Linus Larrabee : [after he has sent Sabrina, presumably with David, back to Paris] David, where's Sabrina? You didn't go with her?
David Larrabee : Well obviously not, Linus, I mean, here I am, right? She's probably having her beverage service right about now.
Mrs. Ingrid Tyson : Who's Sabrina?
Patrick Tyson : The chauffeur's daughter!
Linus Larrabee : Don't call her that!
[David looks at him in amusement]
Elizabeth Tyson, MD : She was after David for a while, then apparently she switched to Linus. She seems to have decided that HE was the one with the power.
Linus Larrabee : [outraged, pointing to David] Is THAT what he told you?
Elizabeth Tyson, MD : He told me everything, Linus.
Linus Larrabee : [to David] And you didn't see her before she left? You didn't talk to her?
David Larrabee : Oh, sure, I said goodbye, and I think I wished her luck. Maybe not. I told her I felt kind of funny accepting my brother's hand-me-downs
[Maude covers her mouth to keep from smiling]
David Larrabee : , and I said don't take it personally, and you've always been generous to your women in the past, and I was sure she'd be more than compensated for... whatever!
[Linus punches him]
David Larrabee : See! I told you! He loves her!
Mrs. Ingrid Tyson : Who?
Patrick Tyson : Sabrina!
David Larrabee : [touching his mouth] Is he packed?
Mack : Yes.
Linus Larrabee : Is who packed?
Mack : You are. Just one bag.
Linus Larrabee : [flustered] Wait a minute, you - you packed my clothes? You went to my apartment?
Maude Larrabee : I took her!
Mack : We were up to our elbows in your underwear drawer; it was like touching the Shroud of Turin.
David Larrabee : Here, sign this. It's your authorization for the completion of the merger. AND this - it gives me the raise I deserve for the new position I'm assuming. There's a car waiting for you downstairs, a helicopter at East 60th... the plane ticket's been changed to the Concorde. It leaves in exactly 39 minutes. If you make it, you just might beat her there.
[Linus turns away in thought]
Elizabeth Tyson, MD : Go, Linus! Don't think!
Linus Larrabee : [hesitantly] She... she must absolutely hate me!
Maude Larrabee : She'll get over it. We all do... Linus, you know I love you. No mother could be prouder. But I think it's time that you ran away from home.
David Larrabee : But sign these first.
[Linus signs the forms and clasps David's shoulder]
Linus Larrabee : If you'll excuse me... it appears I have a previous engagement.
[leaves]

David Larrabee : [as Linus & Maude board their chauffeured limo for the ride to work] You guys work Sundays now, huh?
Linus Larrabee : It's Wednesday, David.
-
David Larrabee : You're talking about my life.
Linus Larrabee : I pay for your life, David. My life makes your life possible.
David Larrabee : I resent that.
Linus Larrabee : So do I.
-
Maude Larrabee : David, you're like my own son.
David Larrabee : I am your own son, Mother.
Maude Larrabee : Exactly! Now, I endured twenty-one hours of hard labor to bring you into the world. The doctors begged me to take drugs, but I kept saying I wouldn't do anything to hurt my child. Well, I've changed my mind - you screw up with Elizabeth and I swear I'll kill you.
-
Sabrina : [after David has invited her to his mother's party, despite not recognising her] Do you really want me to come?
David Larrabee : Very much, if you'll tell me who you are.
Linus Larrabee : Hello, Sabrina.
Sabrina : Hello, Linus.
David Larrabee : Sabrina?
Linus Larrabee : Have a good time in Paris?
Sabrina : Yes, thank you.
David Larrabee : Sabrina?
Linus Larrabee : You look all grown up.
David Larrabee : Sabrina?
Linus Larrabee : Why does he keep saying that?
-
David Larrabee : God, you're easy on me.
Elizabeth Tyson, MD : Okay then, why don't you marry me?
David Larrabee : [long pause] Okay, why don't I?
