Susie 'Sparrow' Parkington : Why did you marry me?
Major Augustus Parkington : Life was too simple without you.

Mrs. Graham : [after Susie had explained about items in Major Parkington's valise] You *know* everything, don't you, Susie?
Susie 'Sparrow' Parkington : I read a lot, Mother. Is it wrong to dream?
Mrs. Graham : No, I guess not, Susie. If you never get anywhere, at least you've had the dreams.

Major Augustus Parkington : [after Susie has prepared his room] Is the, uh... bed comfortable?
Susie 'Sparrow' Parkington : I think so. I made it up fresh.
Major Augustus Parkington : I... just wanted to be sure.
Susie 'Sparrow' Parkington : Are there any more questions?
Major Augustus Parkington : Yes, uh, just one more. Why did you wink at me when I drove up?
Susie 'Sparrow' Parkington : I didn't!
Major Augustus Parkington : Oh, but you did.
Susie 'Sparrow' Parkington : Well, what if I did...
Major Augustus Parkington : I have a theory: if a girl winks, she kisses.
Susie 'Sparrow' Parkington : Not me.
Major Augustus Parkington : You too.

Major Augustus Parkington : You see?
[she leaves the room in a huff, the Major chuckles to himself]
