    Dark Victory quotes

    • Dr. Frederick Steele: [as he enters their home] How are you Ann?

      [Ann runs upstairs]

      Dr. Frederick Steele: Did I stumble into something?

      Judith: Yes. We were on the verge of a jealous scene about you.

      Dr. Frederick Steele: What?

      Judith: [gently grabbing Frederick's hand] Darling - poor fool - don't you know I'm in love with you?...

      [they enter the other room and order some tea from the maid]

      Judith: ... Sorry.

      Dr. Frederick Steele: You couldn't have said anything I wanted to hear more. Judi dear, I love you so much.

      [they embrace tenderly and the scene fades out]

    • Dr. Frederick Steele: [Out to dinner, after Judith has inadvertently learned the truth about her health] Would you mind telling me what this is all about?

      Judith: Why don't you tell me? Why *didn't* you tell me?

      [looks at the menu briefly]

      Judith: Well I, I think I'll have a large order of *prognosis negative*!

      Ann King: What do you mean?

      Judith: You know, monsieur, s'il vous plaît. 'Prognosis negative'. You know what 'prognosis negative' means, doctor? Explain to her, or have you? It means a few months of pretending you're well, then blindness, then...

      Ann King: Wait, Judith, we can't talk in here.

      Judith: Oh yes we can. It was a question of humoring the patient, wasn't it? Give the poor dear anything she wants - time's so short, marry her if necessary. I know now why you went to his office that day: to beg him to marry me out of pity. You're kind, Dr. Steele, you're *both* so kind. So long my friends!

      [Frederick and Ann try to stop her, but she storms out of the restaurant]
