Quotes 

• Cap'n Andy Hawks : It's Saturday night again!

  [He slaps Parthy affectionately on her rear end] 

  Parthy : Oh! It's Wednesday night and don't you strike me!

  Cap'n Andy Hawks : It's Saturday night forever!

  Parthy : Yes, and Fourth of July... and Christmas... and

  [imitating Cap'n Andy when he celebrates New Year's Eve] 

  Parthy : Hap - - -py New Year!

• Parthy : It's perfectly plain to me what's happening onboard this boat. And I'll not have my daughter mixed up with any hussy!

• Parthy : [observing a rehearsal of a love scene with a kiss between Gaylord and Magnolia]  Just a minute, young man, we won't have any of that. We'll have none of your tricks on or *off* the stage.

  Cap'n Andy Hawks : But, Parthy, I thought that was kinda natural.

  Parthy : Nature isn't necessary in a play actin' house, especially that kind. Play actin' is *just* make believe.
