Coquette

Norma Besant:
Why, Michael, you look almost like you were dead!

Norma Besant:
[to Wentworth after her father's suicide] I've got to hurry along home now and help Jimmy with his algebra.

Norma Besant:
I sorta got things twisted. But, I was wonderin', did we have a date to go to the dance tonight?

Stanley Wentworth:
Why, I thought I...

Norma Besant:
That's just what I thought too, Stanley; but, it was so long ago, I kinda forgot.

Stanley Wentworth:
Yeah, one does forget, I suppose.

Norma Besant:
It was just the funniest thing, but, you see I-I kinda forgot. You 'member I was over at Nellie Anne's a couple a weeks ago? And, I-I met Michael.

Stanley Wentworth:
Oh, well I see where I take another ride in the rumble seat.

Norma Besant:
I'll tell you somethin' I never told any other man, ever! Just the way you are, now, you'll be the best lookin' man there. Now, will you come?

Michael Jeffery:
No.

Norma Besant:
Well, you're the first man I ever told that to the just didn't naturally melt away.

Michael Jeffery:
I reckon I'm different from the other men - you've never told that to.

Norma Besant:
Michael, I heard about your fight at the post office this afternoon. It was about me, wasn't it?

Michael Jeffery:
Why, no, I...

Norma Besant:
Why, yes it was. Mae Grandham called me and told me all about it. Hugh Gaston said I was nothin' but a silly little coquette, didn't he? And you thrashed him for it.

Norma Besant:
We just naturally seem to have a lot to say to one another, don't we? I always did think you were interesting.

Michael Jeffery:
Why, you haven't known me, but about two weeks.

Norma Besant:
I don't suppose he'll ever really trust me again and he's just the most adorable old Daddy.

Stanley Wentworth:
Why don't you marry me, Norma?

Norma Besant:
Stanley, you're a dear.

Stanley Wentworth:
Oh, I know you've heard it so often it's beginning to sound like an echo. But, I do, so, mean it.

Jimmy Besant:
You're a fine one, you are. What time'd you get in last night?

Norma Besant:
Did Daddy ask?

Jimmy Besant:
I mean four o'clock, that's all. And make me get the blame for it.

Norma Besant:
Oh, Jimmy, you are a dear.

Jimmy Besant:
Jiminy, you must've been neckin' overtime. Believe me, I'd never marry a girl like that.

Julia:
Now, now, don't you worry honey child, your old Daddy's just upset a little.

Norma Besant:
Oh, Julia, he was so mad. You don't suppose he'd hurt Michael?

Julia:
No, no, honey child, now calm yourself down. Now, you just come and tell your Mammy all about it.

Norma Besant:
Julia, I love him so much. They don't understand.

Julia:
Your Mammy understands, just like I always did. Because your still my baby, my little honey baby, my little honey baby.

Jasper Carter:
Did Michael Jeffery make love to you there?

Norma Besant:
Yes.

Jasper Carter:
Did you resist him?

Norma Besant:
Yes.

Jasper Carter:
But he forced his attention?

Norma Besant:
Yes.

Jasper Carter:
And you could not resist his lovemaking?

Norma Besant:
No.

Jasper Carter:
And he made you yield?

Norma Besant:
Yes.

Jasper Carter:
He made you yield to an extreme?

Norma Besant:
Yes.

Jimmy Besant:
Hey, Julia! Say, hurry up with that coffee. You know Dad and I can't enjoy our after dinner smoke without a cup of coffee.

Julia:
Go on, child. I's a-comin'.

Jimmy Besant:
Oh, Jiminy. Juliet, you aggravate me. Well, shake a leg, will ya?

Julia:
Shake my leg? I shake my legs for nobody, no Seh!
