Quotes13

  • Roberta: She's the rage here, right now. She's got the best figure in Europe and she has to have a dress - at least partly.
  • Roberta: When all you titled aristocrats get jobs, maybe Europe can settle down to a few years peace.
  • Lord Delves: This John from America, who is he?
  • Roberta: My nephew! I met him when I was there a few years ago and took a great fancy to him. He's quite famous in his way. All-American half-back or three-quarters back or something.
  • Lord Delves: Really?
  • Roberta: Yes! You know it's queer, but, when you happen to like your relatives, you like them better than other people.
  • Roberta: I like him, Henry. He's like a big, affectionate, blundering Newfoundland dog.
  • John Kent: Nice old duck, isn't he?
  • Roberta: Well, he isn't so terribly old.
  • John Kent: Oh, I didn't mean in years, Aunt Minnie. I meant I like him.
  • Roberta: Do you? Then, you're a good judge of men.
  • Roberta: Now, tell me about this young lady you wrote me about. What was her name?
  • John Kent: Eh, Sophie. She's given me the air.
  • Roberta: What?
  • John Kent: We had a row.
  • Roberta: Oh, I thought she'd given you an heir.
  • Roberta: They do that rather prettily.
  • Stephanie: I'm afraid she intends to start her screaming.
  • Roberta: If she does, stick a pin in her.
  • Stephanie: I'd rather use an ice pick!
  • Roberta: Where is Scharwenka?
  • Stephanie: On his neck!
  • Roberta: Oh, I see. Does he like it?
  • Stephanie: Not particularly. But, I don't hear him shouting for help!
  • Roberta: Scharwenka! Do you think she'd do something for my nephew if he asked her?
  • Stephanie: I don't think he'll even have to ask her.
  • Lizzie Gatz. alias Countess Scharwenka: These Americans are, what you call, eh, fresh guys!
  • Roberta: No, no, no! Refreshing!
  • Lizzie Gatz. alias Countess Scharwenka: Oh, mais oui, refreshing, pardon, Monsieur.
  • Huckleberry Haines: No, poof. It is nothing - toots!
  • Roberta: Oh, Ladislaw, I hope you're in good finger today.
  • Roberta: Ladislaw is our doorman and a Prince.
  • John Kent: A Prince? Your doorman?
  • Roberta: A Russian Prince. If there were such a thing as a restoration, Ladislaw would be in line for the throne.
