- Cynthia Warren: Oh, Olga, have you ever been in love?
- Olga Raimoff aka Tessie Burns: Many times.
- Cynthia Warren: Tell me about it.
- Olga Raimoff aka Tessie Burns: Men are all alike - one day they kiss you... and the next day they kick you.
- Cynthia Warren: Well, you can see them every other day, can't you?
- Randolph Morgan: You're not the same girl you were when you landed here from the farm. Why don't you take your vacation on the farm - with me?
- Olga Raimoff aka Tessie Burns: No, thanks. If I were home now it would be hog feeding time. Isn't that pretty? There's always some special time for women to worry about: breakfast time, laundry time, feeding time for the stock, feeding time for the men. Thank heavens I'm free of all that. It's going to be cocktail time for me!
- Randolph Morgan: That mob you have up there gets into my hair.
- Cynthia Warren: Oh, they do? Well, what's the matter with my friends?
- Randolph Morgan: Well, you'll find out - if you ever run out of liquor.
- Cynthia Warren: Here's your sketch.
- Randolph Morgan: Nice job, Cynthia - especially the legs.
- Cynthia Warren: They've got nice faces too.
- Randolph Morgan: Who ever looks at the faces?
- Randolph Morgan: I didn't write the rules of this game of sex. I don't even say they are fair. But, there they are - and neither of us can rewrite them.
- Cynthia Warren: You're a narrow minded, stubborn, egotistical, fatuous, detestable...
- Randolph Morgan: Just say man and be done with it.
- Cynthia Warren: Man!
- Randolph Morgan: The trouble with you is, you're all swollen up with that silly little success of yours.
- Cynthia Warren: I didn't work for success. I worked for freedom. And I got it! You're jealous of it. You want me to surrender it just because I'm a woman.
- Randolph Morgan: Freedom. Biologically, because you are a woman, you're licked before you start.
- Cynthia Warren: Are you going to England on business?
- William Lawton: Well, no. No, not exactly. My grandfather had business interests there. He had a branch factory. You see, he made corsets. Yes, skads of them.
- Cynthia Warren: So, you owe your success to corsets.
- William Lawton: Quite. I'm afraid if the old gentleman were alive today, he would be forced to manufacture, eh...
- Cynthia Warren: I know. I wear them.
- Captain: I have so little spare time in the crossing, but, if you wish to do me, why...
- Cynthia Warren: I'd love to - do you.
- Randolph Morgan: Have a good time. Reach for the stars. Grab all the moonbeams you can, darling. You're a grand girl, Cynthia.
- Cynthia Warren: I suppose you came down to apologize.
- Randolph Morgan: Apologize for what?
- Cynthia Warren: For what? For your outrageous conduct, for your stupid, childish, caveman tactics! Why, if it hadn't been for your watchman, I'd have missed my boat.
- Randolph Morgan: What do you think I locked you in the closet for?
- William Lawton: I shall see you at dinner, if I may.
- Cynthia Warren: Order me a plate of moonlight on the half shell.
- [wink]
- Randolph Morgan: I'd have fired that watchman if he hadn't been a father of four children. Four children. You know, Cynthia, that's just about the size of the ideal family: two boys and two girls.
- Olga Raimoff aka Tessie Burns: [cocktail toast] Here's to that inferior animal: man.
- Cynthia Warren: To his ultimate defeat.
- Olga Raimoff aka Tessie Burns: Take two men. If one of them fell in love with a girl and the other one knew that his friend was making a mistake, he'd tell, wouldn't he?
- Cynthia Warren: Why, of course he would.
- Olga Raimoff aka Tessie Burns: Not always.
- William Lawton: Oh, Cynthia, I want so much to show you England in spring when the first primroses crowd the riverbanks.
- Cynthia Warren: I must be *lovely*.
- William Lawton: At night it's so quiet. No one about to watch. You can slip into the water with scarcely a ripple and swim silently like a white ghost. And the water caresses your body with the - like the soft touch of a woman's hand.
- Cynthia Warren: Oh, Billy. You don't know what you're doing to me.
