Daphne Reynolds
- Daphne Reynolds: [to Clarissa] My evil stepsister, you've seen Cinderella, right? Let me clue you in, I win.
- Clarissa: Oh, very you, lovely. So Henry asked us to give you a few pointers, didn't he? Well, pointer number 1: go home. Mother and I belong here and it's quite clear you just don't fit in. And pointer number 2: while you're packing, keep your grimy little Yankee paws off Armistead Stuart, he's mine.
- Daphne Reynolds: If you take your nose out of the air for one second you'll see you're designer, I'm vintage. You've got a mansion, I've got a five floor walkup. You're a snotty little miss cranky pants and I go with the flow, so why would you ever think for one second that I'd ever have the same taste in guys? So here's a little pointer for you. Get over yourself and stop trying to be my daddy's little girl because I'm not going anywhere.
- Henry Dashwood: I'm not explaining this very well, am I?
- Daphne Reynolds: No, not really. But I'm having fun watching you try.
- Henry Dashwood: For me, it's just a stop on the campaign trail, and for Glynnis it's a chance to launch Clarissa on society.
- Daphne Reynolds: Launch her? You make her sound like a ship.
- Henry Dashwood: No, in Clarissa's case it's more like an intercontinental ballistic missile.
- Henry Dashwood: Sorry, did you just say you've known about this your whole life?
- Daphne Reynolds: Yeah?
- Jocelyn Dashwood: Good. Well, now we've got that settled... How about some tea and a nice piece of fruitcake?
- Henry Dashwood: But your mother didn't feel I deserved the same consideration?
- Jocelyn Dashwood: [Quietly] No to the fruitcake, then.
- Henry Dashwood: [shouts] How could she keep something like this from me?
- Glynnis Payne: Excuse me, but what happened to the mistake theory we were operating on a moment ago?
- Daphne Reynolds: [Daphne turns to leave]
- Jocelyn Dashwood: No, wait a minute, Ducky!
- Henry Dashwood: I hope you find you sleeping arrangements conducive to...
- Daphne Reynolds: Henry, all it takes is sweet dreams.
- Daphne Reynolds: Let's get the party started!
- Ian: No.
- Daphne Reynolds: Come on, why not?
- Ian: Well, first of all I could get fired; and second of all, I could get fired!
- Daphne Reynolds: Oh come on!
- Ian: No. No, no!
- Daphne Reynolds: Wimp.
- Ian: No. No!
- Daphne Reynolds: For me?
- [bats eyelashes flirtatiously]
- Ian: [grins] Okay. Let's do it.
- Daphne Reynolds: [after everything has happened] The truth is sometimes things aren't exactly what you always imagined... they're even better!
- [Regarding Henry Dashwood's familiy mansion]
- Daphne Reynolds: It's bigger than our entire apartment and the Chinese restaurant downstairs and the dry cleaner down the street; it makes the White House look like a McDonalds!
- Daphne Reynolds: [to Armistead Stuart] You know, I really wish you would pull your lip over your head and swallow it.
- Glynnis Payne: Darling, we have to get Lubby here an escort.
- Daphne Reynolds: It's Libby, and why doesn't he just ask her himself?
- Daphne Reynolds: Hey! What are you doing here?
- Ian: You know, just another one of my glamourous jobs.
- Daphne Reynolds: Oh.
- Ian: Looking for me?
- Daphne Reynolds: Oh, no. I was just looking for the loo!
- Ian: Outside? On the terrace?
- Daphne Reynolds: [Mouths] Oh.
- [Daphne and Jocelyn are at a upper-class coming out party]
- Jocelyn Dashwood: Head up, Daphne. And never forget the family motto.
- Daphne Reynolds: Family motto? What is it?
- Jocelyn Dashwood: Qui Patitur Vincit.
- Daphne Reynolds: What does that mean?
- Jocelyn Dashwood: It means, ducky... Hang in there, and yeah'll rock!
