| Quotes |
Henry B. Travers:
Try to relax. You know what you're doing just doesn't make sense. There's no way back. You're young and quite beautiful. Yes, you should know that. Please, give life another chance. If you jump you might not die instantly. You might linger on for months. Wake up and find that you're a cripple. Think about it. Marion Menil: It's hopeless. Too scared. Henry B. Travers: Give me your hand. Come, reach out to me. You can do it. man in crowd: Thank God. Otherwise I couldn't eat any supper at all tonight. See more » |
