Alexander 'Lex' Porter
- Alexander 'Lex' Porter: Can I ask you a corny question?
- Alfred Eaton: If you don't mind me giving you a corny answer.
- Alexander 'Lex' Porter: Are you getting anything out of your success besides more success?
- Sage Rimmington: Darling, if you'll excuse me, I think I'll put on something more comfortable, hmmm? Like my husband!
- Alexander 'Lex' Porter: Uh, bye, sweetie.
- Alexander 'Lex' Porter: She's secretly engaged to the guy she's with, the doctor, Jim Roper. I really don't think he's rich enough for her, but if it isn't him, it'll be someone else who is. If you're not thinking of marrying her, you can forget about anything else. She's really saving it that way.
- Alfred Eaton: You want to make a little bet?
- Alexander 'Lex' Porter: Let's start right now. Now, would you look at this? 200 beautiful Long Island virgins, Markel's dance music, buckets of champagne, and I'm the guest of honor. Now, how can I lose?
- Alfred Eaton: I met something called Clemmie.
- Alexander 'Lex' Porter: Oh, Clemmie Shreve. Now, I'm saving that for a rainy night.
- Alfred Eaton: Who's Mary St. John?
- Alexander 'Lex' Porter: Her old man's with the DuPont Corporation down in Wilmington. Fancy pedigree. Papers on both sides.
- Alexander 'Lex' Porter: You haven't got the necessary qualifications.
- Alfred Eaton: Well, there are all kinds of qualifications.
- Alexander 'Lex' Porter: [flying an airplane] Oh, I like this little baby. She's like my ideal woman. Handles easily. Levels off without too much work.
