“Irresistible Change” quotes from The Gilded Age

What are your thoughts on electricity?

Peggy Scott

Are you talking about Mr. Edison's lights?

Mr. Edison is not solely responsible.

Peggy Scott

Who else was involved?

Namely, Lewis Latimer, a colored inventor. He created a better carbon filament. That's the thing in the bulb that helps keep the lights on, so to speak.

Peggy Scott

Well, I'm sure that Mr. Edison will give Mr. Latimer his due credit at the ceremony.

[laughs] I admire your wit, Miss Scott.

Agnes van Rhijn

Mrs. Russell has fired her maid.

Marian Brook

I'm amazed. She didn't give a hint of it when I was with her.

Ada Brook

You must have been more eloquent than you realized.

Marian Brook

Will you write to her?

Agnes van Rhijn

Of course I won't write to her! She might write back.

Ada Brook

You must acknowledge the letter. She's done what you asked.

Peggy Scott

[entering] Is there anything that you'd like me to do before you get changed?

Agnes van Rhijn

Please thank Mrs. Russell for this note, but without a trace of warmth.

Agnes van Rhijn

[to Marian] You're very obedient all of a sudden. What are you planning to spring on me?
