Quotes 

• Willie : You couldn't possibly tell me how to get permanent fun in the world, could you?

  Mary : I wish I knew. I'd be much happier.

  Willie : So would I.

• Willie : What are you doing here?

  Mary : I've come to ask you to be my husband.

  Willie : Are you mad?

  Mary : Stark staring in love with you.

• Mary : Seriously, don't you find life and people awfully dull, Jeff?

  Jeffrey : No. On the contrary. I suppose I'm one of the lucky ones.

  Mary : It must be great fun to feel like that.

  Jeffrey : Yes.

• Mary : Tell me, do you mean to be a tobacconist all your life?

  Willie : Being a tobacconist, being a cowboy, being all of the things I've been, all of these are interests on the way.

  Mary : To what?

  Willie : If I told you, you might laugh, and that would be discouraging.

  Mary : No, I won't, I promise.

• Mary : The tragedy of this life is that things like that are fun only once.

• Jimmy : How about a bit of lunch, and then off and over and see the 'ounds?

  Mary : Why 'ounds, Jimmy? Why not hounds? Why do you always leave out your H's?

  Jimmy : Me grandfather left 'em out, me father left 'em out, and I leave 'em out. It's in the blood, I expect.

  Mary : Well, it's nice there's something in it.

  Jimmy : Huh?

  Mary : Even if it isn't H's.

  Jimmy , Mary : Look here, old girl, you're not a bit yourself since you came back from South Africa. My opinion is, you got a germ there.

• Willie : The next time I marry, I'm going to have a chorum service.

  Mary : The next time I marry, I'm going to marry a man who doesn't pinch me when the minister says "obey."

• Admiral : Do you realize you'll make Jimmy look the most awful fool that ever lived, and break his heart?

  Mary : One good day's hunting will mend that.

• Mary : Of course, I intend to marry Jimmy.

  Jeffrey : Good! Pity he's so rich, isn't it?

  Mary : Why?

  Jeffrey : You'd make such a marvelous, uhm, poor man's wife.

  Mary : Sarcastic little brute, aren't you?

• Mary : Were you a tobacconist in Canada?

  Willie : Incredible as it may appear, I was a cowboy.

• Willie : I'd rather a million times you never belonged to me, than you did for a little and I lost you.

  Mary : I'll give up everything for you.

  Willie : Tomorrow you'll be sorry.

  Mary : No, I won't. I promise you I want to.

  Willie : Think it over, my sweet. And if tomorrow you feel the same, that would be divine. But if you don't and you go with that ship, I'll understand.

• Willie : Wait a minute. Where are you going to stop until we get married?

  Mary : Well, I'll stay here.

  Willie : Oh, you can't do that.

  Mary : Oh, don't talk nonsense.

  Willie : But...

  Mary : If you say another word, I'll pop into the bed now.

  Willie , Mary : Don't you dare

  Mary : Oh, what a prude you are.

• Mary : Willie, if you ever let me go back to them and prove they were right, I'll hate you.

  Willie : There... go easy, my sweet.

  Mary : Oh, I'm so sorry. I know I'm a beast.

• Mary : Willie, dear, what was the good of marrying him? I'd have only run away with you two months after.

• Mary : Now, Willie, you're not going to be a hero, are you?

  Willie : Only a little one, Mary.

  Mary : Yes, but please don't.

• Willie : Sometimes, I'm so unhappy I can't sleep, and sometimes I'm so happy I don't want to.

  Mary : Because of me?

  Willie : Sometimes I'm so happy, I don't need food. And sometimes I'm so unhappy, it chokes me.

  Mary : Because of me?

  Willie : No - because I've got to be in the tobacconist shop tomorrow morning at nine o'clock.

• Admiral : But, for your mother's sake and mine, you won't do this.

  Mary : Aren't you and mother only concerned about my sake?

  Admiral : Why, of course.

  Mary : Then why do you want me to marry a man I'll be unhappy with? You only seem to be concerned with what other people will say. Things that don't matter. Not me at all.

• Willie : We'll go to Paris, Rome, anywhere!

  Mary : No! Let's stay home and have a baby.

  Willie : Yes, let's.

• Mary : The only thing that matters to me is your succeeding. No matter what we go through, not matter what happens to us. It's all trivial compared to that. I'll do anything in the world to help you. You'd hate to fail me, wouldn't you?

  Willie : That's the only thing I'm terrified of.

  Mary : But you won't.

• Willie : Ugly thing, failure... isn't it?

  Mary : But you're not. You mustn't give in.

• Mary : Willie?

  Willie : Mm hmm?

  Mary : Where'd you steal that meat from?

  Willie : Jones.

  Mary : Good, wasn't it?

  Willie : Mm hmmm.

  Mary : There must be an awful lot of nice people in jail.

• Mary : I've never known any man as long as I've known you who hasn't made violent love to me. Why don't you? Is it because you're nice? Or because you don't want to?

  Willie : [takes Mary's left hand and points out her engagement ring]  Neither.
