    Tim Borden : That will be swell and there'll be a nice little item in tomorrow's paper asking what Fifth Avenue matron has been run out of her home by what young blonde.

    Mrs. Borden : I'm not a matron!

    Tim Borden : You can't run out on us. Suppose she marries father?

    Katherine Borden : What's wrong with that? She's young and pretty.

    Mrs. Borden : Are you implying that I'm old and ugly!

    Mrs. Borden : It, eh, shows off my figure, doesn't it?

    Mr. Borden : It shows a lot of it, if that's what you mean.

  • Mrs. Borden : Well, the young people today are very irresponsible.

    Mr. Borden : What?

    [laughs] 

    Mrs. Borden : I knew you'd be pleased.
