• Paula Kendall : Now behave yourself or I'll come and chaperone.

  Clarice Kendall Andrews Cormack : Oh, why don't you, Paula?

• Paula Kendall : Crazy youngsters.

  Burton Williams : As one old graybeard to another, what do you do for rheumatism?

• [Clarice and her escort kiss passionately]

• Paula Kendall : Now, baby, are you sure you didn't get into any trouble?

  Clarice Kendall Andrews Cormack : Aw, no no no, no trouble. First we went to Oglethorpe's - we all went to Oglethorpe's for supper...

  Paula Kendall : Yes.

  Clarice Kendall Andrews Cormack : And then we went dancing at Bell Tavern, then we got married and then we all went for breakfast.

  Paula Kendall : What did you say?

  Clarice Kendall Andrews Cormack : I said we all went for breakfast.

• Stephen Cormack : I ought to divorce you!

  Paula Kendall : No, Mr. Cormack, you can't divorce me and you can't bawl me out because I'm not your wife. Just let me be a lesson for you. I'm the sort of thing that happens when you start proposing between drinks.

• Paula Kendall : You married my sister and you can't blame her because, well, you're nice enough to make any woman forget she has a husband and you can't blame me because I was trying to save my sister from jail. Why, you can't even blame Andrews because she was his wife! So you see, Mr. Cormack, it was all your fault.
