- Bill: What is this mission you're talking about?
- Peggy Reynolds: My father and mother.
- Bill: Well, what's the matter with them?
- Peggy Reynolds: Oh, Bill, they're playing with fire.
- Bill: Who doesn't now days? They're just havin' some harmless fun.
- Peggy Reynolds: Harmless for us maybe, because we're young enough to know better.
- Bill: I wouldn't worry about it. They're mature!
- Peggy Reynolds: I know it. But, that's the trouble. They're too old to understand the present day technique.
- Bill: I'll say you understand it, all right.
- Tootie: What's the big idea?
- Roger Fleming: Hello, honey, where you been? I've been looking all over for you.
- Tootie: You didn't look very hard.
- Roger Fleming: Oh, yes, I did.
- Tootie: Spending the whole afternoon with a woman old enough to be your mother. What do you think I've been doing?
- Roger Fleming: I haven't any idea. Oh, did you do anything *bad*?
- Tootie: I saw you holding her hand.
- Roger Fleming: I know, I had to hold 'em. She was going to hit me.
- Tootie: Bunk!
- Roger Fleming: Come on, give me a little kiss, will you babe? Don't bite me, now!
- Tootie: Gee, honey, when you kiss me like that -
- [singing]
- Tootie: I hear the bluebirds, keep singing sweet.
- Roger Fleming: I hear the robins go tweet, tweet, tweet...
- Janet Reynolds: If he has his freedom for another week around Peggy, he'll forget all about me.
- Mr. Reynolds: Why, Peggy is only a baby.
- Janet Reynolds: She's old enough to know how to attract his attention - or young enough.
- Peggy Reynolds: Who are the girls?
- Tootie: I don't know, but, they must be ladies.
- Peggy Reynolds: How do you know?
- Tootie: Look, they're wearing stockings.
- Peggy Reynolds: Well, you cute little things.
- Tootie: Hey, gang! Gang! Come on, let's get those stockings! Up and Adam!
- [Beach kids wrestle the two ladies and pull off their silk stockings]
- Mrs. Sophie Reynolds: You're not ill?
- Peggy Reynolds: Nothing serious, just a headache.
- Mrs. Sophie Reynolds: I'm sorry. Let me undress you and put you to bed. You know, I haven't done that in years, dear.
- Peggy Reynolds: Why mother dear, are you sure you aren't ill?
- Mrs. Sophie Reynolds: Of course not. Here, let me help you.
- Peggy Reynolds: Eh, no. I don't think I'll get undressed. I'll just lie here on the bed and read awhile.
- Mrs. Sophie Reynolds: Now, don't be silly. You'll be much more comfortable in bed.
- Peggy Reynolds: But, I don't want to...
- Mrs. Sophie Reynolds: Now!
- Peggy Reynolds: Oh, all right. Mother knows best.
- Mrs. Sophie Reynolds: Of course she does.
- Clinton Darrow: Well, dear me, this is one pleasure I hadn't looked forward to.
- Peggy Reynolds: I-I hadn't either.
- Clinton Darrow: You were just following that impulse, eh?
- Peggy Reynolds: What impulse?
- Clinton Darrow: Whatever impulse it is that attracts a man and a girl.
- Peggy Reynolds: Oh, its all a mistake.
- Clinton Darrow: A mistake? An indiscretion, maybe. But, a mistake - never.
- Peggy Reynolds: Oh, I feel so ashamed.
- Clinton Darrow: Why, you're trembling like a frightened child.
- Peggy Reynolds: Well, you're leaving out the whole preface. Don't you know the hero always locks the door and produces a couple of drinks.
- Clinton Darrow: Pardon me for overlooking such important details.
- [Produces a bottle and shows it to Peggy]
- Clinton Darrow: Finest Sherry on the market. Pre-Chinese war, every bit of it. And the label's imported all the way from Europe. Now, if you'll wait, I'll lock the door.
- Mrs. Sophie Reynolds: How about you and that Lyons woman?
- Mr. Reynolds: Well, never mind that.
- Mrs. Sophie Reynolds: Oh, but I do mind. You bring me here on a vacation and you spend all your time with the first woman who rolls her eyes at you.
- Mr. Reynolds: She never rolled her eyes at me!
- Mrs. Sophie Reynolds: Oh, no, it was her hips!
- Bill: Peggy, I saw you coming out of Darrow's window last night. I was with Janet and...
- Peggy Reynolds: And?
- Bill: Well, no nice girl does that, you know, in her pajamas!
- Peggy Reynolds: Well, you would hardly expect me to come out without my pajamas, would you?
- Bill: Well, Peggy, I saw you with my own eyes. What else is a fella gonna think?
- Peggy Reynolds: A fella with an evil mind like yours, can think a lot of things.
- Peggy Reynolds: I guess its about time the whole family signed an armistice and let's begin all over again. Father, forget the Romeo stuff.
- [to her mother]
- Peggy Reynolds: As well, as the flapper stuff. And let us just be our age. Hmmm?
