richard, as an old woman on the night of her death, prompting him to wonder who she was, and to eventually discover a photograph of her as a young woman.]
Come back to me.
Elise McKenna [To Richard as he walks up to her by the lake]
Is it you?

Elise McKenna [seeing Richard for the first time]
Is it you? Is it?
Elise McKenna Yes, yes, I'm quite all right.
I'm sorry if I startled you.
Elise McKenna No, you didn't startle me.
[to Elise]
I'll take you into dinner now.
May I speak to you please?
[Elise leaves the lake]
WF Willlam Fawcett Robinson
Are you a guest here, sir?
Are you a guest at the hotel?
[sternly]
Then I must ask you to stop annoying Miss McKenna any further. If you do not, I shall see that you're put out. [walks back to Elise]
Elise McKenna What did you say to him?
Oh, what I've always said to men of his sort. [points her to the hotel]
Elise McKenna Have you been waiting all this time for our return?
This is hardly the time to discuss, McKenna.
Elise McKenna Have you?
Yes. Does that surprise you?
Elise McKenna Our relationship is strictly business.
Elise McKenna I'm involved with you as an actress, Mr. Robinson, not a doormat. Do not attempt to wipe your boots on me. Richard, I shall leave a ticket for you at the theater door.
[Richard leaves her room]
[about Richard]
I must admit. He was somewhat more charming than other that we've encountered in the past, you and I. A trifle more sincere, perhaps.
Elise McKenna Then he wasn't the one that you spoke of?
Elise McKenna Then you were wrong about him, weren't you? You're wrong. I love him, and he's going to make me very happy. Do you understand that, William? I love him.
What difference... can that make now? He's gone.
Elise McKenna [coldly]
I'll find him, William. Don't you dare try to stop me. Now, if you will excuse me while I change.
Of course. May I remind you... that we leave within the hour? [leaves her dressing room]
