Billie Burke: Diana Bellaire

Quotes 

• Diana Bellaire : Olga, this isn't what I want. I said strawberry jam.

  Olga Chekaloff : You said blackberry, but I gave you the raspberry.

  Diana Bellaire : Olga, your cap is on crooked.

• Diana Bellaire : Only a woman suffers as a woman can - quietly, deeply, bravely.

  Hillary Bellaire : I wrote those lines too.

• Diana Bellaire : Oh, don't you remember? That's when the monkey bites you on the davenport.

• Diana Bellaire : Oh, darling, I do wish you'd stop growing. And look at your hair. Oh, poor little ugly duckling. Well, well, mother loves you anyway.

• Diana Bellaire : [walking in the music room seeing her cook, Ricky, kissing her daughter Sylvia]  There, Jerrold, that's what I meant. See the way he grabbed and kissed her. Not as if he were afraid she'd bite him. Not at all! Why, Richard, come-come-come-come. You can't be kissing people all over the place. Whatever does this mean?

  Ricky Saboni : But, I was only trying to teach her how to sing a love song.

  Diana Bellaire : Well, goodness knows, she needs it. But, don't let it hold up dinner.

• Diana Bellaire : Anyway, the trouble isn't with the acting, its where Sylvia steals Jerrold away from me. The audience won't believe it. Not for a moment!

  John Fleming : And why? Because you insisted upon Hillary making Sylvia your sister instead of your daughter.

  Diana Bellaire : He had to make her my sister. I couldn't have a daughter that old.

  Hillary Bellaire : But, she is your daughter, isn't she?

  Diana Bellaire : Oh, don't evade the question!

• Diana Bellaire : Come here, darling. Daddy, Daddy wants to send you away - all over Europe.

  Judy Bellaire : Oh, Daddy, I'm not as bad as all that!

• Diana Bellaire : Run along, children. You're looking very pretty this morning. Both of you. Even Judy. So pretty.

• Judy Bellaire : You can't hold me down! I'm going up! Up! Up!

  Hillary Bellaire : You bet you're going up! Up, up to your room and stay there! Do you know what's going to happen to you, young lady? You're going to be sent to a place where there isn't any jazz! To - to-to - where isn't there any jazz?

  Diana Bellaire : I'm sure I don't know, dear.

  Hillary Bellaire : Anyway, you're going there. Now, up to your room!

• Olga Chekaloff : Mr. Bellaire, the monkey men are here.

  Hillary Bellaire : The monkey men? What the devil do we want with monkey men?

  Diana Bellaire : We need another monkey. The one we rehearsed with last night, bit poor, dear Jerrold.

  Hillary Bellaire : Good! I'll give the monkey a run of the play contract. Send the monkeys away.

  Olga Chekaloff : Yes sir. Ders one thing ve don't need in dis house, it's more monkeys.
