Quotes 

  • Sam Dodsworth : You'll have to stop getting younger someday.

  • Sam Dodsworth : Love has got to stop some place short of suicide.

  • [last lines] 

    Fran Dodsworth : Are you going back to that washed-out expatriate in Naples?

    Sam Dodsworth : Yes, and when I marry her, I'm going back to doing things.

    Fran Dodsworth : Do you think you'll ever get me out of your blood?

    Sam Dodsworth : Maybe not, but love has got to stop someplace short of suicide.

    [Dodsworth runs to the gangplank and jumps on just as it is lowered away from the ship. The boat whistle sounds] 

    Steward : But the gentleman will miss the boat!

    Fran Dodsworth : [shouting above the boat whistle]  HE'S GONE ASHORE! HE'S GONE ASHORE!

  • Edith Cortright : Would you like to enjoy life for a while?

    Sam Dodsworth : Show me how.

  • Sam Dodsworth : I want to sit under a Linden tree with nothing more important to worry about but the temperature of the beer. If there is anything more important.

  • Sam Dodsworth : I've never been across before. I got excited. I took one look at that light and all the things I've ever read about England came to light. The town behind it with those flat-faced brick houses and a cart crawling up a hill between high hedges and Jane Austen and Oliver Twist and Sherlock Holmes. England. Mother England. Home.

  • Edith Cortright : I used to be a British subject by marriage. I don't know that one can be a British subject by divorce. I expect I'm just a woman who lives in Italy.

    Sam Dodsworth : Oh, do people live in Italy?

    Edith Cortright : There are countless Italians.

    Sam Dodsworth : Oh, no, no, I mean, people like you.

    Edith Cortright : I live in Italy by the thousands, Mr. Dodsworth.

    Sam Dodsworth : Why?

    Edith Cortright : It's cheap!

  • Sam Dodsworth : You want to divorce me then?

    Fran Dodsworth : Why should I want to divorce you? You're my husband.

    Sam Dodsworth : You couldn't very well divorce me if I weren't.

  • Sam Dodsworth : We'll have to learn to behave ourselves, when we'll be a couple of old grandparents in December.

  • Edith Cortright : Break away from your hotel. Forget about Vienna. Move out here to me.

    Sam Dodsworth : Out to you?

    Edith Cortright : Yes. I can't make you as comfortable as your hotel does. When you want a bath, you'll have to choose between the tin tub and the Mediterranean. But, if you like swimming and fishing and a willing listener...

    Sam Dodsworth : That's very kind of you, Mrs. Cortright, and mighty friendly; but, I don't see how I could?

    Edith Cortright : Why not?

    Sam Dodsworth : What'd your neighbors think?

    Edith Cortright : Being Italians, they think a great deal.

    Sam Dodsworth : Exactly.

    Edith Cortright : Oh! But, that doesn't mean it would have to be so! Or, that I'd have it so even if you wanted it so.

  • Fran Dodsworth : Oh, you're hopeless - you haven't the mistiest notion of civilization.

    Sam Dodsworth : Yeah, well maybe I don't think so much of it, though. Maybe clean hospitals, concrete highways, and no soldiers along the Canadian border come near my idea of civilization.

  • Sam Dodsworth : I cabled her to come and she doesn't say one word about me going over.

    Matey Pearson : She's thoughtless.

    Sam Dodsworth : No she's not, Matey. She's scared.

    Matey Pearson : Fran's scared? What of?

    Sam Dodsworth : Of growing old.

    Matey Pearson : That's very smart of you, Sam.

  • Sam Dodsworth : Setting up that motor's the first real fun I've had since I quit business, and it's got me raring to go all over again for the first time.

    Edith Cortright : To go?

    Sam Dodsworth : You bet!

    Edith Cortright : Away from here?

    Sam Dodsworth : Any place where I can get back in harness. Get in on something new, the way they did with automobiles when they began 30 years ago. Thought I might try my hand at aviation. The idea of a Moscow to Seattle airline kinda' strikes me.

    Edith Cortright : [slightly incredulous]  Moscow to Seattle?

    Sam Dodsworth : Yeah, buy in on a transcontinental connection. Then, with these transcontinental flights coming on so well, say, I might be the first man with his first round-the-world system. The Soviet people seem agreeable.

