Quotes 

• Peter Weston : This chap you're engaged to, does he live in London?

  Moira O'Shannon : No, he's in South America with the headhunters. But, he's coming back to take me out there with him.

  Peter Weston : You mean you're going to live with the headhunters?

  Moira O'Shannon : Well, what's wrong with that?

  Peter Weston : Oh, just about everything. You might lose your head - and it's a very pretty head. And I'm beginning to wonder if there's anything in it.

  Moira O'Shannon : Well, thank you.

• Peter Weston : I can give Daisy to you!

  Moira O'Shannon : No thank you. I have plenty of pets. I've got four guinea pigs, two toucans and a dog. Daisy would eat the lot.

• Moira O'Shannon : [after their first kiss]  Oh, you shouldn't have done that.

  Peter Weston : Why not?

  Moira O'Shannon : Well, because I've just had a letter from Albert. And whenever I get a letter from Albert I always feel nun-like for at least three days.

• Peter Weston : Hey, what's up?

  Moira O'Shannon : Daisy needs a swim.

  Peter Weston : I dare say she does. I want a large whiskey and soda, but, I'm not going to get one.

• Moira O'Shannon : So, you've done it. You've really done it.

  Peter Weston : Yes, I've given Daisy her freedom.

  Moira O'Shannon : You mean you've left her to starve or to be run over or to be carved up into hand bags!

  Peter Weston : Steady on.

• Moira O'Shannon : Mind you, bathe Daisy as soon as you arrive; otherwise, she'll dry up.
