Myra Gardener
- Rex Brewster: [needling about financial loss caused by Arlena leaving their show] Anyway darlings, it must have cost you a pretty bundle closing a hit show like that. Would either of you care to comment on that?
- Odell Gardener: Why don't you go and play with yourself.
- Myra Gardener: Excessively.
- Rex Brewster: Is coarseness a substitute for wit, I ask myself?
- Myra Gardener: Well, what the hell do we do now, Odell?
- Odell Gardener: Just leave it to me. I'll think of something.
- Myra Gardener: Hmmph, my hero. I swear, if you were a man I would divorce you.
- Myra Gardener: There she goes, not a care in the world.
- Odell Gardener: I'll make her care.
- Myra Gardener: Oh, what do you know about care? If it had been up to you, the good Samaritan would have passed by on the other side.
- Odell Gardener: I have an idea but I need to work it out.
- Myra Gardener: Yeah, well don't forget about my cousin, Hatty Heimenheimer. It took her so long to "work out an idea," they finally had to stash her away in the booby hatch!
- Patrick Redfern: [as he sites a sunbather who could be either his wife or Arlena] Look. I wonder who that is.
- Myra Gardener: You know exactly who it is, you naughty boy.
- [No, he really was wondering]
- Rex Brewster: And just what was that? A sudden breakdown in health?
- Myra Gardener: More like a sudden attack of gold digging.
- Myra Gardener: Gilly is my oldest friend, Rex.
- Rex Brewster: Oh, God, I didn't know that!
- Odell Gardener: Gilly is Myra's oldest friend, you know.
- Myra Gardener: I just told him, Odell.
- Myra Gardener: Don't forget about my cousin, Hatty Heimenheimer. Well, it took her so long to "work out an idea", they finally had to stash her away in the booby hatch!
- Myra Gardener: What if the *bitch* refuses to do the show?
- Odell Gardener: We'll lose all our backers, that's what. After all, we sell the show on her name.
- Myra Gardener: To think our futures are riding on that snake-eyed hussy!
- Odell Gardener: It's wonderful to see you, Arlena. We have a fabulous show for you.
- Myra Gardener: Oh, it's a real humdinger, honey.
