Nick revived Nora after knocking her out to keep her from being accidentally shot by Joe Morelli.
"Nora:You damned fool,you didn't have to knock me cold. I knew you'd take him but I wanted to see it.
Lieutenant:Jesus, there's a woman with hair on her chest."

“the people who lie the most are nearly always the clumsiest at it, and they're easier to fool with lies than most people, too. You'd think they'd be on the look-out for lies, but they seem to be the very ones that will believe almost anything at all.”

#TheAutumnGarden (1951) offers a profound exploration of middle-aged disillusionment & the quiet desperation of lives half-lived. The autumn setting itself becomes a metaphor for the characters' life stage-past their prime but not yet in winter, clinging to the last vestiges of their former selves.
My favorite #quote from #TheAutumnGarden by #LillianHellman.
"I've often thought that if I started all over again, I'd go right back to where I started and start from there. Otherwise, it wouldn't prove anything"
