Child in the House

Henry Acheson: You picked on me because I was headed for success. Stephen was pure charm and all failure. You loved him but you loved my prospects better.

Evelyn Acheson: Why are you bringing all this up now? It's ridiculous to hear you call something love that I knew even at the time was mere youthful infatuation. What's it got to do with the child's behavior anyway?

Henry Acheson: If you'd married Stephen as you really wanted to, Elizabeth might have been your daughter.

Evelyn Acheson: Now I suppose you're blaming me because we never had a child?

Henry Acheson: I blame you for swindling me into a loveless marriage. You chose me because I was a good choice as a husband, but you never gave me a single moment of that one indispensable thing: real love. Our marriage was bound to be barren. And your hatred of this child is the natural outcome of an unnatural life!