  • Sam Dodsworth : What good does your patootie do me?

  • Fran Dodsworth : They all belong to the smartest crowd in Paris.

    Sam Dodsworth : Fran, do you think the real thing in Paris would hang out with a couple of hicks like us? All right, now, what else are we? I'm just an ordinary American businessman and I married the daughter of a Zenith brewer.

  • Sam Dodsworth : Why won't you sit at a cafe with me?

    Fran Dodsworth : Smart people don't.

    Sam Dodsworth : I'm not smart.

    Fran Dodsworth : I am.

    Sam Dodsworth : You ought to be smart enough not to care what people think.

  • Arnold Iselin : Let me remind you that Shakespeare's Othello ends badly for the hero.

    Sam Dodsworth : I'm not Othello. This is not the Middle Ages. None of us speak blank verse, not even you.

  • Fran Dodsworth : Oh, Sam, I'm just a woolly American like you after all, and if you ever catch me trying to be anything else, will you beat me?

    Sam Dodsworth : Well, will I have to beat you very long at a time?

  • Fran Dodsworth : [to Sam, as he's gotten on board the train]  Do try not to be too dreadfully lonely, will you?

    Sam Dodsworth : Did I remember to tell you today that I adore you?

    [train departs] 

  • Fran Dodsworth : Oh, Sammy, darling, I want all the lovely things I have a right to. In Europe, a woman of my age is just getting to the point where men begin to take a serious interest in. I won't be put on the shelf for my daughter when I can still dance longer and better than she can. After all, I've got brains and thank heaven I still got looks. Nobody takes me for over 32, 30 even. Of, Sammy, darling, I'm begging for life. No I'm not, I'm demanding it.

    Sam Dodsworth : I see how you feel. All right, I'll enjoy life now if it kills me and it probably will.

  • Sam Dodsworth : Do you realize this is the first time we've ever really started out together as lovers?

  • Edith Cortright : Drifting isn't nearly so pleasant as it looks.

    Sam Dodsworth : If you don't like it, why don't you give it up?

    Edith Cortright : One drifts for lack of a reason to do anything else.

    Sam Dodsworth : Well, what do you want?

    Edith Cortright : What do you suppose any Ione woman wants?

  • Fran Dodsworth : You like that woman, don't you?

    Sam Dodsworth : You thought she was the most distinguished-Iooking woman on the boat.

    Fran Dodsworth : Seems a frump in Paris.

  • Kurt Von Obersdorf : I brought you a box of real Havana cigars.

    Sam Dodsworth : Very kind of you, Kurt.

    Kurt Von Obersdorf : Smuggled through without duty. Tonight I take you to a *very* gay restaurant with very good food.

  • Edith Cortright : You're busy...

    Sam Dodsworth : I've got nothing to do but look at ruined temples. They'll keep. They've kept this long.

  • Sam Dodsworth : It's giving you up that hurts.

  • Edith Cortright : Let's sit down, if you've got a moment.

    Sam Dodsworth : Time is something I have nothing else but.

  • [first lines] 

    Secretary : [offscreen]  Mr. Dodsworth?

    Sam Dodsworth : Yes.

    Secretary : The men are ready.

  • Matey Pearson : Who's Arnold Iselin?

    Sam Dodsworth : He's one of those custom-built internationals you see in the rotogravure section every Sunday.

  • Sam Dodsworth : I'm sorry, Fran, I hate undercover work myself, but I wouldn't have gotten where I have in this world if it hadn't been in me to be a bit ruthless on occasion.

  • Fran Dodsworth : Just think, Sammy, you're free! After 20 years of doing what was expected of us, we're free.

    Sam Dodsworth : I'm just as keen on this trip as you are. I'm rarin' to go. I've always wanted to see London and Paris.

    Fran Dodsworth : I want much more than a trip out of this, Sam. I want a new life, all over from the very beginning. A perfectly glorious, free, adventurous life. It's coming to us. We've done our job.

  • Sam Dodsworth : You flew? I don't want you flying around in airplanes. I'm not taking any chances on you.

  • Edith Cortright : We were just hopping off - where?

    Sam Dodsworth : Siberia. Pick out landing fields. No ramifications. A line from Irkutsk to Tashkent and Samarkand. Swell name, Samarkand. Say, if those Soviet boys will let me...
