Best line in this film

"I'm asking you to marry me, you little fool."

Haha, that one made me laugh.

My favorite:

‎"She was face to face with me, one hand in her pocket, the other holding a cigarette. She was smiling. 'Well, Max? What are you going to do about it? Aren't you going to kill me?'"

That whole monologue was so perfectly, chillingly delivered by Mr. Olivier! Easily my favorite scene in Rebecca.

Love it,

my favourite line is from Maxim

'This isn't at all

your idea of a proposal, is it ?







It should be in a conservatory,







you in a white frock

with a red rose in your hand...







and a violin playing in the distance,







and I should be making violent

love to you behind a palm tree.'

"and I keep her underwear on this side."

Not the best. You all have covered those. But I think the last line in this one rates, lol:

Maxim: What the devil are you shouting about? Who are you? What are you staring at?
Future Mrs de Winter: I'm sorry, I didn't mean to stare, but I, I only thought...
Maxim: Oh, you did, did you? Well, what are you doing here?
Future Mrs de Winter: I was only walking.
Maxim: Well, get on with your walking and don't hang about here screaming.

Maxim: Rebecca has won. Her shadow has been between us all the time, keeping us from one another. She knew that this would happen.


Mrs. de Winter: Whenever you touched me, I knew you were comparing me with Rebecca. Whenever you looked at me or spoke to me, walked with me in the garden, I knew you were thinking, 'This I did with Rebecca. And this and this.' It's true, isn't it?


Mrs. de Winter: We can't lose each other now. We must be together always, no secrets, no shadows.

Maxim confesses that he killed Rebecca and in the same breath, without missing a beat, he says to his wife:
"Will you look into my eyes, and tell me that you love me now?"

Is it okay if I do it for mom and not you? 'Cause I really like mom.

"We can never go back to Manderley again, that much is certain. But sometimes, in my dreams I do go back....."

and

After Maxim has made his confession to her, Mrs de Winter's reply - "You didn't love her, you didn't love her..."

The love and relief and pain and realization in her voice always makes me cry.

"Please promise me never to wear black satin or pearls... or to be 36 years old."
