Quotes 

• Phillip Weeks : [Confronting the creeps at the newspaper - Hinchecliffe, Randall, Isopod - whose sensationalistic tabloid journalism destroyed his wife's parents]  You needn't be frightened. There won't be any more murders. And it won't do any good to tell you what you've done. You'll go on hunting down little, unimportant people who can't fight back. You'll go on with your filthy newspaper pulling the clothing off women and selling their naked souls for two cents. You've grown rich on filth - and no one's ever dared rise up and crush you out.

  Phillip Weeks : But remember this: if you ever mention my wife's name in your rotten paper again, I'll hunt you down and kill you!

• Mrs. Isobel Weeks : We have just told this girl, that this wedding must be indefinitely postponed.

  Phillip Weeks : [taken aback; confronts his mother]  "We"? Just who are "we"?

  Arthur Weeks : Phillip, I don't like your tone!

  Phillip Weeks : I don't mean to be rude, but when it comes to my marriage, I'll settle that myself.

  Arthur Weeks : I don't like to make threats, but unless you listen to reason, I'll...

  Phillip Weeks : ...you'll disinherit me, I suppose. Well, go ahead and do it.

  Phillip Weeks : [to his mother]  You were willing yesterday for me to marry Jenny, and she's the same girl today as she was then. It's just your stinking snobbery that's changed your minds!

  Mrs. Isobel Weeks : Phillip, don't be crude. I *will not* take into my family the daughter of a murderess.

  Phillip Weeks : [glares at her]  I think you're the coldest, most brutal woman I've ever known.

  Arthur Weeks : [slaps Phillip across the face; gestures to his wife for them to leave]  Come now.
