— Don Birnam (Ray Milland)

12 You need this, Don. Drink it. I want you to drink it. I'll get you some more. I'll get you all you want. -What kind of talk is that? -It's just that I'd rather have you drunk than dead.

— Don Birnam (Ray Milland), Helen St. James (Jane Wyman)

13 After all, you're not an embezzler or a murderer. You drink too much and that's not fatal.

— Helen St. James (Jane Wyman)

14 Do you ever lie in you bed looking at the window? A little daylight's coming through, and you start to wonder: is it getting lighter, is it getting darker?

15 Don's a little tight. Most people drink a little. A lot of them get tight once in a while. -Sure. The lucky ones who can take it or leave it. But then there are the ones who can't take it and leave it either.

— Don Birnam (Ray Milland), Helen St. James (Jane Wyman)

— Don Birnam (Ray Milland)

17 Is it dawn or dusk? That's a terrifying problem, Nat. Because if it's dawn, you're dead. The bars are closed and the liquor stores don't open till nine o'clock, and you can't last till nine o'clock.

— Don Birnam (Ray Milland)

18 Nat, are you ever scared when you wake up? So scared the sweat starts out of ya, huh? No, not you. With you it's simple. Your alarm clock goes off and you open your eye and brush your teeth and read the Daily Mirror. That's all.

— Don Birnam (Ray Milland)

19 She went to the hospital. Ruptured appendix. Middle of last night. Went like that! It scared the life out of me. -Oh, that's terrible.

— Gloria (Doris Dowling)

20 That's right, I did have two bottles, didn't I? I hid one of them. I've still got it. I'm a capitalist, Nat! I've got untapped reserves. I'm rich!

— Don Birnam (Ray Milland)
