Mildred Pierce (1945)
Directed by: Michael Curtiz
Starring: Joan Crawford, Jack Carson, Zachary Scott, Eve Arden

Ida: Personally, Veda's convinced me that alligators have the right idea. They eat their young.
Monte: Oh, I wish I could get that interested in work.

Veda: With this money I can get away from you. From you and your chickens and your pies and your kitchens and everything that smells of grease. I can get away from this shack with its cheap furniture. And this town and its dollar days, and its women that wear uniforms and its men that wear overalls.
