Louise Closser Hale: Mrs. Schuyler

Quotes 

• Mrs. Schuyler : Oh, its a good thing your father passed away before he saw insanity ravage the family. I can't imagine what made you do such a thing. A reporter! Of all things, a reporter! A barbarian who let's his socks come down.

  Anne Schuyler : Oh, the usual thing: blah, blah, blah attended the blah blah and wore the same blah blah things.

• Mrs. Schuyler : If you had to make a fool of yourself, why didn't you tell it to her, instead of writing?

  Michael Schuyler : Because I couldn't get her on the phone.

  Mrs. Schuyler : Imbecile!

  Anne Schuyler : You should have known better than to write, Romeo. I found that out a long time ago.

  Mrs. Schuyler : I should say you had. At the rate you two are going, we'll have to leave the country to save our faces!

  Anne Schuyler : Splendid, Mother! Let's hop over to Monte Carlo. It's a great place to save a face!

• Mrs. Schuyler : I hope you'll never have a daughter who'll give you gastritis.

• Mrs. Schuyler : The man's insane!

  Stew Smith : Sure, I'm insane. But, I got some good news for you. This magnolia is leaving your sweet smelling vanilla joint! This bird in a cage is gonna button his own pants from now on. And that's what's known as telling the Mother-in-Law!
