Catherine Sloper
- Aunt Penniman: Can you be so cruel?
- Catherine Sloper: Yes, I can be very cruel. I have been taught by masters.
- Catherine Sloper: He's grown greedier over the years. Before he only wanted my money; now he wants my love as well. Well, he came to the wrong house - and he came twice. I shall see that he does not come a third time.
- Austin Sloper: You have found a tongue at last, Catherine. 'Tis only to say such terrible things to me.
- Catherine Sloper: Yes. This is a field where you will not compare me to my mother.
- Aunt Penniman: Good heavens, child. You are disinheriting yourself.
- Catherine Sloper: Yes. Completely.
- Aunt Penniman: Have you told Morris this?
- Catherine Sloper: Of course. I told him everything. He is to be my husband.
- Aunt Penniman: Oh, you should have waited. Did... Did he understand?
- Austin Sloper: [Referring to Morris] I'll see him tomorrow.
- Catherine Sloper: You're so good that you will be fair and honest with him.
- Austin Sloper: I shall be as fair and honest with him as he is with you.
- Austin Sloper: Well, I suppose you'll be going off with him any time now.
- Catherine Sloper: Yes, if he will have me.
- Austin Sloper: Why not? You'll be a most entertaining companion.
- Catherine Sloper: I will try to be.
- Austin Sloper: Your gaiety and brilliance will make up the difference between the 10,000 a year you will have and the 30,000 he expects.
- Catherine Sloper: Oh, Father, don't you think he is the most beautiful man you've ever seen?
- Austin Sloper: Well, he's very good-looking, my dear. Of course, you wouldn't let a consideration like that sway you unduly.
- Catherine Sloper: Oh, no! But that is what is so wonderful to me, that he should have everything, everything a woman could want, and he wants me.
- Aunt Penniman: Wouldn't you like me to dress quickly and come with you?
- Catherine Sloper: There's no time, Aunt! Morris will be here any instant.
- Aunt Penniman: But I should. You must have a chaperone. Your father would be shocked!
