Warning to Wantons (1949)

Marie Burke: Therese

Quotes 

• Therese : You talk as if the poor girl had spent her life in night clubs. She seemed to me, last night from what I saw of her. To be a very quiet, modest little girl. Good family too.

  Count Anton Kardak : Ha!

  Therese : Isn't she?

  Count Anton Kardak : It depends what you mean by good.

• Count Anton Kardak : A quiet modest little girl! My own opinion is that she's a consummate little minx!

  Therese : If that's your opinion, why did you bring her here?

  Count Anton Kardak : Because she amuses me.

  Therese : Anton - you really are incorrigible.

  Count Anton Kardak : Nonsense, Theresa. I like people who can fence with grace and agility, and never show their wounds.

  Therese : Is that a way of saying that Renee has no heart?

  Count Anton Kardak : I haven't probed it. I said I thought she was a minx, but what an excellent, rare and precious minx, like a Dresden statuette!
