Movie Quotation: The Painted Veil
[Waddington walks in to the Fanes’ new house]
Waddington:
You must be the doctor’s wife. I’ve just met your husband and invited myself to dinner. I’ve kept to Watsons’ cook for you she’s not bad, she’ll have to do for your amah as well. We’re a little short-handed here.
[Remembering he hasn’t introduced himself yet]
Waddington:
Sorry, my name is Waddington.
Walter Fane:
I’d like to press on, if you don’t mind.
Kitty Fane:
Surely my comforts are no concern to you.
Charlie Townsend:
Women are always under the impression that men love them more that they really do.
Kitty Fane:
I wouldn’t delude myself for a second that you were in love with me.
Charlie Townsend:
Now there you’re wrong.
Kitty Fane:
I was wondering if you could tell me when the post comes through. It’s for Shangai.
Waddington:
Unfortuneatly, since the cholera the cowards won’t venture past the river port. But, leave it with me. A local trader I know is making the trip on Friday
Kitty Fane:
[Hands Waddington the Letter]
Waddington:
[Reading the envolope] Townsend. Charlie Townsend?
Kitty Fane:
Yes. He’s and acquaintance of my husband. Do you know him?
[Kitty takes the letter back and looks worried]
Waddington:
Years ago. We were both assigned to the consulate in Shanghai. Charming wife.
Kitty Fane:
Yes. They’re very popular, aren’t they?
Waddington:
He’d made a science of popularity.
Kitty Fane:
So you know his family?
Waddington:
Well, well enough. I like Dorothy
Kitty Fane:
[Laughs] Yes, I understand they’re quite the devoted couple.
Waddington:
Oh, he had his little flirtations.
Kitty Fane:
Nothing serious.
Waddington:
I once heard her say that she found it most unflattering that the women who fell for her husband were so consistently second-rate.
Kitty Fane:
[Looks mortified for a moment, then laughs] Well, enjoy the record.
Waddington:
Mrs. Fane? The letter.
Kitty Fane:
Right. Yes, it suddenly occured to me that Friday’s much too late. Thanks all the same.
Walter Fane:
I knew when I married you that you were selfish and spoiled. But I loved you. I knew you only married me to get as far away from your mother as possible. And I hoped that one day… there’s be something more. I was wrong. You don’t have it in you.
Kitty Fane:
If a man hasn’t what’s necessary to make a woman love him then it *his* fault not hers.
Walter Fane:
Either way. Tomorrow morning we are to leave for Mei-tan-fu, or I shall file my petition.
Kitty Fane:
Walter, you can’tbe serious about taking me into the middle of a cholera epidemic
Walter Fane:
Do you think that I’m not?
Kitty Fane:
My God. That’s what you want isn’t it? Do you really think Charlie will let you do this?
Walter Fane:
I don’t think Charlie has very much to say about it.
Kitty Fane:
Everything you said is true. Everything. I married you even though I didn’t love you. But you knew that. Aren’t you as much to blame for what’s happened as I?
