Quotes 

• Francesca : I found out exactly the dress she was going to wear, and I had it copied. Then, I walked right up to their table and I said to the girl I considered it an insult to *her* that they sold *me* the same dress, and I would take it right off! She would just have to say the word.

  Guest #1 : Did she?

  Francesca : No, but he did.

  Guest #2 : And?

  Francesca : And so I took it off!

  Guest #3 : In front of everybody?

  Francesca : Of course! The prince and I have been close friends ever since.

• Cordelia : This morning I noticed my green dress still hanging in the closet. Why didn't you get it off to the cleaners?

  Francesca : Why, Godfrey! You never had any trouble getting my dresses off... to the cleaners.

• Godfrey : How is your husband, madam?

  Francesca : Which one?

  Godfrey : Any one.

• Francesca : I did what any well-trained employer would do. I said, Godfrey, if you really feel that your wife and five children need you more than we do, good luck.

  Angelica : *Five* children?

  Francesca : It is five, isn't it?

  Godfrey : Somewhere about that, madam.

• Francesca : You know, I could be at the bottom of the ocean and Elliott would still find me and put in a call to me.

• Francesca : You have a wonderful memory.

  Godfrey : Pleasant things are hard to forget.

• Francesca : Here's my luck, added to yours.

• Francesca : I'm sure Elliott's Rolls Royce is in front, and I don't mind being followed by men, but Rolls Royces always embarrass me.

• Francesca : After a sleepless night, men go to the steam room and women wear dark glasses.

• Francesca : There's only one thing Elliott doesn't have, and that's me.

• Francesca : You really have grown very fond of that family, haven't you?

  Godfrey : Sort of.

  Francesca : All of them?

  Godfrey : Some of them.

• Francesca : Darling, no one lets a woman marry or even talks her into it. I made up my mind weeks ago to marry Elliott. And there's no law that says I can't do what I want, and also benefit by it.

• Francesca : No undying gratitude, please.
