Frank Orth
(as Hotel Clerk)
Hotel clerk:
There's half as many baths as there is rooms. Half the rooms has bath and half hasn't; that's one way of looking at it. Another is - for each two rooms one has a bath in the middle and the other hasn't - or - you might say - there's a half a bath to each of two rooms.

Good morning, Mr. Masterston!

Judith Anderson
(as Mrs. Ivers)
Mrs. Ivers:
I know why you offered to tutor Martha. I know why you've made Walter do his daily lessons with her. I know why you want him to live here. A scholarship for Walter, that's why! But I'm not a foundation, Mr. O'Neil. I don't care if Walter drives a truck or goes to Harvard. Probably be a lot happier driving a truck.
