Susan Potter
- Mrs. Susan Elliott Potter: Don't tell anyone, but I've got a run in my stocking.
- Professor Nick Potter: Good heavens, we're ruined.
- [to the butler]
- Professor Nick Potter: Not a word of this to a soul.
- Linda Seton: [Making introductions] My brother Ned, Mr. and Mrs. Potter. They're friends of Johnny's.
- Mrs. Susan Elliott Potter: He used to live with us.
- Professor Nick Potter: We've come to warn his future bride about him - he never puts the cap back on the toothpaste.
- Professor Nick Potter: Mm-hmm. Then we'll drink a toast to Johnny - he *needs* it.
- [fills champagne glasses]
- Mrs. Susan Elliott Potter: Needs it?
- Edward 'Ned' Seton: Oh. I'm wrong. He doesn't need it. Johnny's doing *all* right.
- Mrs. Susan Elliott Potter: What's on your mind, Ned?
- Professor Nick Potter: Nothing's on my mind.
- Linda Seton: What do you mean, Johnny's doing all right?
- Edward 'Ned' Seton: I mean he's doing all right. He's having a whirl. Julia's got his hair slicked down and Father's seeing that he meets the important people.
- Professor Nick Potter: My word, are there important people downstairs?
- Linda Seton: Oh, frightfully important. That's why I want to give a party up here.
- Professor Nick Potter: [Quoting an imaginary society column] 'Miss Linda Seton - on New Year's Eve - entertained a small group of Very Unimportant People.'
- [lifting champagne glass]
- Professor Nick Potter: To our hostess.
- [They all drink to Linda]
- Professor Nick Potter: [Chuckles] May I drink too ?
- Professor Nick Potter: [referring to the massive Seton home] You know, this reminds me a little of the palace of Caligula. You remember Caligula, don't you, dear?
- Mrs. Susan Elliott Potter: Oh, very well indeed. Whatever became of him?
