Cyrus Waltham Jr. Quotes in It (1927)

[On whether Betty Lou lacks "reserve."]

Cyrus Waltham Jr.: Personally, I think she has plenty - in reserve!

Cyrus Waltham Jr.: Madame Glyn, we've been talking about your latest story. Just what *is* this "IT"?

Madame Glyn: Self-confidence and indifference as to whether you are pleasing or not - and something in you that gives the impression that you are not all cold. That's "IT"!

Madame Glyn: [emphasizing, with her finger, to Cyrus] If you have "IT", you will win the girl you love.

Cyrus Waltham Jr.: Betty, I'm crazy about you...

Betty Lou Spence: [ebullient] I love you too!

Cyrus Waltham Jr.: I'll buy you diamonds, clothes, anything you want...

Betty Lou Spence: [insulted] What are you trying to do? Offer me one of those "left-hand" arrangements?

Cyrus Waltham Jr.: I'm crazy about you! Isn't that enough?

Betty Lou Spence: [walking out] I suppose that's what you men call "love"!

Cyrus Waltham Jr.: You idiot! Who's the girl?

Monty Montgomery: She's a ripping sort, really. She's positively top heavy with IT!

Cyrus Waltham Jr.: You know what sort she is - with a fatherless child!

Monty Montgomery: But I say - he isn't fatherless.
