QUOTES FROM Margaret Sullavan CHARACTERS

Pat Hollmann	This is a lovely time of day.
Erich Lohkamp	It isn't day, it isn't night.
Pat Hollmann	It's the edge of eternity. Let's stay right here, forever.

Pat Hollmann

Alfons' Bar is exactly the place for a girl like me.

Klara Novak	All my knowledge came from books, and I'd just finished a novel about a glamorous French actress from the Comedie Francaise. That's atheater in France. When she wanted to arouse a man's interest, she treated him like a dog.
Alfred Kralik	Yes. Well... you treated me like a dog.
Klara Novak	Yes. But instead of licking my hand... you barked.

Alfred Kralik	There might be a lot we don't know about each other. You know, people seldom go to the trouble of scratching the surface of things to find the inner truth.
Klara Novak	Well I really wouldn't care to scratch your surface, Mr. Kralik, because I know exactly what I'd find. Instead of a heart, a hand-bag. Instead of a soul, a suitcase. And instead of an intellect, a cigarette lighter... which doesn't work.

Alfred Kralik	Do you know what I wish would happen? When your bell rings at 8:30 and you open the door... instead of Popkin, I come in.
Klara Novak	Please don't make it more difficult for me.
Alfred Kralik	I'd say, "Klara, darling."
Alfred Kralik	I'd say, 'Klara, darling.'
Klara Novak	No, you mustn't.

Alfred Kralik	Klara, if I'd only known in the beginning how you felt about me... things would have been different. We wouldn't have been fighting all the time. If we quarreled, it wouldn't have been over suitcases and handbags... but over something like whether your aunt or grandmother... should live with us or not.
Klara Novak	It's sweet of you to try to cheer me up.

Alfred Kralik	Klara! Klara! Miss Novak!
Klara Novak	Coming!
Alfred Kralik	How are you today?
