Quotes
-
Roxana Hartley : Do you know how they breed roses, Lord Hampton? It's terribly interesting. I only found it out today. A rose, Lord Hampton, is both male and female. And in order to get little new kind of roses, well, they have to do the most peculiar things.
-
Roxana Hartley : Oh, darling, I want a cocktail.
Lord George Hampton : What sort of a cocktail?
Roxana Hartley : Let's have a sidecar!
-
Roxana Hartley : That's old stuff, Mama. We're more advanced now. Schnetzenhauser said in his famous book on sex relations that...
Lord George Hampton : My dear child, however did you come across that book?
Lady Jane Hartley : What book is this? Why haven't I heard of it?
Roxana Hartley : Oh, you wouldn't understand it, Mama. Lord Hampton, if I'm going into a strange country, I need a guidebook, don't I? If you go into a jungle, you want to know what's behind the next tree. A girl of today should know everything, read everything and do everything.
Lord George Hampton : Yes, my soul, you have brought her up well, Jane - in the modern manner.
Lady Jane Hartley : Yes. I didn't mean her to be quite so modern; but, she - just turned out that way.
-
Roxana Hartley : Oh, darling, I just have to think, I have a date. I'm dancing here today.
Lady Jane Hartley : Dancing? With who?
Roxana Hartley : The sweetest gigolo.
Lord George Hampton : A hired dancing partner?
Roxana Hartley : Everybody has one, darling. You hire a professional dancer, just as you would a riding master.
-
Roxana Hartley : I want to get the inside, eh, dope on him.
Lord George Hampton : Dope?
Lord Robert Brummel : Oh, quite right. As Schnetzenhauser says in his famous book on sex, if you're going into the jungle, you want to know what's behind the next tree. A young girl of today should know life as it really is.
Lord George Hampton : You two seem to have been exchanging ideas.
-
Roxana Hartley : Let's show them those new steps.
Lord Robert Brummel : Shall we start with the knee-to-knee half turn?
Roxana Hartley : Lovely.
[Dancing]
Roxana Hartley : Don't you love it Lord Hampton?
[to Robert]
Roxana Hartley : Now, let's show them Passions Deep.
-
Lord Robert Brummel : She's a beautiful dancer.
Roxana Hartley : Gwyneth? Oh, not bad.
Lord Robert Brummel : Oh, very good. She has technique.
Roxana Hartley : You mean I haven't technique?
Lord Robert Brummel : I mean you don't need technique.
-
Dan : Would you like a stroll?
Roxana Hartley : I'd love to.
Dan : Who's the man?
Roxana Hartley : Oh, that's not a man. It's a gigolo.
-
Roxana Hartley : I'm getting awfully hot.
Lord Robert Brummel : So am I!
-
Roxana Hartley : Believe it or not, we were just practicing a new dance step.
Gwenny : Really dear, there must be very little left for you to learn.
-
Roxana Hartley : Oh, you mean a crest!
Pauline : Yes, that is it. The paper he writes on, his pajamas, his underwear even. He has hid those things from you.
Roxana Hartley : Oh, well I should hope so!
-
Roxana Hartley : So, Lord Robert Brummel is afraid I'm like all the other women he's known. He wouldn't marry Roxan Hartley without finding out if she's worthy of him - and after he's made love to half the women of Europe!
Pauline : Naturellement! Men - you know, they are all the same way. They want to try every woman in the world for themselves; but, their wives, that's a coat of a different color.
-
Lord Robert Brummel : Are you ready?
Roxana Hartley : Rather!
-
Roxana Hartley : Oh, I've never been so thrilled in all my life. Our first flight - to Heaven. It's going to be a glorious sensation.
Lord Robert Brummel : You like sensations, don't you?
Roxana Hartley : Pleasant ones, of course.
-
Roxana Hartley : I'm dizzy too, but not from a plane. I'm dizzy with joy! More joy, darling.
[Hands him her champagne glass]
Lord Robert Brummel : You've had too much joy already.
Roxana Hartley : Oh, darling, I thought you were my suitor not my Sunday school teacher.
-
Roxana Hartley : You were perfect, darling! I'm sure he thought we'd been married for years.
-
Roxana Hartley : We're alone now. Aren't you thrilled!
-
Lord Robert Brummel : You think of everything, too, don't you.
Roxan Hartley : Well, of course, old dear. Just a girl who knows her weekends, that's all.
Lord Robert Brummel : Why, only this afternoon, you told me you'd never - cheat - on the man you'd marry.
Roxan Hartley : Oh, I always say that at first. Cocktail, darling. A girl can't tell the truth to every man that makes love to her, can she?
-
Roxana Hartley : Then, my riding master was next. Hmmm. Jolly old chap, Tony. Spanish! Hmmm. What a lot I learned from Tony. Hmmm. Then, there was a fascinating actor from Russia.
-
Roxana Hartley : Oh, that idiot! I wouldn't marry him if he was the last man on earth. What a rotter he is! Imagine Mama wanting me to marry such a vulgar.
-
Lord Robert Brummel : What was in that box?
Roxana Hartley : Oh, darling, how naughty you are. Pajamas, of course.
-
Roxana Hartley : Carry me in - my conqueror.
-
Roxana Hartley : Naughty boy! Don't you come in!
-
Lord Robert Brummel : Roxy, let me in.
Roxana Hartley : You unspeakable cad! I never hated and despised anyone so - in all my life.
Lord Robert Brummel : Darling!
Roxana Hartley : You beast! You brute! You swine!
Lord Robert Brummel : Darling, I love you!
-
Roxana Hartley : You come in here and I'll turn on the shower!
