Quotes
-
Mrs. Landborg : Welcome to Midsummer - the only time we can behave as we really want to.
-
Olaf Landborg : A charming speech, my dear. But it's for me to make it, not you.
Mrs. Landborg : If I waited till you got going, I'd have dried up like an old fig years ago.
-
Mrs. Landborg : The three things I need most as an artist: my model, my mother and this old hag.
Angela von Pahlen : Shh!
Mrs. Landborg : She can't hear. My model gives me inspiration. My mother gives me complexes. And I flirt with the hag for self-torment.
[kisses his mother, turns back to Angela]
Mrs. Landborg : She gives me money.
Angela von Pahlen : You're immoral.
Mrs. Landborg : You flatter me.
-
Mrs. Landborg : Who's that?
Angela von Pahlen : A married woman. Therefore unhappy.
-
Stellan von Pahlen : You, surely, have many other things to make you happy.
Mrs. Landborg : There's nothing like stimulus - it makes even one's most depraved wishes seem innocent. One forgets convention, one forgets one's age. Would you like to see me intoxicated?
Stellan von Pahlen : I am already.
Mrs. Landborg : It's not the champagne, it's youth.
-
Mrs. Landborg : You do look solemn. Idealist, no doubt, who still believe in right and wrong. Things are not black or white. Mix them and you get a dismal grey which is more realistic.
-
Mrs. Landborg : The aim of marriage, as is war, is to teach people how to hate each other.
-
Mrs. Landborg : I like mixtures. Champagne alone is so boring; but, add a dash of brandy and what do you get?
Stellan von Pahlen : Me.
Mrs. Landborg : I must taste first before I can give an opinion.
-
Stellan von Pahlen : [Mrs. Landborg's head clamped between his thighs, facing his crotch] My prisoner!
Mrs. Landborg : Even prisoners can have fun.
-
Mrs. Landborg : If I had your waist, I'd never worry.
Stellan von Pahlen : Yes, you would. It has landed me with the strangest bedfellows.
Mrs. Landborg : Are you sure it was your waist they were after, darling?
-
Mrs. Landborg : What a sweet boy. If I were you, I'd fall madly in love with myself.
Stellan von Pahlen : It's a terrible problem for me. When I propose to myself I can never make up my mind to accept.
Mrs. Landborg : Oh, I would. I'm sure you'd be very happy together. But supposing you were unfaithful?
Stellan von Pahlen : I'd peep at myself through the keyhole and be mad with desire.
