Quotes
-
Edith Farnham : I know a good story that I never told you before. It's about seven men, and every last one of 'em was eaten up by an alligator.
Brenda Farnham : [Giggling] I'm gonna like this one.
-
Miss Peabody : So boring for one to eat alone, don't you think?
Edith Farnham : Yes, but I think perhaps I'd better for your sake. My little daughter has a very bad cold, and I'd hate to give it to you.
Miss Peabody : Oh, my dear, I never catch cold. I'm bursting with health. Germs run away from me. Ah, hah, they actually run away.
Edith Farnham : I'm sure they do.
-
Stephen Blake : Do you take your parents for a couple of half-wits?
Brenda Farnham : Yes sir!
Stephen Blake : What? Confound it!
Edith Farnham : Brenda!
-
Stephen Blake : Did I ever tell you, you're the best dancer West of the Mississippi?
Edith Farnham : No. Why didn't you?
-
Edith Farnham : Don't tell me the stern Mr. Blake is flirting with me?
Stephen Blake : Outrageously. Until the road clears, you might as well grin and bear it. Don't forget my proud beauty, it's the only flirting to be had in these parts.
Edith Farnham : Ha, ha, ha... Just until the road clears, huh?
Stephen Blake : Welllll.
-
Stephen Blake : At last I'm emancipated from being an emancipated parent.
Edith Farnham : Are you drunk?
-
Edith Farnham : Just to get away from that germicidal female, you understand?
Stephen Blake : Perfectly! I'm the lesser of two evils.
Edith Farnham : You're practically psychic.
-
Brenda Farnham : Why, mother, aren't you going to wear that beautiful gold dress?
Edith Farnham : And waste it on this morgue? I should say not.
-
Edith Farnham : Uh, there's no danger of starvation is there? I mean, we won't have to draw lots to see who's to be eaten first will we?
-
Edith Farnham : Oh, very cozy, no doubt. But the fact is, I've been buried with one man for several years, and now that I've dug my way out...
Miss Peabody : Oh, divorced?
Edith Farnham : Yes.
-
Miss Peabody : Well, I feel as if I were looking at a ghost.
Edith Farnham : Oh, I didn't realize I looked quite that bad.
Miss Peabody : Oh, ho, no, my dear. You look enchanting - perfectly enchanting. But when I think that at this minute you might be lying beneath ten feet of snow stiff, but stiff.
Edith Farnham : I didn't realize I had such a narrow escape.
Miss Peabody : Just a matter of inches, my dear - just inches.
[She gestures with her thumb and index finger]
-
Brenda Farnham : Watch out, you'll catch my cold.
Edith Farnham : What of it? Some day I'll let you catch mine.
-
Edith Farnham : Brenda, you and I have had a tough time. But just because we had one unfortunate experience, I don't want you to be prejudiced against men all your life.
Brenda Farnham : But you are.
Edith Farnham : You see, it is my fault.
-
Edith Farnham : Yes, paint - fresh paint.
Fred Cutler - Hotel Clerk : Well, you see... oh, here's the manager now.
Stephen Blake : [Arriving at the front desk with the Hotel Manager] My son will be positively sick...
Hotel Manager : I know it, Mr. Blake, and I'm very, very sorry.
Stephen Blake : But you must have one room in the hotel that wasn't painted yesterday.
Hotel Manager : I'm sorry, sir, but I'm afraid not. I'm afraid they're all about the same.
[Turning to Edith Farnham]
Hotel Manager : Are, are you bothered by the paint too, Mrs. Farnham?
Edith Farnham : Me? Oh, no, I find it rather refreshing.
-
Miss Peabody : The nice looking Mr. Blake. Uh, you really must let me introduce you to him.
Edith Farnham : No, no thank you. I prefer not to.
Miss Peabody : Yah hah! Mustn't be shy, eh heh heh. After all, you and he might have been buried together, uh heh, heh, heh - under that avalanche.
-
Stephen Blake : I don't like hysterical women.
Edith Farnham : Hysterical?
Stephen Blake : That's what I said - you're hysterical.
Edith Farnham : I suppose you'll be striking me next.
