Quotes 

• [after Joe bails his brother, Doris and the others out of jail] 

  Doris Lowry : You know I've got my whole life to think about now and you won't be of any help.

  Joe Morse : How do you know? You know everything I touch turns to gold. It's raining out and I promised my brother to take you home.

  Doris Lowry : Well, that's a lie.

  Joe Morse : Well, it's not true; but I would have had he asked. You know you can't tell about your life 'til you're all through living it. Come on, I'll give you a lift. You're tired, I'm tireder. What can happen to either one of us? You tell me the story of your life and maybe I can suggest a happy ending.

• Doris Lowry : You're a strange man... and a very evil one.

  Joe Morse : And you're a sweet child, and you want me to be wicked to you.

  Doris Lowry : Now what are you talking about?

  Joe Morse : Because you're wicked. Really wicked.

  Doris Lowry : What are talking so crazy for, Mr. Morse?

  Joe Morse : Because you're squirming for me to do something wicked to you. Make a pass for you, bowl you over, sweep you up, take the childishness out of you, and give you money and sin. That's real wickedness.

• Joe Morse : Wouldn't you like to celebrate on a really large scale, Miss Lowry?

  Doris Lowry : What are you celebrating, Mr. Morse?

  Joe Morse : A clear conscience.

  Doris Lowry : Oh, whose?
