Mr Skeffington

1944

Job Skeffington: A woman is beautiful when she's loved, and only then. Fanny Trellis Skeffington: Nonsense. A woman is beautiful when she has eight hours' sleep and goes to the beauty parlor every day. And bone structure has a lot to do with it too.

Dr Byles: You are one of a vast army of silly women. Capital "S," capital "W."

(first lines) Jim Conderley: Good evening, Soames! Soames: Good evening, Mr Conderley. Jim Conderley: Afraid I'm a little early, aren't I? Soames: Miss Trellis wasn't expecting anyone till 8 o'clock. Jim Conderley: Well, I thought I'd come a little ahead of time; have a little chat with Miss Fanny. Soames: Sorry, sir; she's still dressing. Jim Conderley: All right, all wait.

(last lines) Fanny Skeffington: Manby, would you call Janie Clarkson and tell her I can't possibly see her for lunch today? Manby: (laughing) Yes, Mrs Skeffington.

Trippy Trellis: (interrupting Mr Skeffington) Oh, now I'm about to be challenged. He's gonna throw his cheque book in my face! Trippy Trellis: (moments later) If Skeffington's a gentleman, then a swine is what I want to be.
