Milly Wetherby
- Virginia: Sure, he should be committed!
- Milly: Of course, you'd want me to commit him, get him out of your life, put him away permanently someplace where he can never again remind either one of you of your horrible guilt; how you and you had committed the ugliest of all possible sins, so ugly that it drove him into the state he's in now!
- Mr. Hanson: What kind of a woman are you to be satisfied with only half a man? There must be so...
- Milly: Even when he doesn't know what he's doing, he's a saner man than you are! He's decent and proud. Can you say the same for yourselves? Where's your decency? In what garbage dump, Mr. Hanson? And where's yours, you tramp?
- Mr. Hanson: I don't have to listen to that!
- Virginia: She's the one who's crazy!
- Mr. Hanson: She has to be crazy to put up with that weakling!
- Milly: You, his loving, doting fraud of a father! And you, you SLUT! You're both so consumed with evil, so ROTTEN! Your filthy souls are too evil for Hell itself!
- Burt Hanson: Aw, Milly. You wouldn't want me to spend the rest of my life with a bubble-gum addict. Would you, Milly?
- Milly: Sorry, I goofed!
- Burt Hanson: You "goofed?" Hey, man, that's "Bop" talk! Where did you ever pick that up?
- Milly: Well, why shouldn't I pick up an expression here and there? I'm not THAT old!
- Milly: You're both so consumed with evil. So rotten, your filthy souls are too evil for hell itself.
- Burt Hanson: [Last lines] You didn't even give me a chance to say hello.
- Milly: Did you want a chance?
- Burt Hanson: [Nods] Hello. Milly.
- [They kiss]
- Milly: I think people are staring at us.
- Burt Hanson: Well, do you care?
- Milly: No - let them!
- [after meeting Milly's landlady, Liz, who is sporting a garishly "loud" Hawaiian-type, floral shirt]
- Burt Hanson: Who's the character?
- Milly: [smiles] Liz Eckhardt. She's the manager.
- Burt Hanson: Is she always dressed for Halloween? In the middle of the summer?
- Milly: [laughs] That happens to be one of her most conservative outfits!
- Liz Eckhart: Nobody can help you now.
- Milly: Why cant they? When do I get my turn? Everybody needs help don't they? I need help too. Maybe I don't want to find out how he feels.
- Liz Eckhart: Being in love is never easy, and the more in love you are, the less easy and more lonesome it gets.
- Milly: The present is made up of little bits of the past. You can't just throw it out of your mind like something used up and worthless.
- Liz Eckhart: If you ask me, you give 'em the brush off. But don't ask me why.
- Milly: Maybe I'm just too choosy.
- Liz Eckhart: Maybe you're just plain scared.
