  • Barry Nichols, Lady Sybil Wren: [singing] I've got to say, In everyday, You're just too, too...
  • Barry Nichols: You know, old man, if this is meant to be a bribe - l'm definitely interested.
  • Lady Sybil Wren: l don't mind being compared to a hoot owl. They're rather sweet. But, well, you don't really think of me as ''cold-blooded,'' do you? I mean, all Americans think the English are.
  • Barry Nichols: Oh, no, no. The English - now, take the Latins, they light up like a paper fire. You're more like hard coal.

  • Barry Nichols: It's the story of my life. Even when l was a kid, if l brought a sick puppy home, it bit me.

  • Lady Sybil Wren: Dear old Dad forgets that his little girls have blossomed into womanhood.
