Amy Lind : [Virginia is disappointed that Amy didn't change] I'm proud of my uniform. It's a sign to the men that women not only have the same right to work as the men, but that in the eyes...
Virginia Brush : Ooh hush, Amy. You're not at a suffragette meeting now!
Amy Lind : [continuing her tirade] The tyranny for man or for woman. The stupid convention that says a woman will wear such and such. The outmoded...

Virginia Brush : Who cares if we ever get to vote.

Amy Lind : [Amy winks at a man in the park]
Virginia Brush : Amy!
Amy Lind : Yes, dear.
Virginia Brush : If there's something in your eye, Amy, I'll help you get it out.
Amy Lind : Oh, bosh. There's nothing in my eye, I just plain and simple winked at him that's all.
Virginia Brush : No, Amy. Either he's an old friend of the family's or there's something in your eye.
Amy Lind : I never saw him before in my life until a few minutes ago when I passed Fisher's drug store.
Virginia Brush : [excited] Oh, Amy. He followed you here?
Amy Lind : No. I followed him.
Virginia Brush : Oh, Amy.

Virginia Brush : [Biff and Hugo arrive in the park]
Virginia Brush : Now listen. We won't say a word to them. Just let them pass. Of course if they say something, we'll say something.
Amy Lind : And if they don't say anything, we won't say anything.
Virginia Brush : No. Just drop your eyes.
Amy Lind : Drop my eyes?
Virginia Brush : Yes. That'll show them we're good girls and they can't trifle with us.
Amy Lind : Well, for goodness sakes, what did we come here for if not to be trifled with.

Amy Lind : [Amy accuses her of asking Hugo out without being properly introduced]
Virginia Brush : Why I never did any such thing! I simply happened to mention that I was in habit of taking walks in the park with my girlfriend. And besides in moral I didn't wink.
Amy Lind : Don't be a hypocrite, Virginia. Spiritually, you winked.

Virginia Brush : Honey, why can't you be nice to me once in a while?

Biff Grimes : Gosh, you look wonderful!
Virginia Brush : Oh, Biff, but you...? Is that another black eye or the same one?

Virginia Brush : [waiting to meet their dates] Now listen. We won't say a word to them. Just let them pass. Oh, of course, if they say something, we'll say something.

Amy Lind : Drop my eyes?
Virginia Brush : Yes. That'll show them we're good girls and they can't trifle with us.

Virginia Brush : [Amy winks at a stranger] Will you stop that. What will people think of us?
Amy Lind : Virginia, be sensible. That's the way men behave towards women. There's no reason why women shouldn't behave that way right back. The single standard of morals...
Virginia Brush : I refuse to listen to advanced ideas.

Virginia Brush : Why don't you pick your mind up out of the gutter?
Hugo Barnstead : Why should I? You helped put it there.
