Mary Marshall: Coming out into the world and... Even coming here, I had a feeling that ... Mrs. Marshall: Honey, you've got to stop being afraid.

And something you will be proud to have your name on, Miss Tredway.

a.		[first lines] [pre-opening-credits sequence; views of skyscrapers] Narrator: It is always up there, close to the clouds, on the topmost floors of the sky-reaching towers of big business.

b.		Dean Elias: Oh! Hello Boys. [Elias is tackled by the teams] Carver Purcell: By the way, you're fired.
c.		Harry: [Marv brings a load of stolen goods from the Murphy household to the van and Harry sees him laughing] What's so funny? What are you laughing at? You did it again didn't you?

McDonald Walling: [picking up a small, flimsy table] And that's when we started doing things like this: the KF line. Walt, are your boys proud when they go out and sell this stuff? When they know the finish is going to crack, the veneer split off and the legs come loose? Loren Phineas Shaw: Wait a minute, wait a minute.

[flips the table over, and easily tears off one of its legs] McDonald Walling: This is what Tredway has come to mean! [violently throws the leg against the wall] McDonald Walling: And what do you suppose the people think of us when they buy it? How do you suppose the men in the factories feel when they make it? What must they think of a management that is willing to stoop to selling this kind of junk in order to add a dime a year to the dividend?
d.		Ellen Brody: Martin hates boats. Martin hates water. Martin... Martin sits in his car when we go on the ferry to the mainland. I guess it's a childhood thing. It's a... there's a clinical name for it isn't there? Brody: Drowning.
