Jenny Hager
- Lena Tempest: Honey, listen, with your looks you don't have to worry. You can get the youngest and best-looking man on the pier.
- Jenny Hager: I don't want the youngest. I want the richest.
- John Evered: Come back with me, to his shack. I want you to face him. Now.
- Jenny Hager: But, the rain! You know what happens to the roads in the rain.
- John Evered: Yes, they get very muddy; but they don't change the direction.
- Jenny Hager: [contemptuously to Ephraim] You can't come into this house, you wretched coward! You killed your father!
- Jenny Hager: Your mother must be a wonderful woman. I hope that someday you'll say that I'm just like her.
- John Evered: That won't be easy. Mother had nine boys.
- Jenny Hager: Why does everything frighten you? You're going to make me very angry - and if I get angry and go on wanting you the way I do, I might tell him what happened between us.
- Ephraim Poster: Nothing has happened between us.
- Jenny Hager: [referring to his father] No, but which of us will he believe?
- Jenny Hager: This isn't the life I was born for. Men like me. And it's the men who have the money in this world.
- Jenny Hager: I know Mr. Poster wants me. I made him want me. What do you think of that?
- Tim Hager: There's a devil in you, Jenny Hager. A devil straight from the bad place. And I'm going to whip him out of ya!
- Jenny Hager: You're going to beat me.
- Tim Hager: This is one beating you'll not like.
- Jenny Hager: He held me with one hand, so - so I couldn't move. And then he - beat me and beat me until I - look - look at my back.
- Jenny Hager: I know you don't want any man ever to look at me. But they do!
- Tim Hager: You lead them on, Jenny. It's so easy for you to turn a man's head.
- Jenny Hager: I'm sure Cleopatra never bothered about napkin rings.
- Meg Saladine: She didn't live in Bangor.
- Jenny Hager: Well, that wouldn't have stopped her. It wasn't by knowing how to set a table that Cleopatra got along.
- Jenny Hager: I shall demand obedience - and love. And if you refuse, my dear son, I shall punish you by not kissing you good night.
- Jenny Hager: Did you really like that kind of women? That kind he spoke about?
- Ephraim Poster: I'd rather not talk about it, Jenny.
- Jenny Hager: I used to see them near our house, before I came here. I used to *watch* them and wonder about them. I can see how women could be attracted to you. All kinds of women.
- Jenny Hager: Make him marry you!
- Meg Saladine: Oh, Jenny, I wish I knew how. He's not like the others. He thinks things out.
- Jenny Hager: I'd know how. I wouldn't give him a chance to think.
- Isaiah Poster: [to Ephraim] You heed my advice and you go some place more suitable for - a gentleman. Bangors a boon town. Loud. Rough. Faster than law and order. It takes a strong, stubborn man to make his way here.
- Jenny Hager: We need gentlemen, too.
- Isaiah Poster: For what? To tell you the kind of bonnets and doodads the Boston ladies are wearing?
