- John Arlen: Oh have a heart, lady. How'd I know you were gonna turn out like this?
- Georgia Drake: You expected an old, fat dimwit, didn't you?
- John Arlen: Georgia, huh, at my age, but, when a man has just so long, and... ..
- [sic]
- Georgia Drake: What's the background of the play?
- Pamela Drake: Uh, the Swiss Alps. Very colorful, you know - mountain people.
- Georgia Drake: You mean this naval officer lives in the Swiss Alps?
- Sara Frankenstein: They haven't even got a navy in Switzerland.
- Pamela Drake: Well, it's kinda hard to explain. But the dialog's wonderful. It clears the whole thing up.
- Sara Frankenstein: It must be some dialog.
- Georgia Drake: Your friends - one sends a message that he's broken his leg. The last fellow says he shot himself.
- John Arlen: Now, Georgia, I explained that.
- Georgia Drake: An actress never belittles another actress, Pam.
- Pamela Drake: Honest criticism is the guardian of art, ..
- Georgia Drake: [Joining in, both women] .. the servant of the sincere and the despair and destruction of dishonesty.
- Georgia Drake: Don't tell me - let me guess. Your house is on fire. That means that you sent a message to yourself, to eat breakfast tomorrow.
- John Arlen: No, it's really on fire. I did it myself to collect the insurance.
- Sidney Simpson: You know, he came 4,000 miles to see you, and was seasick all the way.
- Georgia Drake: Oh, I'm awfully sorry.
- Karl Ober: I would have gladly swum the entire distance - do you say swum?
- Sidney Simpson: I don't know, Karl. I always avoid the word.
- Georgia Drake: You see, there's no disgrace in having a failure. But you mustn't have a part that makes you look bad.
- Governor Allen: Stop complaining, John. Miss Drake is going to sing.
- Georgia Drake: I'd consider it an honor.
- John Arlen: You haven't even got the right Miss Drake. I said Miss Pamela Drake.
- Governor Allen: I just took it for granted you meant Miss Georgia Drake.
- John Arlen: All right. Now, will you please ask Miss Pamela Drake to sing?
- Governor Allen: Come on, Pamela, he's crazy.
- Pamela Drake: [Describing a make-believe play] You see, he's not good enough for her.
- Georgia Drake: Why not?
- Pamela Drake: Well, he, he's kinda sickly. He inherited it.
- Sara Frankenstein: Kinda stollen from Ibsen, isn't it? That's these new authors for you.
- Georgia Drake: And he can't lose a whole evening of his life just watching someone make noise with soup.
- John Arlen: Oh, now you're exaggerating. I knew that you weren't going to make noises with your soup.
- Georgia Drake: What course did you expect to get away on? After the fish wasn't it?
- John Arlen: No, no. I was gonna last all through dinner. I swear.
- Georgia Drake: Coffee and everything? Oh, that was too much.
- Georgia Drake: Wait a minute! Just a minute!
- Pamela Drake: For heaven's sake, just because a man asks me to marry him doesn't mean I'm going to. I'm very fond of him. He was very sweet to me on the boat, and I promised that you and I would have dinner with him tonight. Now, is that too much to ask?
- Georgia Drake: I'd like a few years of just being married. Really married.
- John Arlen: A few years?
- Georgia Drake: Well, uh, a few years for a honeymoon. You wouldn't mind if I went back to the theater sometime, would you?
- Sara Frankenstein: How old is he?
- Pamela Drake: Well, he's over 18.
- Sara Frankenstein: Twenty?
- Pamela Drake: I'd say forty.
- Georgia Drake: Forty?
- Pamela Drake: [Mimicking walking with her fingers] Yes, mother. A real, grown up man. Like you see walking around, and he doesn't need his mother's permission to get married.
- Sara Frankenstein: Yes, but you do. And don't you forget it for one minute.
- Georgia Drake: Sara, Pam almost fell in love again - on the boat.
- Sara Frankenstein: I thought you gave men up when, when Lindbergh got married, wasn't it?
