- Clancey Lorrimore: Force him? I'd marry her twenty million, if she had two heads and a clubbed foot!
- Martin Deering: Aren't you going in the pool?
- Clarissa: Oh, certainly not! It's much more clever to stay dressed and make people think how wonderful I'd be undressed.
- Phyllis Manning Lorrimore: Some tea then?
- Mrs. Emmeline Lorrimore: Tea? Your Granny's hind leg! I've just come from one cocktail party and I'm on my way to another!
- Brighton Lorrimore: Pretty gay I call that.
- Mrs. Emmeline Lorrimore: What did Brighton do? What did he do!
- Clancey Lorrimore: Well, to put it simply, Mother, he socked me right in the puss.
- Clancey Lorrimore: Now, if you would only see that you and I would make a much better combination than you and Brighton.
- Edith Gilbert: We'd be terrible. I'm Kansas and your Oxford-accent gives me a pain in the neck.
- Clancey Lorrimore: Why, I'd even cut that out for you, old thing.
- Major Ballinger: I say, don't splash me up. Do you mind? I'm not dressed for this.
- Brighton Lorrimore: Well, why aren't you?
- Major Ballinger: Well, I'm an excellent swimmer, old friend; but I don't look my best in a bathing suit.
- Brighton Lorrimore: Well, you certainly do, Lena. Why aren't you in?
- Lena Limering: Oh, I never go in the water, too. But, I adore the air on my body.
- Major Ballinger: It doesn't sound quite proper to me.
- Clarissa: Why talk about husbands? Unless you had something constructive to offer, like how to keep them from getting fat or bald headed.
- Martha Lorrimore: You'll excuse me, won't you? I'm going to market. I do the marketing myself in order to get all I can out of a dollar. I suppose you don't know anything about that.
- [sounding a bit condescending]
- Phyllis Manning Lorrimore: Oh, I've spent all my life seeing how much I can get *without* a dollar!
