• Pat Quinn : Last summer you wouldn't have turned me out in the snow.

  Alan Tanner : Last summer there wasn't any snow. You were just a little girl who's father rented my house and I was trying to be a rather pleasant country landlord.

  Pat Quinn : And now?

  Alan Tanner : And now - is the winter of our discontent. Scram, my love.

• Alan Tanner : The Third Act? Oh, yes. I've been pondering it with all due solemnity.

• Alan Tanner : You're supposed to be in school. Who told you I was here?

  Pat Quinn : I'm on my vacation. I stopped off to look at a house on the hill and I heard you were here. So, I thought I'd drop in and continue my education and learn something.

  Alan Tanner : Well, I'm very bad education for school girls. Now, scoot!

• Alan Tanner : Alice.

  [kiss] 

  Alan Tanner : Gosh, that was good.

  Alice Merritt : Oh, put me down.

  Alan Tanner : You're down.

  Alice Merritt : Put me up! I mean, let me go.

• Alice Merritt : You don't want to put Mr. Tanner in the hoosegow. Orlando doesn't. No one does.

  Alan Tanner : Daisy does.

• Alice Merritt : You've made love to her, haven't you? Haven't you?

  Alan Tanner : Oh, she's just a baby. I can't help it if she gets a little crushed. That's nothing.

  Alice Merritt : All right, Casanova.

• Alan Tanner : [to Alice and Pat]  Why don't you get Daisy so that you can have a free for all!

  Daisy Lowell : [enters]  Daisy's here!

• Alice Merritt : Well, little girls fall in love with interesting old men and little girls get hurt. But, they get over it. Anyway, that's the theory.

  Alan Tanner : Oh, we're going to have a theory about this?

  Alice Merritt : Yes! How old was I when I fell in love with you? Nineteen. And you see, I got over it.

• Alan Tanner : You better hide in that clothes closet.

  Orlando Rowe : This is awful white of you, Mr. Tanner.

• Alice Merritt : I'm sorry. Am I interrupting something?

  Alan Tanner : Don't be ridiculous!

  Alice Merritt : Maybe if she sat on your lap, that'd be an inspiration.

• Alan Tanner : How in blazes do you women expect me to work with both of you getting into each other's hair?

• Alan Tanner : I just had to leave my own house, cause it's overrun with screaming females all trying to give me advice.

  Mrs.Canterbury : What you need is to get them wet clothes off.

  Alan Tanner : Yes, I know.

  Mrs.Canterbury : I'm gonna give you a mustard foot bath and a hot drink. Then, I'm gonna put you to bed and put a hot brick to your feet.

  Alan Tanner : Darling, I don't want a mustard bath and I don't want a hot brick anyplace.
