Quotes7

  • Mrs. Jescott: Somewhere, at this very minute, he's probably lifting a glass in a bar or some woman's skirt or both! And you know it.
  • Emily Liggett: Oh, Mother, don't be vulgar!
  • Mrs. Jescott: Vulgarity has its uses.
  • Man: [trying to check in a shady motel] I see you're all filled up.
  • Man: Oh, well, I wouldn't be Happy if I wasn't.
  • [sees Gloria waiting in the car]
  • Man: We always have room for two more weary travelers.
  • Emily Liggett: Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to get some rest.
  • Man: Oh, sure. I know, I know. Hey, I've got a new joke for ya! Now, it's crazy and there's some words that you may not have heard...
  • Emily Liggett: Now, please...
  • Man: But, it seems there were these two old maids...
  • Emily Liggett: Now, some other time, Happy. Later.
  • Man: Oh, sure. A man's got to get his rest. He's got to get it regular.
  • Emily Liggett: I was asked if you'd consider being elected to the board of governors.
  • Weston Liggett: Why me? Nobody on that board is under 60. Isn't that where aging, useless executives go to die?
  • Emily Liggett: Why do you say such cruel things about yourself?
  • Weston Liggett: To beat everybody, including you, to the punch.
  • Mrs. Jescott: You're not running a mission for lost egos.
  • Emily Liggett: Mother, I'm running a marriage. Not just through the good days, but through the bad days too.
  • Emily Liggett: This is real life, not a television serial.
  • Emily Liggett: I've seen you drink many times, but never in the morning like this.
  • Weston Liggett: Don't worry, Emily. It's not alcoholism. It's just a kind of medicine.
