- On the contrary. The young man's outlook has merely become somewhat confused, shall we say?
- And you'll straighten it out for him.
- We shall try, shan't we?
- But why hasn't he a right to live part of his life as he wants to?

Quote context

[...]

- Your future, Julia? What do you want, just security? Sit back smugly in your bank vault among the worthies of the world?

- Well, one thing I don't want is to start this endless, aimless discussion all over again.

- Julia. You've only 20 minutes in which to dress.

- Linda, did you hear me?

- Father, I think you're both giving Johnny the rottenest kind of a deal.

- In what way?

- Well, in every way. Why, you're not thinking of what's best for him at all.

- On the contrary. The young man's outlook has merely become somewhat confused, shall we say?

- And you'll straighten it out for him.

- We shall try, shan't we?

- But why hasn't he a right to live part of his life as he wants to?

- Linda, I should like to understand what he and you are aiming at, but I confess, I cannot.

- I consider his whole attitude un-American.

- Are you serious?

- Entirely.

- Well, then he is and he won't go to heaven when he dies because apparently he can't quite believe that a life devoted to piling up money is all it's cracked up to be.

- Strange, isn't it? When he has us right before his eyes for such a shining example?

- Linda, I listened most attentively the other day to our young dreamer, and I still must confess that the talk of the two of you seems to me of the 17-year-old variety.

- I'm glad if it is. We're all grand at 17. It's after that, that sickness sets in.

Top rated lines from this movie

Yooo-oh! Bad echo.
Oh, I've got all the faith in the world in Johnny. Whatever he does is all right with me. If he wants to dream for a while, he can dream for a while, and if he wants to come back and sell peanuts, oh, how I'll believe in those peanuts.
What special virtue this room has I'm sure I don't know. -You don't, do you? No, you can't. Well, I'll tell you. This room's my home. It's the only home I've got. There's something here that I understand and that understands me. Maybe it's Mother.
The world is changing out there. There's a lot of new, exciting ideas running around. Some of them might be right and some might be cockeyed, but they're affecting all our lives.
Well, I feel like a goat being prepared for the sacrifice. -Baaa! -Now, that's a sheep.
