- Shirley: [while dancing] Don't you think we'd better stop?
- David Trent: Why?
- Shirley: Well, the music has.
- Norman Harrington: I think if you washed all the liars out of the history books, there would only be Washington left - I hope.
- Emmet Mortimer: Extraordinary how people jump to conclusions.
- David Trent: Isn't it. And isn't it a lucky thing for us that they do? If they didn't there'd be no troubles in the world. Think of that - and then, nobody'd need a lawyer.
- Shirley: [after disguising herself as a proper governess] Oh, I wonder if I'll get away with it. Well, how do I look?
- Marjory Fielding: Like a very old piece of fried bread.
- Shirley: Oh, thank you! Thank you, my darling.
- Marjory Fielding: Shirley, what's the matter with you?
- Shirley: I'm alive. Wouldn't suspect it, would you? A wallflower can be alive, you know. And when they are, they get very, very sick of their own back yard.
- David Trent: [to Shirley in disguise as Mrs. Halifax] Mrs. Halifax, isn't it sufficient that I drink the bouillon? Do I have to like it too? Good night!
- Shirley: [as Mrs. Halifax] And please sleep well.
- David Trent: Rest assured, Mrs. Halifax, I'll do my best.
