    • Quotes

      Corliss Archer: [When Dexter refuses to buy a guest towel from Corliss at a charity bazaar] You claim to love me so much, and then when it comes to putting up a measly dollar for a guest towel, you're not interested.

      Dexter Franklin: Well, gee whiz.

      Corliss Archer: Oh, it's all right, Dexter. Forget it. And when it comes to taking me out to the movies tonight, I'm not interested.

      Dexter Franklin: [reluctantly] OK, give me a towel.

      Corliss Archer: [glancing in Dexter's wallet] Dexter, you've got a five-dollar bill in there!

      Dexter Franklin: Yeah, it's gonna stay there.

      Corliss Archer: Oh, Dexter, you wouldn't want Mildred to sell more than me, would you? Come on, be a sport. It's for the USO!

      Dexter Franklin: Okay, give me five.

      Corliss Archer: Oh, Dexter! You're really very sweet.

      [kisses him]

      Dexter Franklin: Wow! Holy cow!
