Mr. Skeffington (1944)

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!

Edward Morrison: Haven't you been reading the paper?
Jim Conderley: Of course! I never seem to get around to reading the front page though.
