Death Cruise (1974 TV Movie)

Celeste Holm: Elizabeth Mason

Quotes 

• David Mason : [steps out of the bathroom in matching red and white Hawaiian shirt and shorts]  Here I am, the real me. Neat, but not gaudy.

  [his wife stares at him] 

  David Mason : What's the matter?

  Elizabeth Mason : I think I'm gonna be seasick.

  David Mason : How can you be seasick? We haven't even left the dock yet.

• Elizabeth Mason : David, what if any one of the kids needs us and we're not there?

  David Mason : Well, then they'll just have to muddle through without us.

• David Mason : It's not even noon yet, don't you think you're rushing the cocktail hour?

  Elizabeth Mason : I'm bored!

  David Mason : Lord.

  Elizabeth Mason : David, you've still got your work, but I don't have mine anymore. As you pointed out, the children are grown up and gone, and I'm bored!

  David Mason : Oh please, Elizabeth.

  Elizabeth Mason : No, no, you're right. The magic is gone! All 30 years' worth. This may not be easy for you to swallow, but you were never the magic the children were, and I thank you for that. All I ever was to you was chief cook, and hostess, with sleep-in privileges. The children were my life, because without them I wouldn't have had any life at all. Because you were always out to lunch. Now all of a sudden it's just you and me, babe, just the two of us, and I'm sorry David, but that would *really* have to be magic.

  David Mason : Look Elizabeth, I really don't want to hear this from you, not in this way.

  Elizabeth Mason : You can dish it out but you can't take it!
