Quotes 

• Dexter Grayson : Where were you yesterday?

  Anne Schuyler : Oh, Stew and I went for a long ride. Dexter, is there any finishing school we could send him to?

  Dexter Grayson : Yes - Sing Sing!

• Stew Smith : You should throw me out. Because I begin to get goofy ideas and they concern you, Anne.

  Anne Schuyler : None of your ideas could be goofy, Stew, if they concern me.

  Stew Smith : Well, my name is Smith. That you seem to have been able to stand for the last month. I am white, male and over 21. I've never been in jail... that is, not often. And I prefer Scotch to bourbon, I hate carrots, I hate peas, I like bad coffee, and I hate garters. I make seventy-five bucks a week, and I got eight hundred and forty-seven bucks in the bank... and I don't know yet whether your eyes are blue or violet.

  Anne Schuyler : That's because you're too far away, Stew.

  [Kiss] 

• Anne Schuyler : It's going to be a very interesting experiment.

  Dexter Grayson : To make a gentleman out of a tramp?

  Anne Schuyler : Exactly.

  Dexter Grayson : Now, Anne, you'll remember how much it cost to get rid of that baseball player.

  Anne Schuyler : You don't seem to understand that this one's different. He has brains.

• Stew Smith : When you move down to my place, I'll show it to you.

  Anne Schuyler : In your place?

  Stew Smith : Yeah. Oh, it's great. Of course, it doesn't compare with this Colosseum of yours, here. But, will serve, m'lady, will serve. The architecture is, eh, well, it has a little feeling of Missouri Gothic and the furniture sort of leans toward Oklahoma Renaissance with a tiny touch of Grand Rapids.

• Stew Smith : We never look at Gallagher as a girl!

  Anne Schuyler : No, well, what do you look upon her as?

  Stew Smith : Well, down at the office, we always just look at - - Gallagher, that's all.

  Gallagher : Well, you see, they all consider me just as one of the boys.

  Stew Smith : Right!

  Anne Schuyler : [Skeptically]  In deed. How interesting.

• Mrs. Schuyler : [Anne is reading the newspaper]  What does it say about the reception last night?

  Anne Schuyler : Oh, the usual thing: blah, blah, blah attended the blah blah and wore the same blah blah things.

• Stew Smith : Have we got a play, Anne. Oh, have we got a play! Of course, most of it's Gallagher's. She did most of it. That brain of hers. It just snaps like that all of the time.

  Anne Schuyler : I'm not interested in the way her brain snaps.

• Mrs. Schuyler : If you had to make a fool of yourself, why didn't you tell it to her, instead of writing?

  Michael Schuyler : Because I couldn't get her on the phone.

  Mrs. Schuyler : Imbecile!

  Anne Schuyler : You should have known better than to write, Romeo. I found that out a long time ago.

  Mrs. Schuyler : I should say you had. At the rate you two are going, we'll have to leave the country to save our faces!

  Anne Schuyler : Splendid, Mother! Let's hop over to Monte Carlo. It's a great place to save a face!

• Anne Schuyler : I've met some rotters in my time; but, without a doubt you're the lowest excuse for a man I've had the misfortune to meet.

• Anne Schuyler : I won't even pretend you haven't done me a great favor. I wish there was something I could do for you?

• Stew Smith : That was kind of a rotten thing to do, Anne. After all, Gallagher's my friend. The least you can do is be courteous to her.

  Anne Schuyler : I thought I was very charming, Stewart.

  Stew Smith : You did? That's a lot of hooey. I'll go and apologize.
