Quotes 

• Marcia Prior Glass : I suppose I fared better than Andrew who had to hand his balls over to father... only one pair allowed in the house at a time, you know. After father died, Andrew got them back but strangely enough he keeps looking for someone else to give them to. Olga and I passed them back and forth for a while but we really didn't want them... He finally found a real taker in Nancy who it seems had been looking for an extra pair for quite some time.

• Marcia Prior Glass : ...I haven't flirted with a man in ages. My responses are those from a coquette from another era.

  Vincent Antonelli : I have seen women outside my marriage. But my marriage is not a happy one.

  Marcia Prior Glass : They rarely are when you all you want is to get laid.

• Marcia Prior Glass : I'm really just a good girl who's more comfortable fighting with her husband than cheating on him. I guess I'd rather be a bitch then a slut...

  Vincent Antonelli : Does caring for someone make you a slut?

  Marcia Prior Glass : No. Expressing it does.

• Marcia Prior Glass : ...This party isn't for you anyway. It's for our little unborn nephew... God save him from your genes.

  Nancy Pecket : Don't talk about my child like that!

  Marcia Prior Glass : He's not a child yet, dear. Just some protoplasm doing the backstroke in your uterus. Besides, I'm sure he couldn't even hear me.

  Nancy Pecket : You really hate me, don't you?

  Marcia Prior Glass : No... Not at all. Do you hate a dog for peeing on the carpet? Of course not. She can't help it; it's her nature. You just have to leave her outside.

  Nancy Pecket : ...You *really* hate me.

  Marcia Prior Glass : Is that your goal? 'Cause I just might be able to accomodate you!

• Nancy Pecket : [Irene plays the piano]  I'm leaving. I've tried to be part of the family. I have tried to understand you and be patient -

  [shouting] 

  Nancy Pecket : Irene, stop playing the goddamn thing!

  [Irene stops playing in shock] 

  Nancy Pecket : ... I have tried to be patient with your... excentricities as Andrew calls them. But I think you people are all just low, mean and not nearly so smart or high-class as you think you are... or as I thought you were.

  Marcia Prior Glass : You know... With some assistance from a book of synonyms and antonyms, that wouldn't be a bad speech.

  Nancy Pecket : Shut up! That's... just what I mean.

  Marcia Prior Glass : I just wanted to help you illustrate your point...

  Nancy Pecket : I don't want to be a part of *your* family... anymore! I'm starting my own family... and Andrew, you need to decide which one you want to be part of!

  [walks away] 

• Marcia Prior Glass : Harry... Harry, if you want to withold approval, intimidate and give rewards or punishments... buy a dog.
