Quote context

[...]

- When I read you were gonna marry Kittredge, I couldn't believe it. That's why I'm here. How in the world can you even think of it?

- Because he's everything you're not. He's been poor, he's had to work and he's had to fight for everything. And I love him as I never even began to love you.

- Maybe so, but I doubt it. I think it's just a swing from me. But it's too violent a swing.

- Kittredge is no great tower of strength, you know. He's just a tower.

- You hardly know him.

- Well, to hardly know him is to know him well.

- And perhaps it offends my vanity to have anyone who was even remotely my wife remarry so obviously beneath her.

- How dare you, any of you, in this day and age, use such an idiotic...?

- I'm talking about the difference in mind and spirit.

- You could marry Mac, the night watchman, I'd cheer for you.

- Kittredge is not for you.

- You bet he's for me. He's a great man and a good man. Already he's of national importance.
