Quotes 

• Owen : There, there, now. Don't worry. Tom will be along any second.

  Rufus Collier : If what I think is true, I hope he never comes along.

  Cecilia 'Cee' Henry Collier : What?

  Rufus Collier : Well, I'll, I'll tell you what's in my mind. Heaven knows I don't want it there. That girl he's been living with for the last three years...

  Owen : Just a minute, sir.

  Cecilia 'Cee' Henry Collier : It's alright Owen.

  Rufus Collier : Good Jupiter, it's no secret, is it? Who is she, anyway? What is she?

  Owen : An extremely nice girl. Hard working. Talented. She, she draws for one of the fashion magazines and very successfully. She left three months ago for her magazine's Paris office for an indefinite stay.

• Owen : Well, you know there's a thing called - legal ethics.

  Cecilia 'Cee' Henry Collier : There's a thing called - friendship.

• Owen : On ordinary terms, Tom doesn't seem to have got very far. He's wasted his life from the cradle.

  Cecilia 'Cee' Henry Collier : Aaw, it must have been pathetic to see him wasting at three!

  Rufus Collier : I assure you his genius was shown even then. I send him to Harvard, he lasts two years there. I send him to Oxford, he commutes from Paris. I put him into a bank, he... The whole world is at the feet of that boy, the whole world. And all he's ever done is to run from it.

• Cecilia 'Cee' Henry Collier : Oh, sweet innocent... I should think you'd know by now, that she was just a promiscuous little - oh well.

  Owen : You're a strange girl, Cee. You're a pretty cruel one too.

  Cecilia 'Cee' Henry Collier : Not at all. In fact, I don't see why Tom and she shouldn't be just as good friends as, well, as you and I are.

  Owen : Their history is a little different.

  Cecilia 'Cee' Henry Collier : Why? Don't you like our history?

  Owen : What there is of it. A trifle uneventful, don't you think? Or, should we simply call it, lacking in excitement.
