Mildred Pierce1945

Veda:
[about Wally] You could marry him if you wanted to...if you married him, maybe we could have a maid like we used to, and a limousine, and maybe a new house. I don't like this house, Mother.

Mildred:
Veda, does a new house mean so much to you that you would trade me for it?

Veda:
I didn't mean it, Mother. I don't care what we have, as long as we're together. It's just that there are so many things that I [pause] - that we should have, and haven't got.

Mildred:
I know, darling, I know. I want you to have nice things. And you will have. Wait and see. I'll get you everything. Anything you want. I promise.

Veda:
How?

Mildred:
I don't know. But I will. I promise. I love you, Veda.

Veda:
I love you, Mother. Really I do. [Mildred hugs her] But let's not be sticky about it.
