Their Own Desire

Their Own Desire

[Lally, having just learned from her father that he is divorcing her mother to marry another woman, enters her mother's room.]
Lucia 'Lally' Marlett: Well, he's washed us up...given us the air.
[Mother weeps inconsolably as Lally lights a cigarette.]
Lucia 'Lally' Marlett: Oh, Mother, haven't you any pride?
Harriet Marlett: [between sobs] Oh Lally! What's pride when you care for a man--when you...when you...really...really care?


--Belle Bennett (as Harriet Marlett) in Their Own Desire
