Harold Sigrift
- Harold Sigrift: All together boys, he's a Vice President. So what?
- Rodney Deane: Well, he sits in on the meetings. That means something, doesn't it?
- Franklin Deane: I used to think so. But I found that all I was expected to do was say "yes". And nobody even listened to that.
- Rodney Deane: You mean its just a gag? That you don't really have anything to say?
- Franklin Deane: Dad runs this institution. You'll find that out after awhile.
- Franklin Deane: Why didn't you do something?
- Harold Sigrift: Well, I did what I could. At first I tried to poison her mind. Then, I tried to poison his. And still I couldn't get her for myself.
- Mrs. Deane: And he really intends to marry her?
- Harold Sigrift: I should say his intentions are disgustingly honorable.
- Harold Sigrift: Over there's the guest room. But, I'll be glad to share it with the congenial guest.
- Rodney Deane: Have you ever tried the joys of a simple life, Mr. Sigrift? The pure thrill of a home cooked meal and the slippers by the fire.
- Harold Sigrift: How about a slipper full of scotch?
- Rodney Deane: Help yourself.
- Harold Sigrift: I've got a bevy of thirsty women out there.
- Rodney Deane: You play host to them, will you?
- Harold Sigrift: Okay!
- Harold Sigrift: What are plans for tonight?
- Rodney Deane: Well, Abby and I are sort of staying home.
- Harold Sigrift: What?
- Rodney Deane: Yes. Nothing special to do tonight, so...
- Harold Sigrift: Nothing special to do? Why, the Scandals are opening tonight!
- Rodney Deane: The Sca -
- [to Abby]
- Rodney Deane: Darling, did you hear that? I didn't know that. I haven't missed a Scandal since I was 16.
- Rodney Deane: Frank, what is this racket of starting at the bottom? How'd you stand it?
- Franklin Deane: Me? I'm no idiot. I started at the top.
- Harold Sigrift: Look at him, he's still there.
- Rodney Deane: How'd you learn the business?
- Franklin Deane: What business? What do you have to know to be a Vice President? All I have to do is sign my name three or four times a day.
- Rodney Deane: Where are you going?
- Franklin Deane: The Vice President is going out to Meadowbrook to consult with his Polo pony. Good luck.
- Harold Sigrift: There you are, you see. Now, if you were a Vice President, we'd go out to Belmont this afternoon and take in the metropolitan handicap.
