- Dorothy Hilton: Oh, I don't know, Muriel. I really ought to start my spring house cleaning.
- Muriel West: Oh... What does it matter if your house is filthy for another day?
- Muriel West: [On the phone with Dorothy Hilton] Oh, darling, darling, isn't it a marvelous day?... Let's do something different, something utterly different. Let's go shopping.
- Dorothy Hilton: You're putting on weight.
- Roger Hilton: The coat's shrunk.
- Dorothy Hilton: So have all your coats it seems.
- Roger Hilton: Now look here, I can prove to you that...
- Dorothy Hilton: Well, you prove it to the bathroom scales.
- Roger Hilton: I frequently consult the scales.
- Dorothy Hilton: Yes, but you don't pay any attention to what they say.
- Dorothy Hilton: What? Give up my children?
- Frank Haines: You've had them long enough, haven't you? Well, divide them up then.
- Dorothy Hilton: I couldn't do that. There are three of them. It wouldn't come out even.
- Ann Hilton: Cath, mustn't it be queer to be old like parents? To know that nothing exciting can ever happen to you?
- Catherine 'Cath' Hilton: It must be jolly peaceful. They haven't a worry in the world.
- Frank Haines: Woman are on a higher plain than men.
- Dorothy Hilton: I'm not, that's certain. Or I wouldn't be letting you talk to me like this.
- Frank Haines: It's a changing world, my dear. People are changing their motors, their vacuum cleaners and their husbands all the time.
- Dorothy Hilton: What time is it? You're beginning to think I haven't any family. Not even a husband.
- Frank Haines: Does he beat you?
- Dorothy Hilton: What?
- Frank Haines: Does he beat you?
- Dorothy Hilton: Who, Roger? Good heavens, no!
- Frank Haines: Oh, but he must. It's only fair. You're desperate and unhappy and I've come to your rescue. That's the way it's got to be.
- Dorothy Hilton: Oh, you're really a most difficult man!
- Roger Hilton: What are you doing with the Times?
- Dorothy Hilton: Reading it.
- Roger Hilton: Well don't muck it about. I hate reading a paper after a woman's got to it.
- Dorothy Hilton: Roger! Roger! Wake up! You'd better shake him, Vera.
- Vera, the Maid: Who, me?
- Dorothy Hilton: Yes.
- Vera, the Maid: Really, madam?
- Dorothy Hilton: Well, someone always has to and I hate getting out of bed until I've had my tea. Well, go on, go on!
- Vera, the Maid: [to the cook] A radish. That's what he said he wanted. Nothing less, and he was quite put out there wasn't one in the house.
- Mrs. Elkins, the Cook: Mrs. Milson, it says here, garlic and parsley is good for blood pressure.
- Mrs. Milson, the Housekeeper: Well, it's wrong. You can't season blood pressure. You've got to cure it.
- Frank Haines: Madam, I will not be pushed about. I'll have you know there are two things a man likes to choose for himself - his wife and his ties.
- Paul Francis: [to Catherine Hilton] Now, now, now, now, you go away. If Ann's too old to hug me, you certainly are. Out you go, young lady.
