  • Ruth Wilson: For the millionth time, Mother, I don't want a man to marry me for my looks.
  • Mrs. Wilson: If I hadn't cashed in on my looks, you wouldn't be here now.
  • Ruth Wilson: Beauty doesn't last. Intellectual companionship. That's the only thing that really matters between a man and a woman.
  • Woody Wilson: And you spent 500 bucks gettin' her teeth straightened.
  • Mrs. Wilson: A girl as pretty as you, can't make herself unattractive to men, no matter how hard she tries.
  • Ruth Wilson: I haven't had any trouble with men, so far, have I mother?
  • Mrs. Wilson: No, but you haven't had any fun, either.
  • Ruth Wilson: Your honor, is there anything improper about this bathing suit?
  • Judge Bullfinch: Oh, no, no, it's very proper - and fitting.
  • Ruth Wilson: Your honor, I realize that a bathing suit belongs on a beach, not in a courtroom. But, I was merely trying to prove that a school teacher belongs in a bathing suit, just as much as any other girl.
  • Ruth Wilson: It took me a long time to discover it, but, I don't think a man enjoys putting his arm around a - woman's mind.
