Ann Duryea : I'm glad you're here Donnie. I have a bone to pick with you.
Donnie Wainwright : Oh, well, let's pick it over there, under the piano.
Ann Duryea : Very well.

Party Guest : Who's that girl?
Donnie Wainwright : Which one?
Party Guest : The one in white over there, wasting that gorgeous smile on old man Patridge.
Donnie Wainwright : Oh, that's Venice Muir.
Party Guest : Well, I'm cutting in.
Donnie Wainwright : Go ahead. She's a nice girl. Nicest girl I know. Old Patridge is her lawyer. You know, custody of her estate. He said he used to take her over his knee and spank her, et cetera.
Party Guest : Well, he can be her lawyer or trustee, I'll, eh, take the et cetera.

Donnie Wainwright : She's too gloomy.
Lola : Oh, she is not. Why, Venice is the sweetest girl here. She has a positively beautiful sense of humor. And, underneath, why, she's really warm - and vibrant - and mysterious.
Donnie Wainwright : Venice?
Lola : Yes, Venice. And she isn't shop-worn!
-
Donnie Wainwright : I love your sense of humor; but, don't use it just now.

Donnie Wainwright : Well, I guess the only place I could talk to you would be while you're taking a bath.

Donnie Wainwright : Say you've got lovely hair. Where did you get it?
Venice Muir : I've had it for years.

Donnie Wainwright : You shouldn't have done that.
Venice Muir : No, Donnie, I shouldn't have.

Donnie Wainwright : Oh, why not lay off me till I get my perspective back. And, if you're still interested, we might be - playmates. Well, you won't be lonesome in the meantime.
Venice Muir : What are you saying?
Donnie Wainwright : Oh, don't suddenly go innocent on me!
