Arthur Russell Quotes in Alice Adams (1935)

[last lines]

Arthur Russell: I heard a great deal at Mildred's this afternoon, too.

Alice Adams: So they did talk about me.

Arthur Russell: Yes, they talked about you a lot. And I found out one thing. I love you, Alice.

Alice Adams: Gee whiz!

Arthur Russell: I love you.

Arthur Russell: A penny for your thoughts. No. A poor little dead rose for your thoughts, Alice Adams.

Arthur Russell: [walking with Alice on the street, discussing her brother] I thought it was quite original, his, uh, amusing himself with the cloakroom attendants.

Alice Adams: [laughs] Walter is original. You know, he's a very odd boy. I was afraid you'd misunderstand him. He tells the most wonderful darkie stories and he'll just do anything to get them to talk to him.

[laughs]

Alice Adams: We think he'll probably write about them some day. He's rather literary.
