Quotes9

  • Delilah Donay: [Peter has just handed her a brandy nightcap] Nice, drinking in a bedroom... gives one a sense of gentle decadence.
  • Johnny: Matters are not so serious yet. He's still begging her for a kiss.
  • Delilah Donay: Proving what?
  • Johnny: Well, she is still refusing to kiss him. Now, doesn't that make you feel better?
  • Delilah Donay: How can you be so stupid, Johnny? It makes me feel a great deal worse.
  • Johnny: Why?
  • Delilah Donay: That's exactly how I got him to marry me.
  • Delilah Donay: Have a fling! We can afford it.
  • Peter Donay: I don't want a fling.
  • Delilah Donay: He can learn. Sally can coach him.
  • Sally Murfin: Well, I could try. I've already been telling him about all the universes undreamed of in his philosophy.
  • Delilah Donay: Sit down you pretty little surrey with the fringe on top.
  • Peter Donay: I can't bear them standing there beaming and fiddling!
  • Delilah Donay: While you burn?
  • Delilah Donay: I'm being to take to this whole idea. After all, at a dance, one does change partners.
  • Peter Donay: Life is not a dance!
  • Sally Murfin: Life is what we make it.
  • Delilah Donay: We?
  • Delilah Donay: Can't we deal with this thing like civilized people?
  • Peter Donay: In the last 12 hours, I've come to the conclusion that when women get civilized that we are really reverting to the law of the jungle.
  • Delilah Donay: You're very broad-minded for one of your age.
  • Sally Murfin: I was just going to say the same thing to you.
