John Douglas Cheever:
I was willing you to come to me, and you have. So it's alright, but don't send me away again because I won't go.
Lucia 'Lally' Marlett: Send you away? Do you think I want to send you away, Jacky? John Douglas Cheever: I've got the little ol' canoe down at the landing; let me run you over to the little ol' love nest.

[Lally, having just learned from her father that he is divorcing her mother to marry another woman, enters her mother's room.]
Lucia 'Lally' Marlett: Well, he's washed us up...given us the air. [Mother weeps inconsolably as Lally lights a cigarette.] Lucia 'Lally' Marlett: Oh, Mother, haven't you any pride? Harriet Marlett: [between sobs] Oh Lally! What's pride when you care for a man--when you...when you...really...really care?
