• Jane Dana : [Tasting her soup at the dinner table]  Oh, it's hot!

  Sylvia Dana : [to Nancy, who's blowing on her soup]  One does not blow on one's soup.

  Nancy Dana : Oh, doesn't one?

  Oliver Dana : Well, there are several schools of thought in the art of soup cooling. There are the blowers, the fanners, the diluters with ice water, and the wait-til-it-coolers. Now I belong to the old school -- the toughies. We take our soup straight and if it burns us, we just laugh it off, see?

• Nancy Dana : Hector, I found out what men really are. Apes. All of them. Apes. After today, I will look upon all men with impunity.

• Nancy Dana : [When the phone rings]  May I be excused? I think it's for me. I'm anticipitating

  Nancy Dana : a call.

  Jane Dana : Nancy, anticipating.

  Nancy Dana : Thank you, Jane.

• Cora Foster : Listen, little big mouth. Lightning doesn't always strike in the same place, but your father isn't lightning.

  Nancy Dana : That was a very coarse remark.

• Nancy Dana : [to Sylvia]  One does not read one's book when one's at the dinner table.

  Sylvia Dana : Father, speak to Nancy.

  Oliver Dana : Hello, Nancy.
