Drummond Hall : Why are you so angry with me?
Lynn Markham : I'm not anything with you, and I'd prefer to keep it that way.
Drummond Hall : I'd like to think we could be friends.
Lynn Markham : Why?
Drummond Hall : Well, for a starter, you...
Lynn Markham : Look, why don't you stop pressing? Mrs. Crandall might have been interested in your product, but Mrs. Markham is not.
Drummond Hall : You're taking an awful lot for granted, aren't you?
Lynn Markham : Strange; I was thinking the same thing about you.
Drummond Hall : Why? Just because I'm being friendly?
Lynn Markham : You're about as friendly as a suction pump.

Lynn Markham : [Sarcastically] As far as you like. Another continent, preferably.
Queenie Sorenson : Au revoir, then.
Lynn Markham : [as they are leaving] Arrivederci.

Lynn Markham : If you've saved your pennies, then you can put in a bid for him.

Drummond Hall : [Pointing out on picture on his boat] This is Mrs. Crandall - Eloise - taken when she still had ideas of marrying me.
Lynn Markham : Would you have married her?
Drummond Hall : She had money... could have given me what I wanted.
Lynn Markham : What do you want?
Drummond Hall : Nothing to worry about, nothing to struggle for, nothing to bother about.
Lynn Markham : That kind of nothing costs money.

Lynn Markham : The quiet little old lady forgot her pipe.
-
Lynn Markham : If you don't let go of me, I'll call the police.

Lynn Markham : Now, why don't you take your hat in your hand, your sand in your shoes, and go and play in someone else's yard? I've had it, Galley!

Lynn Markham : What's that?
Drummond Hall : Fuel pump. I need a new one.
Lynn Markham : Why?

Lynn Markham : [snide] Why don't you try a little charm on it?
