Casanova Brown
- Casanova Brown: A man's not capable of taking care of a baby according to the courts. He can build bridges, he can fly around the world, he can be president and run the whole United States, but taking care of a child is too much for him! For that you've got to be a woman. Any woman!
- Casanova Brown: As for my character. I believe I behave responsibly. I'm not overly susceptible to girls.
- Casanova Brown: I think you got exactly what you deserved for being a shameless, unmitigated scoundrel.
- J.J. Ferris: I suppose so. But it was a bitter disappointment just the same.
- Casanova Brown: [dreamily] Her eyes were like burned, charred embers in a field of snow.
- J.J. Ferris: Big face, eh?
- Casanova Brown: It is my baby, isn't it?
- Isabel Drury: Technically, yes.
- Casanova Brown: What's the idea of giving my technical baby away?
- J.J. Ferris: What was she like?
- Casanova Brown: Have you ever seen the sun come up at dawn?
- J.J. Ferris: I have. It nauseated me.
- Casanova Brown: Eh, eh, don't you think we oughtta wait for a more propitious moment? If he's already angry...
- Madge Ferris: He's always angry since we put him on the allowance, Cas. Come along.
- J.J. Ferris: The shape of things to come, my boy.
- Casanova Brown: Oh, rot. Where else could you get $25 a week just by sitting around developing stomach ulcers?
- [$450 in 2025]
- Casanova Brown: Do you mean that you would base your approval or disapproval of your daughter's marriage on that nonsense?
- Mrs. Drury: Nonsense, Mr. Brown?
- Mr. Drury: Couldn't probably have picked a worse word.
- Mrs. Drury: On September 3rd, Sagittarius was in the fifth solar house of Neptune.
- Casanova Brown: Oh, really?
- Mrs. Drury: I don't suppose that had ever occurred to you.
- Casanova Brown: No, I can't say that it has.
- Casanova Brown: It's no use, J.J. This is the day before my wedding. And I refuse to be demoralized by a cold-blooded, old ... . like you.
- Mrs. Drury: If there's anything I object to it's a young man who's allowed himself to fall victim to the cigarettes.
- Casanova Brown: Oh, absolutely. So do I.
- Mrs. Drury: Or a liar. To me, a liar is even lower than a cigarette fiend.
- Casanova Brown: There's no question about that at all.
