Payment on Demand (1951) Poster

Jane Cowl: Mrs. Hedges

Quotes 

  • Mrs. Emily Hedges : Be careful, Joyce. When a woman starts getting old, time can be the avalanche and loneliness - a disaster.

  • Joyce Ramsey : Your home is lovely, Mrs Hedges.

    Mrs. Emily Hedges : Are you satisfied now?

    Joyce Ramsey : Satisfied? I don't understand.

    Mrs. Emily Hedges : Oh yes you do, my dear. You understand perfectly. You've been angling for months to be invited here. Did you think I didn't know? You've done all the proper things. Let me beat you at bridge, flattered me about my clothes, laughed at my jokes.

    Joyce Ramsey : You're smarter than I thought you were, or I'm less subtle than I thought I was. Your clothes are good, but you're a dull bridge player. I did want to come here - I wanted my husband to meet your husband.

    Mrs. Emily Hedges : Well, they've done that. What's next?

    Joyce Ramsey : David may need financing. He may need business advice. If your husband likes him, he'll help him.

    Mrs. Emily Hedges : You are a ruthless climber aren't you? You won't be a nobody. You'll connive, manage, manoeuvre, do whatever is necessary.

    Joyce Ramsey : Naturally I'm interested in my husband's career.

    Mrs. Emily Hedges : Step over anyone to help it, won't you?

    Joyce Ramsey : Would you like us to leave, Mrs Hedges?

    Mrs. Emily Hedges : No, Joyce - I can't help thinking how you remind me of myself at your age.

    Joyce Ramsey : No wonder you recognised my technique.

    Mrs. Emily Hedges : Recognised it? My dear, I invented it!
