Holiday Week (1952)

Leslie Dwyer: Chris Hawthorn

Quotes 

• Chris Hawthorn : What do you think could have happened to her?

  Mrs. Hawthorn : Why, it's staring you in the face! She's gone off with a chap, that's what.

  Chris Hawthorn : I don't believe it. Our Jenny would never do a thing like that.

  Mrs. Hawthorn : Trust you to stick up for her. Well, what else can it mean?

  Chris Hawthorn : I don't know. Perhaps she's been kidnapped or something. Maybe I ought to go to the police.

  Mrs. Hawthorn : You'll do no such thing. Isn't it enough for you that she's disgraced us, without telling the whole of Hindle?

  Chris Hawthorn : We've no proof that she has.

  Mrs. Hawthorn : Kidnapped indeed! She put yesterday's date on the card, the sly, artful little... oh, I tell you she's gone off with a chap. And it's you who're to blame Chris Hawthorn, for never having taken a stick to her!

• Chris Hawthorn : We'll talk of this again in the morning. Go to your room now, Jenny.

  Jenny Hawthorn : Yes, father.

  Mrs. Hawthorn : Call yourself a man? If it had been me, my father would have taken a stick to me!

  Chris Hawthorn : A stick won't take back what she's done.
