Quotes 

• Gene Anders : This must be the cluck she was talking about in Switzerland.

  George Potter : Yeah, I'm afraid it is.

  Gene Anders : I'll have to do some fast talking. When a woman's upset, she's liable to marry anything.

  George Potter : That's why I'm here - to keep her form making that mistake.

  Berk Sutter : What kind of talk is that?

• Berk Sutter : Well, he's crazy - absolutely crazy.

  George Potter : Sure he is.

  Berk Sutter : Paris is crazy. You're crazy.

  George Potter : Drink your martini, before I hit you over the head with it.

• Kay Denham : I suppose you're wondering why I'm skating with you?

  George Potter : Not at all. You don't like me, but you like skating.

  Kay Denham : That's not even close. I want to talk to you about last night.

• George Potter : You know, Gene, I envy you.

  Gene Anders : Why?

  George Potter : Heh! You believed what I just said. I wish I could.

  Gene Anders : That was the dirtiest crack of all.

  George Potter : I know; but, again, I apologize.

• Berk Sutter : Say, you got a cigarette for me?

  George Potter : Would you mind awfully if we stopped talking?

• Berk Sutter : Where's your friend? Why doesn't he come back?

  George Potter : How should I know. And he's not my friend.

  Berk Sutter : Well, what is he?

  George Potter : He's my mother.

• Kay Denham : George, you're a very good friend of Gene's, aren't you?

  George Potter : Yes, in a way.

  Kay Denham : Wh... what do you mean by that?

  George Potter : Heh, I mean yes.

  Kay Denham : Well, I want to ask you about him. But first, I'll tell you something. I'm asking you because, for some reason, I feel I can trust you.

  George Potter : Huh, that's one of my weaknesses.

• Gene Anders : Now, don't get excited. After all, you're my friend.

  George Potter : Oh, no, I'm not. I'm a nasty man.

• George Potter : It's rather humiliating of course, to realize that sympathy's just a mild form of stupidity. It's like reaching for a match and then discovering you've left your trousers at home.

• Kay Denham : [Just before bobsledding]  This is going to be fun.

  George Potter : Yeah. It looks like a pleasant form of suicide.

• George Potter : Did I do that

  Kay Denham : Oh, no. I was limping when I came in.
