Mary Marlowe : Change?
John Carlton : Yes. Come on. Quick.
Mary Marlowe : Now?

John Carlton : Well, how many more?
Mary Marlowe : Oh, ouch, John!
John Carlton : Sorry. I'm sorry. I'm afraid I'm not very - expert at this. You see, it's the first time I've ever undressed a girl.
Mary Marlowe : Is it, John?
-
Mary Carlton : We're the children now John.
John Carlton : I know. Second childhood, eh?
Mary Carlton : They're the parents. They - order us around.
John Carlton : Don't I know it! Got to be in bed at nine o'clock every night.
Mary Carlton : And can't stay up for the second show of the movies.
John Carlton : Only allowed two cigars a day.
Mary Carlton : And you can't have your little nip!
John Carlton : Madam, your parents once frightened me; but, your children terrify me.
-
John Carlton : I fell off my bicycle.
Mr. William Marlowe : By Jove. By Jove, a very dangerous invention. Man was not meant to propel himself by machinery.
-
John Carlton : What I want, I mean to take. I want you, so, I'm taking you.
-
John Carlton : Well, there you, Mrs. Carlton. There's our new home.
Mary Carlton : It's perfect! Just like the Garden of Eden.
John Carlton : Well, they're plenty of snakes, I'm afraid; but, no apples. Never mind, we'll plant some.
Mary Carlton : Yes, dear.
-
John Carlton : Where are you going with my cattle?
Jake Houser : Well, now, ain't this a surprise.
John Carlton : More than that, it's an apprehension.
Jake Houser : Not knowin' what that means, can't say you're lyin'. But, I hope it ain't what I think!
-
Mary Carlton : Give me my surprise.
John Carlton : What surprise?
Mary Carlton : Now, John, don't tease.
-
Mary Carlton : Didn't I hear you say the only way you ranchers could deal with these cattle thieves was to - take the law into your own hands?
John Carlton : Did I ever say anything like that?
Mary Carlton : Well, I thought you did.
-
Susan Channing : It's poor mother I'm thinking of. All her life it's been father calling, "Mary, do this. Mary, do that. Mary, come here, I want you."
Mary Carlton : Susan, I didn't mind that at all. I *liked* hearing it. It's not such a bad thing for a woman to hear from her husband.
John Carlton : Bravo, Madam.
-
John Carlton : Look at that! A one-armed driver out with his girl. Whippersnapper!
-
John Carlton : Are you nervous when I drive fast, Madam?
Mary Carlton : Yes, John. Eh-eh, no, John! No, no, in deed!
-
John Carlton : [jokingly] Mary Carlton, you're a scheming minx!
