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.

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.
Drummond Hall : So they tell me.
Lynn Markham : You wanted to get it the easy way.

Amy Rawlinson : You couldn't love anybody. You hate women! All of us!
Drummond Hall : I don't hate women. I just... hate the way they are.

Drummond Hall : Whenever I wake up a beautiful girl, I, uh, always give her breakfast.
-
Lynn Markham : If you don't let go of me, I'll call the police.
Drummond Hall : That's right, be afraid of me. A little afraid, at least. A woman's no good to a man unless she's a little afraid of him.

Lynn Markham : What's that?
Drummond Hall : Fuel pump. I need a new one.
Lynn Markham : Why?
Drummond Hall : [patronizing] Because this one doesn't work.
Lynn Markham : [snide] Why don't you try a little charm on it?
