• Syrette : Shall I leave, Mrs. Maile?

  Mrs. Maile : Please don't, Mr. Syrette. I'd appreciate your opinion in the matter.

  Syrette : And may I say, I agree with you completely, Mrs. Maile?

  Mrs. Maile : I knew you would, Mr. Syrette.

• Mrs. Maile : But, before you go, if I haven't made myself quite clear.

  Cluny Brown : Oh, you've made yourself quite clear. I understand perfectly. For instance, if I feel like - what was it the gentleman said? Oh, yes, if I feel like feeding squirrels to the nuts, this isn't the place for it.

• Syrette : I hesitated to tell you, but now I believe I should. The foreign gentleman rose at dinner and addressed me directly.

  Mrs. Maile : Oh, no!

  Syrette : Yes, Mrs. Maile. Sir Henry and Lady Carmel's guest spoke to me as an equal.

• Adam Belinski : But if she should ever feel unhappy, tell her just to close her eyes and say "Squirrels to the nuts." You will remember that, Mrs. Maile, won't you?

  Mrs. Maile : If she is ever unhappy, she's to close her eyes and say, "Nuts to the squirrels."

  Adam Belinski : Oh, no. No, no. Squirrels to the nuts, Mrs. Maile. Squirrels to the nuts.
