Quotes 

• Gareth Lowell : What kind of car was he driving?

  Betty Lowell : I don't know. I don't judge people by their cars.

• Betty Lowell : We've been in this neighborhood too long.

  Gareth Lowell : I like it here.

  Betty Lowell : Why not? Around here where the only real religion is keeping up with the Jones. You're a Jones.

  Gareth Lowell : And you're Mrs. Jones.

• Gareth Lowell : You know what, Betty? You're getting old.

  Betty Lowell : I know. I wish I could say the same for you.

• Betty Lowell : So pin me. You think I finally made varsity. So where's my big red "A"?

  Gareth Lowell : Oh sure, it's just a big joke to you isn't it?

• Betty Lowell : For a while I was up to bat swinging from my heels. But I didn't really earn my scarlet letter. In fact, I settled for ice coffee.

• Betty Lowell : Goodbye, Gareth. I hope you'll be happy.

  Gareth Lowell : With money, who needs happiness?

• Betty Lowell : Strange how the two of us live side by side, with our lives so different and yet so similar.

  Jackie Fowler : Similar?

  Betty Lowell : Well, we both got married when we were kids - when we were too young to know what we were doing.

• Jackie Fowler : You call what I got a marriage?

  Betty Lowell : That's what the law calls it.

• Jackie Fowler : [showing off her new swim suit]  Do you like?

  Betty Lowell : Oh, it's beautiful, Jackie.

  Eileen Lowell : Keen, Mrs. Fowler!

• Betty Lowell : If your father didn't work so hard, we wouldn't have all these luxuries.

  Eileen Lowell : Luxuries? What about love? Or, don't you think that Daddy's running around with other women is wrong? I'm sorry Mother, I shouldn't have said that.

  Betty Lowell : Infidelity is wrong, Eileen.

• Betty Lowell : I must warn you. It's going to be noisy here tomorrow night. We're having a Fourth of July pool party. We have one every year. We're sort of famous for it - if not notorious.

• Betty Lowell : Eileen's getting pretty confused these days.

  Gareth Lowell : Confused? About what?

  Betty Lowell : Oh, nothing complicated. Just about what's wrong and what's right.

• Betty Lowell : Like Columbus, we got there first. First with the two cars, the stereo, the sliding glass doors, the swimming pool. First to find out that the promised land is a fraud. There's more in life than home improvement. There's self-improvement. In that, we've got a long way to go.

• Gareth Lowell : Knock it off, will you! This constant belittlement's got to stop. I'm free, I'm over 2, I've got a good business, and except for *you*, I've got the respect of everybody I deal with. High class people!

  Betty Lowell : High class call girls!

• Carlo : Does your husband love you?

  Betty Lowell : For Gareth, love is a mask. He only uses it when he wants sex.

• Betty Lowell : How gentle you are. I never knew a kiss could be so tender.

• Betty Lowell : Nowadays, when, wherever you look, somebody in a bathing suit is trying to sell you something. You'd think the whole world would collapse if they didn't use sex to sell a product.

• Betty Lowell : Save a little vodka for the party, lover boy!
