1 I buy land, and you don't like that. It threatens the view from your windows.

— Mr Hornblower (Edmund Gwenn)

2 Look here. Don't you make an enemy of me. I haven't been dragged through hell for nothing. Women like me can fight, I can tell you.

3 Now, look here, you've not had occasion to understand men like me. I've got the guts, and I've got the money and I don't sit still on it. I'm going ahead because I believe in meself. I've no use for sentiment and that sort of thing.

— Mr Hornblower (Edmund Gwenn)

4 Well, bad words break no bones, and they're wonderful for hardening the heart. If it wasn't for a lady's presence, I could give you a specimen or two.

— Mr Hornblower (Edmund Gwenn)

5 All right. We'll play what you call a skin game, without gloves on. We won't spare each other.

— Mr Hornblower (Edmund Gwenn)

6 Am I lucky to have no past, ma'am, just the future?

— Mr Hornblower (Edmund Gwenn)

7 Skin game. When we began this fight, we had clean hands. Are they clean now?

8 What is it that gets loose when you start a fight and makes you what you think you're not? Begin as you may, it ends in this skin game.

9 Wonderful improvement we're having in the town, ma'am. I did hear we're having the electric lights soon.

10 Now, this chance may never come again. As the poet says, how we regret it if we don't get it.
