Quotes 

• Eric Whittenson : [From off in a distance]  Hello!

  Fred Blake : Who's that?

  Louise Frith : Oh, that's only Eric.

  Fred Blake : Eric? Oh, well, perhaps I ought to go.

  Louise Frith : Why?

  Fred Blake : Well, a fellow doesn't like to see his girl talking to another fellow with no clothes on, does he!

  Louise Frith : Is that what they think in Australia?

• Eric Whittenson : I don't mind waiting. When you love anyone as I love Louise, a few months or a year, don't matter.

  Fred Blake : You love her like that?

  Eric Whittenson : Yes. Of course, you've only just seen her. You don't realize how beautiful she really is. And there's something else in her, too. Like a wathe, not quite at home in the haunts of men. It's so beautiful that I almost regret that she can't always keep it.

  Doctor Saunders : Why shouldn't she?

  Eric Whittenson : I feel she'll lose it when she becomes a wife and a mother. It's the soul of her that's so beautiful.

  Doctor Saunders : Don't be silly.

  Eric Whittenson : Why is it silly? It makes me ashamed that I won't got to her as pure as she'll come to me.

  Doctor Saunders : My dear boy, the most valuable thing I've learned from life is to regret nothing. Life is short. Nature is hostile and man is ridiculous.

• Fred Blake : Are you Dutch?

  Eric Whittenson : No, I'm a Dane.
