All About Eve1950

Lloyd:
For once to write something and have it realized completely. For once not to compromise.

Karen:
Lloyd Richards! You are not to consider giving that contemptible little worm the part of Cora.

Lloyd:
Now just a minute.

Karen:
Margo Channing's not been exactly a compromise all these years. Why, half the playwrights in the world would give their shirts for that particular compromise.

Karen:
It strikes me that Eve's disloyalty and ingratitude must be contagious.

Lloyd:
All this fuss and hysteria because an impulsive kid got carried away by excitement and the conniving of a professional manure-slinger named De Witt. She apologized, didn't she?

Karen:
On her knees, I've no doubt. Very touching. Very Academy of Dramatic Arts.

Lloyd:
That bitter cynicism of yours is something you've acquired since you left Radcliffe.

Karen:
That cynicism you refer to I acquired the day I discovered I was different from little boys.
