Quotes from

Cynthia Green: What is the matter with me, Mr. Johnson?
Johnson: Everybody isn't required to like Africa, you know.
Cynthia Green: I try to put on a show because I know he loves it so. But all of it - the hunting, the killing - terrifies me.
Johnson: See here, this thing that he was talking about - the excitement - call it courage. The way he feels, it is a man's feeling, natural in a man, grows in a man, and makes him a man. Not particularly to his credit if he has it but something lacking if he hasn't. A woman shows her courage in other ways, - many ways.


Contessa: Oh, I just devoured your last book!
Harry Street: [sarcastically] Well, I hope it didn't give you a bellyache!


Harry Street: [scoffs] Doctors? It was a wise man who said that if all the medicines were dumped into the sea, it would be a horrible day for the fishes?
