  • Everett Bauer: You find my touch repugnent?
  • Carol Corman: [as she punches out] No, it's, uh, just that I haven't had my tetanus shot.
  • Carol Corman: [as she throws darts at David's shirt hanging on the door] He's an animal. A depraved, cunning animal.
  • Carol Corman: I'll go to see the chief psychiarist. I'll plead with him.
  • David Sloane: No, don't. He's a man. No, you've been through enough. Now, just get into a taxi. Go straight home, and be sure the driver's a woman.
  • Harry Hunter: Now that we've established my guilt, I think you will concide that a promotion is a proper subject for discussion.
  • Carol Corman: Not under these conditions. I would be accepting a bribe to remain quiet.
  • Harry Hunter: Miss Corman, I always search for honesty and integrity. Its unfortunate to run across it at this particular moment. Couldn't you find it in your heart to be just a little corrupt?
  • Carol Corman: Pardon me.
  • David Sloane: Yes?
  • Carol Corman: Do you have the time?
  • David Sloane: No.
  • Carol Corman: It's 10 after five.
  • [David thinks to himself: Harry didn't say she was bright]
  • Carol Corman: I hope Lester's mother's better.
  • Marcia Borie: Ever since we told her we're getting married, she's been bed-ridden with joy.
  • Carol Corman: You're like one of the family.
  • Roger: But that shouldn't rule out marriage. I mean, husbands are often thought of as one of the family.
  • Carol Corman: Roger, uh I don't love you.
  • Roger: Carol, marriage is a serious subject. Now, you mustn't drag in emotional issues. You see, in the insurance business, we deal in cold facts and research. We are a good marriage risk. Statistically, we will be in the upper third economic level. We will have 2.7 children.
  • Carol Corman: Roger, I'm not questioning your figures, but I don't want a 0.7 child. I don't want a marriage blessed by a slide rule. It is an emotional decision.
  • Roger: We have never tested your emotional reaction to me.
  • David Sloane: Have you any plans for tonight?
  • Carol Corman: Just a convulsion.
  • David Sloane: Wouldn't you rather have a drink?
  • Carol Corman: Honesty is just something you grow up with.
  • Carol Corman: My father always said, "Plant a cabbage, grow a cabbage." The same with a lie.
  • Muriel Laszlo: When he comes home at night and he's quiet and you ask him what's wrong, and he says, "Nothing," never say, "What do you mean, nothing?' Because he doesn't mean nothing. It's something. If he really had nothing on his mind, he'd tell you all about it.
  • Carol Corman: Oh. When I figure that out, I'm going to try to remember it.
  • Carol Corman: [In her thoughts about David] Such a rare combination. So masculine and yet so sensitive.
  • David Sloane: [In his thoughts about Carol] If she had the guts to tell me a story like that, why haven't I got the guts to hit her with that ketchup bottle?
  • David Sloane: I have a friend who's in trouble. He doesn't know it, and I have to warn him.
  • Carol Corman: You're the kind of man who would go out in the middle of the night to help a friend.
  • Carol Corman: [after her neighbor welcomes her with gifts] Bread and salt?
  • Muriel Laszlo: It's tradition. It means, may there always be food in the house.
  • Carol Corman: You don't just set people adrift on an ice flow when they've outlived their usefulness.
  • Carol Corman: There is one type of woman that's very popular with men.
  • David Sloane: Yeah, what type is that?
  • Carol Corman: Widows.
  • David Sloane: Well, that's a little extreme, but I want to help.
  • Carol Corman: Particularly those with small children. It stimulates a man's protective instincts. If you were really concerned about my future happiness, you'd leave me a widow with, uh... five, uh... or six small children.
  • David Sloane: It's probably best you become a young widow.
  • Carol Corman: It will help.
  • Carol Corman: The twisted, perverted mind that would make up a story like that.
  • Carol Corman: Oh! He gave me till sundown!
  • Thelma: Well, it's time to saddle up.
  • Carol Corman: "Get out by sundown!" Like I'm a cattle rustler!
  • Thelma: It's the range, honey. When they say, "Git!" you start ridin'.
  • Carol Corman: Just like that, huh?
  • Thelma: It's frontier justice.
  • Carol Corman: [Walking outside a posh restaurant with a sign that reads, I am David Sloane's mistress. He will not pay my rent. Please help me!]
