Quotes 

• Toto Duryea : Darling, I love you. Goddess.

  Diane Churchill : Oh, you!

  Toto Duryea : Yes. Don't be afraid of me.

  Diane Churchill : What are you doing like that?

  [Toto is dressed in disguise] 

  Toto Duryea : Oh, I can't live without you.

  Diane Churchill : Oh, stop, please.

  Toto Duryea : You must believe me.

  Diane Churchill : I'll never believe you again.

  Toto Duryea : Do you suppose I'd masquerade like this if anything in the world mattered but you?

• John Churchill : Oh, now I know all about you.

  Toto Duryea : Oh, really?

  John Churchill : Why, back in Rochester, we only consider your type of a man a lounge lizard. Just a common, ordinary garden variety of boudoir baboon.

  Toto Duryea : Well, I won't deny it.

• Dr. Louis Dumont : If you want to live, you must obey my orders implicitly.

  Toto Duryea : Of course I will, Doctor. I want to follow your orders. You don't think I want my aorta to burst, do you? Give me orders. Give me a lot of orders. Enough to do me a long time.

  Dr. Louis Dumont : First of all, you must avoid all excitement.

  Toto Duryea : Yes sir.

  Dr. Louis Dumont : You must stop drinking entirely.

  Toto Duryea : Not even a glass of wine at dinner?

  Dr. Louis Dumont : Not a drop. But, most important of all, you must give up your career as a great lover.

  Toto Duryea : But, I have given up that career.

  Dr. Louis Dumont : But, you must give up on women entirely.

  Toto Duryea : Oh, there's only one woman in my life, now.

  Dr. Louis Dumont : That's one too many.

  Toto Duryea : What? Why, I couldn't do with less. Did you know that one is next to none at all?

  Dr. Louis Dumont : That's enough to put you in the grave.

• Toto Duryea : Please, please, I've got to get a professional nurse, if you don't mind.

  Fifi : Do you suppose I'd let some strange woman come in here and nurse you back to health, again?

  Toto Duryea : This is a male nurse.

  Fifi : Oh, but men are so awkward. Besides, I'm a wonderful nurse. Didn't I take care of my first husband, until...

  Toto Duryea : Until what?

  Fifi : Until he died in my arms.

• Toto Duryea : Florine. Hello, Florine.

  Florine : Hello, darling.

  Toto Duryea : I'm sorry about the medicine, but, you see, it's the doctor's orders.

  Florine : I know, I was so shocked to hear about it.

  Toto Duryea : Oh, shhh... not so loud.

  Florine : I was so shocked to hear about it. I've come to nurse you. Look, I'm all prepared.

  Toto Duryea : That's very nice of you, but, you see, see, Auguste will look after me.

  Florine : I know, but Auguste could never do the intimate little things for you that I will do.

  Toto Duryea : I'll say he wouldn't.

• Toto Duryea : I'm sick, don't bother me.

  Dagmar : I know you are, dear. But, everything be alright. I'll bring you back to your health.

  Toto Duryea : You're not going to do me a bit of good.

  Dagmar : Yes, I will. You stay right here in bed and I'm going to change my clothes. I'll be back in two shakes of a lamb's tail.

  Toto Duryea : Two shakes of who's tail?

  Dagmar : You know, lamb, baaa...

• Florine : Are you feeling better, darling? What's the matter?

  Fifi : Oh! What are you doing here!

  Toto Duryea : That's my night nurse.

  Florine : What are you doing here!

  Toto Duryea : That's my day nurse.

  Fifi : I'll night nurse you!

• Auguste, Toto's Butler : There's a gentlemen downstairs to see you, monsieur.

  Toto Duryea : Who is he?

  Auguste, Toto's Butler : He says he's the husband of one of these ladies.

  Florine : Is he fat?

  Fifi : Is he bald?

  Dagmar : Is he tall?

  Auguste, Toto's Butler : Yes. He's crazy and he has a gun.

  Toto Duryea : Show him in.

  [Shot fired] 

  Auguste, Toto's Butler : He's in.

• Diane Churchill : I have bad news.

  Toto Duryea : What?

  Diane Churchill : Father's taking me back to America, tomorrow.

  Toto Duryea : Oh, I'm desolate, cherie, but, but...

  Diane Churchill : What's the matter?

  Toto Duryea : Well, I'm sorry, you see, but I haven't been feeling well and I'm just a bit nervous. But, after all, that's life, isn't it. Still, it does seem a pity that we couldn't have had one hour of love, together.

  Diane Churchill : We will.

  Toto Duryea : Will we?

  Diane Churchill : I can slip away tonight.

  Toto Duryea : Tonight? Oh, but, your reputation.

  Diane Churchill : Oh, no matter my reputation. You must hold me in your arms. I must feel your kisses on my lips before I go.

• Toto Duryea : Ah, Bonjour, Monsieur. This is in deed a pleasure to have you here in my home.

  John Churchill : Now, look here, young man. I want you to stop molesting my daughter.

• Fifi : There, now be quiet, dear and I'll be back in a jiffy.

  Toto Duryea : Be back in a what?

  Fifi : In a jiffy!

  Toto Duryea : She's coming back in a jiffy, oh...