Elizabeth Tyson, MD : Don't kid about stuff like that.
David Larrabee : Okay.
[with determination]
David Larrabee : Why don't I?
Elizabeth Tyson, MD : You sure you know what it is?
David Larrabee : Yeah, that thing where you hang together a lot and sleep in the same room and button each other's hard-to-reach buttons...
Elizabeth Tyson, MD : [interrupting] Then I accept.
David Larrabee : Really?
[sheepish pause]
David Larrabee : Why?
-
David Larrabee : So this is all just a coincidence?
Linus Larrabee : It's an opportunity. What am I supposed to do? Disqualify myself from a billion dollar merger because I might have family connections?
[pulls a gun with silencer attached out of his desk and shoots a flat panel TV]
David Larrabee : [frightened] What are you doing? It was just a question.
Linus Larrabee : [walking over to the TV] Look at this thing. Not a scratch on it.
David Larrabee : Is this some new way of changing the subject?
-
David Larrabee : Now, Patrick, the debt burden this merger will accumulate will make it necessary to restructure some divisions. I've done a very quick review of last quarter's performance of each division of both companies.
Maude Larrabee : David, when did you ever?
David Larrabee : Mother, you've copied me on the financial standings of this company for 17 years. You just assumed I couldn't read.
-
David Larrabee : [after uncharacteristically asserting himself at the Larrabee office] Miss McCartle, I want to see you in my office right away.
[pause]
David Larrabee : Where - where is it?
-
Linus Larrabee : David, sit down.
David Larrabee : I can't talk right now, I have to be somewhere.
Linus Larrabee : Just sit down!
David Larrabee : [David sits and there is the sound of glass crunching] Owwwaaahhh!
Maude Larrabee : What?
David Larrabee : I sat on the glasses!
Linus Larrabee : Mother, go get Dr. Callaway. He's at the bar.
Maude Larrabee : Who put glasses on the chair?
David Larrabee : Can we talk about this later? I'm bleeding!
Maude Larrabee : Darling, don't worry, just elevate... something.
-
David Larrabee : [while he's under medication for his glass accident] Sabrina! Hi.
Sabrina : Hi.
David Larrabee : [nonsensically] Did the dry cleaners have your car?
-
David Larrabee : [to Linus] When you guys meet her, just try to make me look good. I mean I know I look good, but, you know, try to make me, you know, sound good. Mention my accomplishments, my qualities.
[a dubious look from Linus]
David Larrabee : You can be creative.
[an amused look from Linus]
David Larrabee : Lie, okay?
-
David Larrabee : She's a real woman, not a, you know.
Linus Larrabee : Transvestite?
David Larrabee : She's not a bimbo.
-
David Larrabee : Great hat, mother.
-
David Larrabee : [bursting into Linus's office] I need to talk to you.
Linus Larrabee : I'm in a meeting.
David Larrabee : When was the last time I came here?
Linus Larrabee : You're right.
-
David Larrabee : [talking about their mother's birthday] I got her a, uh, little Picasso. I'm having it wrapped in town.
Linus Larrabee : [vexed] What did that cost me?
David Larrabee : [unconcernedly] I don't know.
-
David Larrabee : You know, of all the girls I've known... and I've known some - isn't that a song? - you're the only girl I danced with only once.
Sabrina : Twice.
David Larrabee : What? How could I have forgotten? Was it the champagne?
Sabrina : I was eight, and you were taking dancing lessons. I was homework.
-
David Larrabee : [to Elizabeth] I'm going to tell you a story, I need you to tell me how it's going to turn out
[Elizabeth gives him a look]
-
Sabrina : [visiting David, who is heavily medicated, after his accident] Are you in a lot of pain?
David Larrabee : Am I in a lot of pain? Look at your little ha-yand. Guess what happened to me.
Sabrina : I know. I feel awful.
David Larrabee : Me too. How do you feel, Linus?
