[in Jabez' empty mansion]
Belle : I see why you're here. You knew no one was coming.
Mary Stone : No, I didn't.
Belle : You're lying.
Mary Stone : Lying, to you? How could I.
Belle : Don't you know that you're in my house?
Mary Stone : I do, and you could show me the door. You would, too, if you weren't still hoping the guests might arrive.
Belle : You think you're so smart, Mrs. Stone. You wanted to be near Jabez. It looked like your big chance tonight, but you're wrong. You can't win him back. Not that way.
Mary Stone : That's MY problem.

Belle : Is there anything else you want?
-
Jabez Stone : Shall we - dance, Belle?
Belle : No, Mr. Stone. You're place is with your wife.

Belle : Faster, Jabez. Faster! Faster!
Jabez Stone : Golly, Belle. This is wonderful!

Ma Stone : Let me tell you, young woman, if you think you're running this house because Mary hasn't put you in your place - you're mistaken!
Belle : But, m'Ma.
Ma Stone : Don't you Ma, me! Let's go, Mary. The sabbath bell's ringing.
Mary Stone : Coming, Ma.
