• Dan Reasonover : [reading the engagement notice in the newspaper]  Is this true?

  Dr. Tom Owen : There's no reason to sound like a district attorney, Dan. Of course it's true. We were going to tell you tonight.

  Dan Reasonover : I'd better tell you a few things first. You know what Helen means to me; I'd do anything in the world to make her happy. You don't know what you're stepping into.

  Dr. Tom Owen : I'll take my chances on her.

  Dan Reasonover : You'll never get a chance. It's not easy for a man to say things like this about his own daughter, but she'll destroy you the same way she destroyed the others. Her backyard is full of the bones of explorers.

• Dan Reasonover : When she was 21, I gave her a fortune. Parasites of two continents clustered around her like bees around a honeypot.

  Dr. Tom Owen : I'm interested in your daughter - not her money.

  Dan Reasonover : Maybe right now you're not. Funny thing about money - it's very easy to get used to. I don't want you to be like the others, Tom. I want you to be a man with a profession, not just the husband of a rich woman.

  Dr. Tom Owen : Look. I'm a doctor. I'll always be a doctor. No matter whom I marry.

  Dan Reasonover : Are you sure?
