The Locket
1946
Mrs Wendall: Do you approve of foolish marriages? Mr Wendall: Certainly. They alienate relatives.
Norman Clyde: I don't take money for nothing. I'm not conducting a class so the parasitic rich can escape boredom. I'm not that hard up. Nancy Monks Blair Patton: Well, I hope you never will be, Mr Clyde. I admire your principles. I wish I could say the same for your disposition.
Norman Clyde: I really didn't mean to be offensive. Nancy Monks Blair Patton: That hardly seems possible.
Drew Bonner: I always listen to Nancy. She has such excellent taste. Norman Clyde: I congratulate you, Mr Bonner. Most rich people make the mistake of relying on their own.
Nancy Monks Blair Patton: When you're a housekeeper's daughter, you see the world through a half-open door.
Nancy Monks Blair Patton: (with the locket Karen gave her) Thank you, God. I will never ask you for anything again.
Nancy Monks Blair Patton: How could I ever have liked you, Norman - arrogant, suspicious, neurotic... Norman Clyde: It isn't neurotic to be jealous. Nancy Monks Blair Patton: It's worse than neurotic to be jealous of a dead man.
Norman Clyde: Save that for him. He'll need it. You've got him just where you want him. He's going to make all the mistakes I did.
Norman Clyde: I guess that's it, doc. I took those pills you gave me. Remarkable pills. Just woke up a few minutes ago. Slept right through the execution.
Norman Clyde: In the eyes of the world you're a smart psychiatrist. Your opinions are worth listening to, but I'm just a mixed-up patient. Dr Harry Blair: And you'd like it to be the other way around, wouldn't you? Norman Clyde: No. I don't mind being mixed-up. My conscience is clear. I did all I could to save a man's life. You did what you could to prevent me. Dr Harry Blair: Oh, that's fine, if you see it that way. I've done you a service. Norman Clyde: That's right. It's on your conscience now.
