- John Truett: Wow, that's nice perfume.
- Esther Smith: Do you like it? It's Essence of Violet. I only take it out on special occasions
- John Truett: Exactly the kind my grandmother wears.
- [after John tells Esther he couldn't pick up his tuxedo from the tailor because he was busy playing basketball]
- John Truett: This is a fine going away present I'm giving you for Christmas. I'll bet you really hate me.
- Esther Smith: Oh, no, John, I don't hate you! I just hate basketball!
- John Truett: Gosh, Miss Esther, I hope I'm not too presumptuous, but you don't need any beauty sleep.
- Esther Smith: What a nice compliment.
- John Truett: Hello, Esther.
- Esther Smith: John Truett.
- John Truett: Oh, yeah?
- Esther Smith: I've come here to ask you something...
- [punches him]
- John Truett: Really?
- Esther Smith: Yes. What do you mean hitting a five-year-old child?
- [she grabs him, struggling him]
- Esther Smith: The next time, you want to hit somebody. Pick on somebody your own size.
- John Truett: Hey, Esther!
- [struggling her, she bites him in the hand]
- Esther Smith: If there's anything I hate, loathe, despise, and abominate, it's a bully.
- [she runs away from him]
- Esther Smith: [apologizing to John Truett after attacking him] Oh John, I'm... I'm *terribly* sorry if I hurt you.
- John Truett: It's no worse than football practice... except it's better with a girl.
