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.'

Professor Nick Potter : To our hostess.
[They all drink to Linda]
Professor Nick Potter : [Chuckles] May I drink too ?

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