Quotes 

• Peter Morgan, Jr. : Oh, sweetheart. Here we are arguing in public and nobody even knows we're married.

  Francey : It's good, we can't even quarrel in public, because you won't tell them we're married.

  Peter Morgan, Jr. : On the other hand, if we want to quarrel in public, why shouldn't we quarrel in public?

  Francey : Well, all married people quarrel in public; because, it's one of the nice things about being married!

• Francey : You could let me say something. I'd like to make an impression too.

  Peter Morgan, Jr. : Oh, well, you don't have to say anything.

  Francey : No?

  Peter Morgan, Jr. : No. You speak for yourself - and very elegantly too!

• Peter Morgan, Jr. : Do you think things out carefully?

  Francey : Things? Oh, what things?

  Peter Morgan, Jr. : Just - things.

  Francey : You mean small things or important things?

  Peter Morgan, Jr. : Oh, everything.

  Francey : Well, if they're small things, I never do; but, for important things, I never do either.

  Peter Morgan, Jr. : Well, I think you ought to think them out. Because, a bunch of times the small things develop into very important things.

  Francey : Yes, but you just think things out and they happen anyhow.

  Peter Morgan, Jr. : Well, you mean, they're some things you just can't control, huh?

  Francey : I don't think you can control anything!

  [leans up, gives Peter a quick kiss on the lips, turns around, rushes inside] 

• Francey : Hey! What are you tryin' to do? Lose me?

  Peter Morgan, Jr. : Oh, no. Oh, I'm never gonna lose you.

  Francey : You better not. It took a day to happen, I'm in love with you for always.

• Francey : Peter, what does a professor's wife have to do? I meant to ask you yesterday.

  Peter Morgan, Jr. : Oh, mostly just keep the professor happy, that's all.

• Peter Morgan, Sr. : That car, in the bluebook value, is into $200.

  Peter Morgan, Jr. : Yeah, well the bluebook value of my wife is a little more than $200 and I'm not going to trade her in, either.

• Peter Morgan, Jr. : Dad, it looks as though you have a decision to make.

  Peter Morgan, Sr. : Well, what do you suggest?

  Peter Morgan, Jr. : I just suggest that you decide what you want most: your high horse or your wife.

• Peter Morgan, Jr. : Oh, darling, how did you get here?

  Peter Morgan, Jr. : A honeymoon without a husband is sort of silly, don't you think?

• Peter Morgan, Jr. : Forms from a single, delicate cell. Is that clear now?

  Miss Barton - Botany Student : Yes, Professor. But, I still don't understand, in the reproduction of ferns, which mature's first: the male or the female.

• Francey : Some drunk does it every night. Oh, I don't mean that I think that you're swacked.

  Peter Morgan, Jr. : I beg your pardon?

  Francey : I said, I don't mean that I think you're - tight.

  Peter Morgan, Jr. : Well, I'm not intoxicated.

  Francey : No kidding?

  Peter Morgan, Jr. : No! No.

• Francey : Did you like my dance?

  Peter Morgan, Jr. : Well, you were singing when I came in.

  Francey : Oh, you didn't see my dance? Where a wear the little thing with the sequins?

  Peter Morgan, Jr. : No.

  Francey : Oh, I'm sorry! That's the best number I do! Oh, I want you to see it.

  Peter Morgan, Jr. : Why?

  Francey : Oh, it's a great number.

  Peter Morgan, Jr. : Oh, is that so?

  Francey : It's terrific.

  Peter Morgan, Jr. : You're good!

  Francey : Sure, I'm good!
