Quotes 

• Susie 'Sparrow' Parkington : Why did you marry me?

  Major Augustus Parkington : Life was too simple without you.

• Mrs. Graham : [after Susie had explained about items in Major Parkington's valise]  You *know* everything, don't you, Susie?

  Susie 'Sparrow' Parkington : I read a lot, Mother. Is it wrong to dream?

  Mrs. Graham : No, I guess not, Susie. If you never get anywhere, at least you've had the dreams.

• Major Augustus Parkington : [after Susie has prepared his room]  Is the, uh... bed comfortable?

  Susie 'Sparrow' Parkington : I think so. I made it up fresh.

  Major Augustus Parkington : I... just wanted to be sure.

  Susie 'Sparrow' Parkington : Are there any more questions?

  Major Augustus Parkington : Yes, uh, just one more. Why did you wink at me when I drove up?

  Susie 'Sparrow' Parkington : I didn't!

  Major Augustus Parkington : Oh, but you did.

  Susie 'Sparrow' Parkington : Well, what if I did...

  Major Augustus Parkington : I have a theory: if a girl winks, she kisses.

  Susie 'Sparrow' Parkington : Not me.

  Major Augustus Parkington : You too.

  [he plants a kiss on her] 

  Major Augustus Parkington : You see?

  [she leaves the room in a huff, the Major chuckles to himself]
