Quote context

- Oh, this is terrible. Why, I'm outraged! I had no idea he was materialistic like this.

- Why, if you could read his letters. Such ideals, such a lofty point of view. I could quote you passages.

- For instance?

- Well, I'm sorry you feel this way about it. I'd hate to think I'm spoiling your Christmas.

- I'd built up such an illusion about him. I thought he was so perfect.

- I had to come along and destroy it, huh?

- That's alright. I guess I really ought to thank you.

- Klara, if I'd only known in the beginning how you really felt about me things would have been different. I... We wouldn't have been fighting all the time.

- If we did quarrel, it wouldn't have been over suitcases and handbags, but over something like whether your aunt or grandmother should live with us or not.

- It's sweet of you to try to cheer me up.
