Ladies in Retirement Quotes:

Emily Creed: I won't swear on the Bible. It's wicked.
Ellen Creed: It takes a lot of courage to kill for the first time, Albert. Once you've sold your soul to the devil, it becomes easier. Much easier.
Leonora Fiske: Ellen, you're a hypocrite! You're worse! You're a cheat! You meant to foist your wretched brood upon me and bleed me white! And when I saw through your little scheme, you had the insolence to turn on me and abuse me! But you've chosen the wrong woman! You get those sisters of yours out of the house at once! And you take a month's wages and go with them.
Louisa Creed: I hate the dark. It frightens me.
Sister Theresa: It shouldn't, my dear. Don't you believe we're watched over?
Louisa Creed: Oh yes. But I'm never quite sure who's watching us.
Albert Feather: Well, Auntie, where's your cane? From the look on your face, I'd say that you're about to take down my britches and give me a dozen.
