Quotes 

  • Charles Richmond : All our years of marriage she never once raised her voice at me, never tried to wheedle anything out of me. She was... remarkable.

    Maria Marcello : You were a lucky man.

    Charles Richmond : She died in great pain. A kind nature is no defense in sickness and death. So... what's the point of it?

  • Charles Richmond : [about Tony]  Just look at him, Miss Marcello. Observe those lily-white hands if you please. Good for nothing except driving Jaguars and seducing women.

    Anthony Richmond : Don't you wish you could still do either, Uncle?

  • Charles Richmond : Where's that nurse? I need the nurse.

    Anthony Richmond : Ah, the nurse is coming, Uncle.

    Charles Richmond : I want a pretty nurse. None of those blasted battleaxes. Last one they sent me, a hag. Mustache! Ate goat's cheese all day and stank of it.

  • Charles Richmond : Enjoy your life. enjoy it. It would make you happy. I insist you are happy.

    Maria Marcello : Oh Charles, how can you order people to be happy?

  • Charles Richmond : You wash regularly, Miss, um...

    Maria Marcello : Yes, Mr. Richmond, I wash regularly. It is necessary in my job.

    Charles Richmond : That's all right, then. Smells good. None of that goat's cheese nonsense, thank God. No mustache.

  • Charles Richmond : How do you suppose a man like me provides himself with agreeable, feminine company? Sends money to a mail order service? Has someone fished out of the typing pool for me? Not easy. One has to be careful. But I am very pleased with you, Miss Marcello. Very pleased indeed.

  • Charles Richmond : Trust? Nonsense. Don't trust anyone.

  • [first lines] 

    Charles Richmond : Leave me.

  • Maria Marcello : My patient died last night.

    Charles Richmond : Died on you? So you kill them off, do you? Well, you won't get me!

  • Anthony Richmond : She's here.

    Charles Richmond : About time, too. Let's have a look at her. Mustache again, I daresay. Sweaty armpits.

  • Charles Richmond : That's right. You go, Miss Marcello. Up to your room. And tomorrow, clear that uniform! Make yourself look like a woman! Nice and desirable. Rustle, crackle and swish! Do you hear?

  • Charles Richmond : I think I'll leave you to it, my dear. I can't stand the sight of these sharks gulping my champagne.

  • Maria Marcello : Perhaps there are things about - about a woman which you don't fully understand.

    Charles Richmond : Perhaps.

  • Charles Richmond : Splendid transmission from Milan. Just putting that bit onto tape. Something to do when I'm alone. Can you tell what that is?

    Maria Marcello : Beethoven?

    Charles Richmond : Yes, but what? What?

    Maria Marcello : Oh, you know I'm no good at guessing.

    Charles Richmond : "Fidelio". Oh, so full of life, vitality! Story of a devoted wife. "Fidelio".

  • Maria Marcello : Let it go. It's not worth it.

    Charles Richmond : It's always worth it.

  • Charles Richmond : It will be good to be in England again. Something about the country makes me more at ease than any other place. Always has, since I was young. I'm not sure why. Hmm. Of course, I used to walk then. Country roads.

  • Charles Richmond : You disapprove of formality, Miss Marcello? Or do you object to my servants, perhaps? Know why I use them? I'll tell you. They serve. Hundreds of years of waiting on the white man. In their blood: service. Thing of the past for us. Everybody is a master. No sense of duty anymore, no respect. A negro may no longer know his place here or in America. But in Africa, you can still find some who do. Eh, Thomas? Mmm. Fine, primitive creature, Thomas. No aspirations, no education, but he knows what's what. Don't you, boy?
