- Oliver Allen: Look here, you can't go up there--she might be in bed!
- Sheridan 'Sherry': Since when has a lady in bed been an object of repugnance?
- Sheridan 'Sherry': What happened?
- Marcia Townsend Warren: Nothing. Surprisingly little happened, considering his affectionate nature. Are all fighters affectionate?
- Sheridan 'Sherry': I don't, as a rule, neck them.
- Marcia Townsend Warren: Who is she, Sherry?
- Sheridan 'Sherry': Therese? A graduate of the old speakeasies - ordinary, I suppose you'd call her.
- Marcia Townsend Warren: I'm afraid if I ever started, I'd call her more than *that*.
- Sheridan 'Sherry': I'm sorry, I thought you liked having me around more or less.
- Marcia Townsend Warren: I do. More or less, either one or the other. There, now you've got it.
- Marcia Townsend Warren: Tell them what you always do, darling, that what your grand-daughter does is none of their darn business.
- Mrs. Fanny 'Grandma' Townsend: I haven't said "darn" in twenty years.
- Marcia Townsend Warren: I don't want any dinner, and I'm bored and I have a headache.
- Sheridan 'Sherry': I know a cocktail that could cure two of those things, and I could cure the headache.
- Sheridan 'Sherry': You know half the time I adore you and the other half the time I could murder you. I bet I'm in love.
- Marcia Townsend Warren: Alas, good sir, he's made no proposals to me, improper or otherwise.
- Edgar Holden: [to Sherry] You. What's the matter with you, you slipping?
- Marcia Townsend Warren: [to prizefighter] First time I've ever seen you with your clothes on. I can't tell you how impressed I am.
- Sheridan 'Sherry': Real fun isn't easy to be had.
- Marcia Townsend Warren: In other words, always gay.
- Sheridan 'Sherry': Exactly.
- Sheridan 'Sherry': [to Oliver] I trust you. Why don't people trust me?
- Mrs. Fanny 'Grandma' Townsend: Maybe it's because they know you.
- Sheridan 'Sherry': And so they were married and lived unhappily ever afterwards.
- Marcia Townsend Warren: I'll tell you one thing. It's going to be the most marvelous party in the world or it's going to be a Hell, so watch out.
- Sheridan 'Sherry': I've always wondered if there really is a Hell.
- Marcia Townsend Warren: Well, my lad, you'll have a sporting chance to find out.
- Sheridan 'Sherry': Darling, I make you only one promise.
- Marcia Townsend Warren: What?
- Sheridan 'Sherry': I'll never call you darling unless I really mean it.
- Edgar Holden: You know, my grandmother always told me to take a nap before dinner in order to conserve my vitality for the serious drinking of the evening.
- Marcia Townsend Warren: Why, have you finished your game?
- Sheridan 'Sherry': No, no. It seems we are playing yours.
- Sheridan 'Sherry': Marcia wouldn't marry me.
- Mrs. Fanny 'Grandma' Townsend: Don't be sure. She hasn't got much sense. I sort of counted on you. Now I can't even be sure of you.
- Sheridan 'Sherry': [to Edgar] Will you get drunk and go to sleep?
- Edgar Holden: [to Marcia] Oh, he's a horrible fellow. Has been ever since he was a boy. You know the coward caved in my chin when I was an innocent lad of 14?
- Marcia Townsend Warren: No! How old was the big bully at the time?
- Edgar Holden: Eh, uh, seven or eight.
- Sheridan 'Sherry': Uh, uh, I was five or six and it wasn't you chin, it was your nose.
- Edgar Holden: It was my nose at the time. My face has slipped in the last 30 years.
- Marcia Townsend Warren: Sherry, you've played around with life so long, you won't know an honest emotion if you saw one.
- Mrs. Fanny 'Grandma' Townsend: She swiped your car, kidnapped your prize-fighter, and disappeared into the night - I feel better now.
- Sheridan 'Sherry': Why don't people trust me?
- Mrs. Fanny 'Grandma' Townsend: Maybe it's because they know you.
- Marcia Townsend Warren: Are all fighters affectionate?
- Sheridan 'Sherry': I don't, as a rule, neck them.
- Marcia Townsend Warren: What a lot you miss.
- Marcia Townsend Warren: Getting married is as easy as falling off a log. It's making it work - that's the catch.
- Marcia Townsend Warren: [Looking at Sherry] I'll bet you were an adorable child.
- Edgar Holden: Yes, I was.
- Sheridan 'Sherry': I've been in tighter spots.
- Mrs. Fanny 'Grandma' Townsend: I've a feeling you're in danger, Casabianca.
- Sheridan 'Sherry': Casabianca?
- Mrs. Fanny 'Grandma' Townsend: Casabianca - you know, the boy stood on the burning deck? Be careful you don't get burned.
- Oliver Allen: You look exactly as a man wants a grandmother to look.
- Mrs. Fanny 'Grandma' Townsend: I know - I always have.
- Mrs. Fanny 'Grandma' Townsend: I know - my contemporaries give me a swift pain. So do most old people.
- Marcia Townsend Warren: Sherry, you know, it isn't that people expect too much from marriage. They don't expect enough. Because if they really expected paradise on earth, they're going to give everything they've got to make it come true. Most of them are disillusioned about marriage before they marry.
- Sheridan 'Sherry': Do you, as a rule, turn your suitors out hungry?
- Marcia Townsend Warren: Nope. I was making an exception in your case. Come along.
- Sheridan 'Sherry': My dear Fanny, I don't smell any smoke, but you alarm me.
- Mrs. Fanny 'Grandma' Townsend: I want to alarm you.
- Lord Knowleton: [Reading the newspaper comics] I say, what does "Zam, Bam, Zowie, Plop" mean?
- Mrs. Fanny 'Grandma' Townsend: It means, Reno, here we come.
- Marcia Townsend Warren: Well, I'm no monkey.
- Mrs. Fanny 'Grandma' Townsend: But you married one.
- Marcia Townsend Warren: No one knows better than I do who I married and it's about time he found out what he married.
- Lord Knowleton: Hey, stop rowing you two. You.. you know you're not married anymore. Why, I say, did you hear that? I thought it was rather good didn't you, oh ho ho ho ho ho.
- Sheridan 'Sherry': [Checking his watch] Maybe I'm a little slow.
- Theresa: That isn't what I heard about you.
- Edgar Holden: Where do you suppose that girl went? Maybe she's been kidnapped. I wouldn't put it past her.
- Marcia Townsend Warren: [On the phone with Sherry] What? Fanny says you're nothing to boast about in any circle.
- Edgar Holden: [Pointing to a Pekingese dog a woman is carrying] Do you think it'll be safe with that little hors d'oeuvre going in the same car with Rover? Heh, heh, he hasn't had his dinner yet, you know.
