Mimi : My dear, men are like that. So honorable and able and wise in some things and just like naughty children in others. You wouldn't blame a little boy for stealing a piece of candy if left alone in a room with a whole boxful, would you?
-
Mimi : I haven't been one to give you much advice in the past, have I dear?
Linda : You've been an absolutely model mother-in-law, Mimi.
Mimi : All right, then I'm going to give you some now. Get rid of that secretary of Van's.
Linda : Miss Wilson? Van couldn't live without her.
Mimi : I hope not with her.

Mimi : You know, my dear, I've seen much more of the world than you have - and more of the Stanhope men. Van is very like his father: warm-hearted, impulsive, active... and temptation ought not to be put in their way.
Linda : Mimi, darling, all Van's life is spent with attractive women... not only Miss Wilson, but the girls who model dresses, the lovely actresses whose pictures he runs.
