Christine Baranski: Agnes Van Rhijn

Quotes 

• Oscar Van Rhijn : Oh, I'm dining with Larry Russell.

  Agnes Van Rhijn : Where?

  Oscar Van Rhijn : At his parents' house, of course.

  Agnes Van Rhijn : When you say those words, you stab me in the side.

  Oscar Van Rhijn : Then it's lucky you have the skin of a rhinoceros.

• Ada Brook : Oh, look. Miss Russell is going out.

  Marian Brook : With her wretched governess. How can she stand it?

  Agnes Van Rhijn : I will not criticize Mrs. Russell for her only virtue. At least she keeps her daughter under control.

  Marian Brook : Under arrest, more like.

• Marian Brook : It's from Mr. Raikes. He got the job he was here to interview for, so he's living in New York.

  Agnes Van Rhijn : And what is that to you?

  Marian Brook : You can't ask me to cut him dead.

  Agnes Van Rhijn : My dear, should you meet Mr. Raikes in the street, then of course not. But I suggest only that you do not seek him out. He is not fit to be one of your circle. He is not a suitable companion, that is all.

  Marian Brook : All? It seems like a great deal to me. I do not wish to marry Mr. Raikes.

  Agnes Van Rhijn : Then we have no quarrel.

• Agnes Van Rhijn : Anyway, Eckhard had no money, which did not endear him to Papa. No money and no prospects.

  Ada Brook : I'm afraid not.

  Agnes Van Rhijn : I wonder what he wants now.

  Marian Brook : He's lonely. He's just arrived in the city, and he hopes to find some old friends.

  Agnes Van Rhijn : So all this time, he's dreamed of seeing Ada again?

  Ada Brook : There's no need to be unkind.

  Marian Brook : Maybe he has dreamed of seeing Aunt Ada. What's wrong with that?
