The Boy quotes

  • Mr. Heelshire: [about Brahms] Be good to him and he'll be good to you. Be bad to him and...

    Mrs. Heelshire: [interrupting him] Oh... she will be good to him, won't you, Mrs. Evans?

    Greta Evans: Yes, I'll--I'll treat him like my own.

  • [the Heelshires are about to leave the house]

    Mrs. Heelshire: [whispering in Greta's ear as she hugs her goodbye] I'm so sorry.

    Mr. Heelshire: [nerviously] Come along, my dear. It's time we left.
