• Matthew Kinston : I'm afraid I owe you an apology. I was rather fresh last night.

  Alison Kirbe : I do think you might have waited till we'd known each other a little longer than an hour.

  Matthew Kinston : Say, an hour and half?

  Alison Kirbe : Even two hours wouldn't be considered exactly Victorian.

• Matthew Kinston : I can't figure that girl out. I don't know whether she's Delilah and baby face Little Red Riding Hood or what!

• Jeremy Taylor : When I went to our cabin and saw your clothes I knew that one of two things had happened. Either you were gone to the swimming pool or you were running around the ship's dock naked.

  Matthew Kinston : Well, thanks for giving me the benefit of the doubt.

  Jeremy Taylor : I didn't.

• Matthew Kinston : You wouldn't want to injure her neck muscles, would you?

  Terence Keath : No.

  Alison Kirbe : I knew you'd understand.

• Matthew Kinston : [kiss]  You're such an awful girl.

  Matthew Kinston : What?

  Alison Kirbe : Shouldn't you offer me the love of a pure man?

• Matthew Kinston : When did the fish ever get to enjoy the bait? They'll sell you a gold brick and leave town.

  Terence Keath , Jeremy Taylor : Well?
