Susannah Harker: Mattie Storin

Quotes 

• [last lines] 

  Mattie Storin : You mustn't underestimate your abilities. Really. You know you could go much further than you have done, don't you?

  Francis Urquhart : Do you think so?

  Mattie Storin : If you put your mind to it, I think you could achieve anything you wanted.

  Francis Urquhart : You might think that, Mattie. I'm afraid I couldn't possibly comment.

• Mattie Storin : Do you think he tipped his brother off about those shares?

  Francis Urquhart : I find it impossible to believe that Henry Collingridge could do a thing like that. I've always considered him a totally honourable man.

  Mattie Storin : But...?

  Francis Urquhart : But, Mattie?

  Mattie Storin : Not quite up to his job.

  Francis Urquhart : Mattie, you might very well think that, you know I couldn't possibly comment.

• Mattie Storin : I think you underestimate yourself and that's a shame.

  Francis Urquhart : Underestimate myself? In what way?

  Mattie Storin : You underestimate your ability and your capacity for power, I think. And I think you underestimate your personal attractiveness.

  Francis Urquhart : Now that is absurd, Mattie. You can't expect me to fall for that. I'm old enough to be your father.

  Mattie Storin : Perhaps that's something to do with it.
