“- Hildy Johnson: He treats me like a woman.
- Walter Burns: Oh he does, doesn't he? How did I treat you? Like a water buffalo?”

Rosalind Russell - Hildy Johnson
Cary Grant - Walter Burns

“You thought you could be Mrs. de Winter, live in her house, walk in her steps, take the things that were hers! But she's too strong for you. You can't fight her - no one ever got the better of her. Never, never. She was beaten in the end, but it wasn't a man, it wasn't a woman. It was the sea!”

Judith Anderson - Mrs. Danvers

“I watched you go down just as I watched her a year ago. Even in the same dress you couldn't compare.”

Judith Anderson - Mrs. Danvers

“How could we be close when I knew you were always thinking of Rebecca? How could I even ask you to love me when I knew you loved Rebecca still?”

Joan Fontaine - Mrs. de Winter

Whenever you touched me, I knew you were comparing me with Rebecca. Whenever you looked at me or spoke to me, walked with me in the garden, I knew you were thinking "This I did with Rebecca".

Joan Fontaine - Mrs. de Winter
