Waterloo Bridge quotes

  • Lady Margaret Cronin: Forgive me, my dear, but, are you quite well?

    Myra Lester: Yes-yes, of course. I had a drink, that's all, it made me feel funny, queer! What's it like in Scotland? I've never been there. It always sounds so quaint, you know, the heather and the peat. Ha-ha. Peat comes from Ireland, doesn't it. I've never been there, either.

  • Myra Lester: How have we been living?

    Kitty: What difference does it make, as long as we live.

    Myra Lester: Where's the money coming from? Where are you getting it?

    Kitty: Where do you think I've been getting it? I was trying to keep it from you, but - well, you know now.

    Myra Lester: You did it for me.

    Kitty: No I didn't! I'd a done it anyhow. C'est La Guerre. No jobs. No boys who want to marry you. Only men who want to kill a few hours, 'cause they know it may be their last.