- Cynthia Warren: I'm more accustomed to painting leggy females.
- Olga Raimoff aka Tessie Burns: Oh, you say that as if you dislike women.
- Cynthia Warren: Well, I can't say I'm crazy about them. Are you?
- Olga Raimoff aka Tessie Burns: They bore me. Also, they dislike me and I'm human enough to resent when I am resented. Do stay and have a cocktail with me.
- Cynthia Warren: [singing] Remember this, Any kiss, Loses it's bliss, When it's only saying goodbye...
- Cynthia Warren: A little late with your moonlight, Billy.
- William Lawton: I shall have some caught up in bottles, Cynthia, so you'll always have moonbeams to sprinkle in your hair.
- Cynthia Warren: You're sure your grandfather made corsets? He didn't write poetry, did he?
- William Lawton: As a matter of fact, he did. Secretly, of course. So many men are ashamed of any refinements they have.
- Cynthia Warren: [looking down at Billy's crotch] You don't parade yours.
- William Lawton: Mine wants developing. You could do that easily, Cynthia.
- William Lawton: The river runs clear. Rupert Brooke, the poet, swam there. Before him, Alfred Lord Byron.
- Cynthia Warren: Egotists. Both of them.
- William Lawton: Yes. But women love them greatly.
- Cynthia Warren: Do you think that every woman should be married?
- Barfly: I certainly do. That's all what the sex is good for.
- Cynthia Warren: I wonder what a man would do in a case like this?
- Olga Raimoff aka Tessie Burns: Grab himself the first dizzy blonde he met, go somewhere, and get ossified.
- Cynthia Warren: Not a bad idea. I'm going to get so cockeyed tonight that they'll have to put me to bed with a sponge.
- Olga Raimoff aka Tessie Burns: That's the stuff to feed the troops!
- Cynthia Warren: I'm going to get *so* cockeyed tonight that they'll have to put me to bed with a sponge.
- William Lawton: I'll go. Only I don't believe you can shed off the memory of that night, like old clothes put away with mothballs. You'll take them out sometime and dust them off. And when you do, I should like to be around.
- Cynthia Warren: I would like to thank you for all you've done.
- Randolph Morgan: It was nothing. I'd have done the same for any American.
- Cynthia Warren: Or Chinaman, for that matter.
- Mrs. Pat Lawton: So, you paint all those stunning girls that advertise my favorite brand of American cigarettes?
- Cynthia Warren: Most of them.
- Mrs. Pat Lawton: Where in the world do you find all those good looking legs?
- Cynthia Warren: Well, you see, I paint my own.
- Raoul Alvarez: [Olga is pulling him away from the breakfast table] Just when a man is getting interested in grapefruit, then comes a woman.
- Cynthia Warren: [Talking through the door, after she has been locked in the bathroom] What are you going to do?
- Randolph Morgan: I'm going out to get you some dinner. With enough courses to keep you busy until the ship has safely passed the Statue of Liberty.
- Cynthia Warren: I'll die first!
- Randolph Morgan: Oh, no, you won't. Only the good die young. And you're a wicked, ridiculous little fool. Why, the only reason I want to marry you is to reform you.
- Olga Raimoff aka Tessie Burns: [Suddenly dropping her phony Russian accent] Say, do you mind if I stop being Russian for awhile?
- Cynthia Warren: [shocked] You mean you're not Russian?
- Olga Raimoff aka Tessie Burns: Oh, professionally, yes, but, oh, it gets a little exhausting at times... I was born in Kansas.
- Cynthia Warren: Shades of Topeka! So was I!
- [they shake hands warmly]
- Olga Raimoff aka Tessie Burns: Well, that, and the fact that we're on our own, ought to be something to start with.
- Cynthia Warren: What's your name... Olga Raimoff?
- Olga Raimoff aka Tessie Burns: Pretty, isn't it? So musical. Well, to let you know the worst, my real name is Tessie Burns.
- Cynthia Warren: "Tessie"?
- [lets out a laugh]
- Cynthia Warren: Lady, you extinguish me!
