- Sally Murfin: Oh Mr. Donay, you're a married man. I don't think I should even be talking to you.
- Peter Donay: Don't you know it isn't nice to bring up the fact that a man is married just when he is making love to you?
- Sally Murfin: Why?
- Sally Murfin: There are two kinds of women, Mr. Donay, nice girls and the other kind. Mr. Donay, I certainly hope you don't think that I'm the other kind.
- Delilah Donay: [Peter has just handed her a brandy nightcap] Nice, drinking in a bedroom... gives one a sense of gentle decadence.
- Peter Donay: I think you're lovely, Sally. Far to lovely to end your life before it begins. I think you're born to make wise men foolish and sad men gay.
- Peter Donay: Every night I toss counting the hours until I'll see you again. My throat pounds so I can hardly breath.
- Sally Murfin: Well, that sounds like heartburn. My father's about your age and he has trouble sleeping, too.
- Peter Donay: [startled, flustered look]
- Brillon: [looking longingly at Sally] Outside it's spring and life's calling.
- Sally Murfin: What is it about me that makes everybody all the time tell me life is calling?
- Sally Murfin: Gee, Mr. Donay, when you come so close to me like that, it's hard for me to tell you what I got to tell you.
- Peter Donay: Your eyes tell me everything I want to know.
- Sally Murfin: I don't know what you mean, Mr. Donay.
- Peter Donay: Of course you don't. Men spend their whole lives being destroyed by inferior creatures who can't understand plain English.
- Sally Murfin: But, you don't speak plain English, Mr. Donay. And I never meant to destroy anybody. I just try going my own way, minding my own business, doing the best I - I can.
- Peter Donay: Like a Panzer division.
- Sally Murfin: What do you mean? What do you mean being so fresh to Mr. Donay. Do you want me to get fired?
- Freddie Bilson: Fired? I thought you were gonna quit.
- Freddie Bilson: I trust you all right, it's just the ideas you give the other guys, that bothers me.
- Sally Murfin: Well, is it my fault that men have to be so silly?
- Peter Donay: Well, I don't know what's going to happen. I can't keep my eye on everybody around here.
- Johnny: No, sir. Not everybody.
- Johnny: She's in love with Freddie, I suppose. But, she's a child. And her heart is still hard - like a green apple.
- Johnny: Matters are not so serious yet. He's still begging her for a kiss.
- Delilah Donay: Proving what?
- Johnny: Well, she is still refusing to kiss him. Now, doesn't that make you feel better?
- Delilah Donay: How can you be so stupid, Johnny? It makes me feel a great deal worse.
- Johnny: Why?
- Delilah Donay: That's exactly how I got him to marry me.
- Sally Murfin: You don't need to worry about us knowing you're worried, Mr. Donay.
- Peter Donay: I'm not worried.
- Delilah Donay: He can learn. Sally can coach him.
- Sally Murfin: Well, I could try. I've already been telling him about all the universes undreamed of in his philosophy.
- Peter Donay: You came here to plead for your dashing, masterful, hot-tempered, fire-eating, renegade lover!
- Sally Murfin: Are you talking about Freddie?
- Delilah Donay: I'm being to take to this whole idea. After all, at a dance, one does change partners.
- Peter Donay: Life is not a dance!
- Sally Murfin: Life is what we make it.
- Delilah Donay: We?
- Sally Murfin: Life's got an awful lot of things in it we couldn't even dream about; because, nobody told us about 'em before.
- Sally Murfin: I am not a golddigger. I wouldn't have married you if you'd one 10 lotteries you - you gold-chaser!
- Sally Murfin: You know what? I had a peculiar feeling when I came and it's gettin' peculiarer and peculiarer.
- Delilah Donay: Can't we deal with this thing like civilized people?
- Peter Donay: In the last 12 hours, I've come to the conclusion that when women get civilized that we are really reverting to the law of the jungle.
- Delilah Donay: You're very broad-minded for one of your age.
- Sally Murfin: I was just going to say the same thing to you.
