Quotes 

• Mrs. Susan Elliott Potter : Don't tell anyone, but I've got a run in my stocking.

  Professor Nick Potter : Good heavens, we're ruined.

  [to the butler] 

  Professor Nick Potter : Not a word of this to a soul.

• Linda Seton : [Making introductions]  My brother Ned, Mr. and Mrs. Potter. They're friends of Johnny's.

  Mrs. Susan Elliott Potter : He used to live with us.

  Professor Nick Potter : We've come to warn his future bride about him - he never puts the cap back on the toothpaste.

  Professor Nick Potter : Mm-hmm. Then we'll drink a toast to Johnny - he *needs* it.

  [fills champagne glasses] 

  Mrs. Susan Elliott Potter : Needs it?

  Edward 'Ned' Seton : Oh. I'm wrong. He doesn't need it. Johnny's doing *all* right.

  Mrs. Susan Elliott Potter : What's on your mind, Ned?

  Professor Nick Potter : Nothing's on my mind.

  Linda Seton : What do you mean, Johnny's doing all right?

  Edward 'Ned' Seton : I mean he's doing all right. He's having a whirl. Julia's got his hair slicked down and Father's seeing that he meets the important people.

  Professor Nick Potter : My word, are there important people downstairs?

  Linda Seton : Oh, frightfully important. That's why I want to give a party up here.

  Professor Nick Potter : [Quoting an imaginary society column]  'Miss Linda Seton - on New Year's Eve - entertained a small group of Very Unimportant People.'

  [lifting champagne glass] 

  Professor Nick Potter : To our hostess.

  [They all drink to Linda] 

  Professor Nick Potter : [Chuckles]  May I drink too ?

• Professor Nick Potter : [referring to the massive Seton home]  You know, this reminds me a little of the palace of Caligula. You remember Caligula, don't you, dear?

  Mrs. Susan Elliott Potter : Oh, very well indeed. Whatever became of him?
