Quotes from the Movie From Here to Eternity

And one more thing: no more children. Sure I went out with men after that. And if I'd ever found one that...

Karen

I know. Until I met you I didn't think it was possible either.

Karen

That's what I like about you, Sergeant: you have confidence. It's also what I dislike about you.

Karen

Waste, did you say? There's a subject I might tell you something about. I know several kinds of waste, Sergeant. You're probably not even remotely aware of some of them. Would you like to hear? For instance, what about the house without a child? There's one sort for you. Then there's another... You're doing fine, Sergeant. My husband's off somewhere, and it's raining outside, and we're both drinking now. You've probably only got one thing wrong. The lady herself. The lady's not what she seems.

Karen

Not if I can help it. What are you doing?

Karen

Karen

I never knew it could be like this! Nobody ever kissed me the way you do.

Karen

Now that'd take some figuring. How many men do you think there've been?

Karen

Not without an adding machine. Do you have the adding machine with you?

Karen

Why don't you tell the truth, you just don't want the responsibility. You're probably not even in love with me.

Karen

You know why you were assigned to G Company?

Cpt. Holmes

I pulled a few strings. I'm the regimental boxing coach, you know.

Cpt. Holmes

I saw your fight with Connors in the Bowl, year before last. You should've won it.
