- Harriet Thomas: [to Anastasia after tripping her up in the park] Sometimes girls like you go down and down until at last they fall victim to narcotics!
- Ted Foster: I thought that if you wanted to marry a girl you were supposed to ask her father...
- Harry C. Thomas: You must be talking about some other father, some other family. Not a family with only one father and three daughters. Nobody asks him anything. He's lucky if he gets told.
- Anastasia Atherton: [to Harriet after escaping her ambush in the park] Now I know why some animals eat their young!
- Harriet Thomas: [watching Mary primp in front of the mirror] You know, it don't make you any prettier to keep lookin' at yourself in the mirror... I found that out last week.
