The Red House

Pete Morgan:
The truth shouldn't scare anybody, man or boy.

Nath Storm:
Look mom, why don't you close the store and marry Don Brent.

Nath Storm:
Sometimes it seems the more I know about women the less I know about women.

Nath Storm:
You do more than talk things over, you come back here a bride. We don't want any dead ducks in the family.

Pete Morgan:
Don't put such a high price on courage, it's an over-rated virtue.

Pete Morgan:
Sometimes we figure too much son, the wrong things. Things that can never be figured. Then it's bad, bad for everyone.

Pete Morgan:
There's a curse on those woods.

Nath Storm:
There's some connection between Pete's red house and whoever hit me.

Meg Mogan:
I thought Pete told you not to go in those woods.

Meg Mogan:
Ok, Sunday we'll go prowling.

Meg Mogan:
I found an old trail, maybe it leads somewhere.

Tibby Renton:
You're on my time now, or had you forgotten we had a date to go swimming this afternoon.

Nath Storm:
She's like an ornery heifer sometimes, hard to hold down.

Pete Morgan:
There's one thing you gotta do for me, stay outta those woods.

Pete Morgan:
You know when I was a young man and in love, Sunday was a good day for swooning.

Nath Storm:
I don't care what Pete said, I wish we were prowling in the woods today.

Tibby Renton:
I wanna clear out these hills when I get married.

Nath Storm:
Since when?

Tibby Renton:
Since now.

Nath Storm:
I like the ground around here and I'd just as soon keep my feet on it.

Ellen Morgan:
Do you think there's a man on earth without something to conceal.

Nath Storm:
Go and stick your head under a faucet and cool off Tibby.

Ellen Morgan:
Meg needs to be with young people like Nath. You can't condemn her to loneliness.

Pete Morgan:
Whatever happines I get I've got to find while I live.

Ellen Morgan:
You can get happiness by giving it.

Pete Morgan:
As long as the Red House stands in the quarry my whole life is Meg's and her whole life is mine.

Nath Storm:
She's sleeping awfully sound... she's dead.

Tibby Renton:
Hi, what you got on your mind... me?

Teller:
I couldn't get you otta my mind baby.

Tibby Renton:
That's the way I was made too.

Meg Mogan:
She hurt bad?

Nath Storm:
She's dead.

Pete Morgan:
You defied the woods and you were hurt. She defied them, and now she's dead.

Pete Morgan:
Everything I love... dies.

Meg Mogan:
Then you did kill her?

Pete Morgan:
No, it was an accident, I was just trying to keep her quiet.

Pete Morgan:
I picked up the whip and beat him till he wasn't handsome anymore, till he was dead, finished.

Pete Morgan:
Stop that crying, stop it!

Nath Storm:
I thought I better finish what Ellen set out to do sweetheart. I set fire to the red house. Looking forwards is much better than looking back.

Nath Storm:
Tibby, you've got Meg all wrong, didn't she ask you out to spend the day and have dinner?

Tibby Renton:
Yeah, but why?

Nath Storm:
Can't anybody do anything without you figuring they've got an angle?

Tibby Renton:
I'VE always got an angle...
