It's from the remake (which is worth a look...). The one you quote is from the original films, written by Flanders and Swann (one of my specialist subjects). And I think it is "Glory in their plight".

As is always the case with my writing, please feel free to comment. I welcome both positive and negative criticism of my work, although I cannot promise to enjoy the negative.
