Quotes 

• David Sutton : I'm sorry, Louise. I seldom hit a woman, but if you don't leave me alone, I'll wind up kicking babies.

• David Sutton : All right. Well, go ahead and shoot. Mathematically, the chances of your hitting me are slight. And as far as killing me, well, I don't think you're that good a shot.

• Carol Graham : [arriving at the bar where David has obviously had a few drinks already]  Hello. I'm not late, am I?

  David Sutton : No. I just came early so I could get in few practice swings.

• David Sutton : My liver rushes in where angels fear to tread.

• David Sutton : Tommy, you may take a short rest and start mixing me another.

• Louise Howell : You've changed, David. Something's changed you.

  David Sutton : No. We were through before I went to Canada. I suppose I should have put that in writing.

  Louise Howell : But now you're hard, and bitter.

  David Sutton : Bored, I think, would be a bit closer to it.

• David Sutton : [upon meeting Carol again who he last saw when she was a bratty 11-year-old girl, but is now a shapely 20-year-old woman]  Let me look at you. Mm-hmm. Well, you... you haven't grown very much, but... then again, you have.

• Carol Graham : How many have you had?

  David Sutton : Oooh... easily.

• Louise Howell : [on meeting again after long separation]  Aren't you going to kiss me?

  David Sutton : I had no plans one way or the other.

  Louise Howell : All right, then. Go ahead and kiss me. You don't have to mean it.

  [he gives her the briefest peck] 

  Louise Howell : I didn't expect you to mean it that little.

  David Sutton : When a woman kisses me, Louise, she has to take pot luck.
