Quotes 

• Elvira Kent : Won't you sit down?

  Georgia Garrett : Don't be surprised if I do.

• Georgia Garrett : Oh, by the way, Mrs. Kent. I know it's none of my business, but have you got anything on your husband?

  Elvira Kent : I'm afraid his conduct has been impeccable.

  Georgia Garrett : Oh, caught him with the goods, huh?

  Elvira Kent : No, that means he's been behaving himself.

  Georgia Garrett : Oh, too bad. Well, maybe he'll do something unimpeccable before I come back.

• Elvira Kent : Just remember that while it's your lips that are being kissed, it's my reputation that will be suffering.

  Georgia Garrett : Yeah, I'll make a note of that.

  Elvira Kent : Good!

• Elvira Kent : You know, it's very irritating. Here I gave up a perfectly wonderful cruise to trap my husband and what happens? Nothing.

  Uncle Lazlo Lazlo : Just goes to show you can't trust men.

• Michael Kent : Oh, hello, darling. Your hat's on crooked.

  Elvira Kent : Well, it's supposed to be that way.

  Michael Kent : Oh, is it? Looks very cute. Very cute.

• Elvira Kent : He's so attractive, but he's such a wolf!

• Elvira Kent : I hope you make me very proud of me.

• Georgia Garrett : [singing]  I'm in love, I'm in love, I'm in love, I'm in love, I'm in love, I'm in love, I'm in love, I'm in love, With, I'm in love, I'm in love, I'm in love, I'm in love, I'm in love, With you.

  [song ends, takes a bow, exits stage] 

  Uncle Lazlo Lazlo : What was the name of that song?

  Elvira Kent : "I'm in Love."

• Elvira Kent : Oh, I almost forgot the most important thing. How do you feel about men?

  Georgia Garrett : They're grand. I mean, they're the most important thing.

  Elvira Kent : Well, with your figure and my name, the men will be flocking after you.

  Georgia Garrett : Say, that's happened to me plenty under my own name.

• Elvira Kent : After all these weeks, you'd think he'd give her a pinch or a pat. On the shoulder, I mean.

• Elvira Kent : Michael, it'll be fun. Why, I sang for the Milk Fund benefit, didn't I?

  Michael Kent : Yes and for two years after that everyone was drinking their coffee black.

• Uncle Lazlo Lazlo : Mike's the great business head.

  Elvira Kent : I didn't marry Mike for his business head!

• Elvira Kent : Did you see that, uncle? Did you see the way he looked at that bridesmaid?

  Uncle Lazlo Lazlo : Oh, no, he was just looking around and accidentally there was a bridesmaids.

  Elvira Kent : Why doesn't he look at me?

  Uncle Lazlo Lazlo : Oh, he has seen you.

• Michael Kent : But if we can get the Great Western Drug Company, why there won't be a hot water botte in the nation without our name on it.

  Elvira Kent : That's a comfort.

• Elvira Kent : Miss Garrett, I'm Elvira Kent, and this is my uncle, Lazlo Lazlo.

  Uncle Lazlo Lazlo : Hello.

  Georgia Garrett : If he isn't your uncle is that my business?

  Uncle Lazlo Lazlo : [Chuckling]  You can believe me, she's my niece. I have experiences in nieces.

• Michael Kent : Phone call from the West. Great chance for a merger.

  Elvira Kent : Listen, marriage is a merger too, you know; and a darned important one.

• Elvira Kent : I'd like to go to South America and catch Michael here.

  Uncle Lazlo Lazlo : My dear niece, not only is it impossible, but it cannot be done.

• Elvira Kent : And, that, that girl is having a perfectly wonderful time under my name. I haven't heard a thing from her in days. Who knows what's going on down there?

  Uncle Lazlo Lazlo : Just goes to show you can't trust women either.

• Elvira Kent : [after seeing Michael's new secretary typing]  Where did she come from?

  Michael Kent : Oh, from the Acme Secretarial School, I suppose.

  Elvira Kent : Maybe by the time we get back from South America, she'll be able to type with all ten fingers.
