Mr. Skeffington (1944)

Job Skeffington: [to Fanny, when she reprimands him for being unfaithful] You mustn't be too harsh on my secretaries. They were always very understanding when I came to the office after a hard day at home.

---

Dr. Byles: I'm sorry to have to have to be so blunt with you, Mrs. Skeffington, but you're one of a vast army of silly women. Capital "S". Capital "W". You're over dressed, you're over made-up and you're most certainly over perfumed.
Fanny Trellis Skeffington: Dr. Byles, you are the rudest man I have ever met.
Dr. Byles: Did you come here to consult a gentlemen or a doctor?
Fanny Trellis Skeffington: I strongly suspect that you are neither!

---

Fanny Skeffington: I find one should never look for admirers while at the same time one is falling to bits.
