Quotes 

• Jerry Day : Toni, don't get one thing wrong. I still love you.

  Toni Carstairs Day : You don't need to say anything because there isn't anything left to say. If you'd even told me - but lying. You've lost your size, Jerry, and I could never chase trains with a little man.

  Jerry Day : Toni, I do love you.

  Toni Carstairs Day : That's very sweet, but I'm afraid we've missed the train.

• Jerry Day : You aren't talking about Penny. You're talking about yourself.

  Toni Carstairs Day : That isn't so.

  Jerry Day : Stop lying, Toni. It doesn't become you, either. I took you out of a good home and into a life like this.

  Toni Carstairs Day : You didn't take me. I wanted to go.

  Jerry Day : And instead of a decent husband, I gave you a guy who chases trains and deals in phony goldmines.

• Jerry Day : Nice ham.

  Toni Carstairs Day : You said that in Vienna.

  Jerry Day : Not about ham. That was wiener schnitzel. I distinctly remember arguing the relationship of a cow to a calf.

  Toni Carstairs Day : Jerry, you're an idiot.

  Jerry Day : You said that in Vienna.

  Toni Carstairs Day : And London and Rome and a few other places.

• Toni Carstairs Day : You've always said there was no time for anything else but fooling.

• Jerry Day : Toni, we're rich.

  Toni Carstairs Day : Again? That's nice.

  Jerry Day : This letter's from my brother-in-law. He's been looking after the baby.

  Toni Carstairs Day : Baby? What baby?

  Jerry Day : My baby.

  Toni Carstairs Day : Wait a minute, Jerry, do you mean you have a child?

  Jerry Day : Yes, didn't I tell you? She must be, uh, five or six by now. I don't know exactly.

  Toni Carstairs Day : For a man who talks so much you say very little.

• Jerry Day : Do you wish we were settled down and this was our kid?

  Toni Carstairs Day : Do you?

  Jerry Day : No.

  Toni Carstairs Day : I don't think I do, either, but I wish we wanted to.

  Jerry Day : You're tired of chasing trains and all that?

• Felix Evans : Hello, my boy. Where are you staying?

  Jerry Day : Oh, uh, I hadn't decided yet. I'll look you up at the bank tomorrow.

  Felix Evans : At the bank. Well, goodbye, Penny.

  Penelope Day : Goodbye, Uncle Felix.

  Toni Carstairs Day : And who's Uncle Felix?

  Penelope Day : He's a good friend of ours. We like him. He bought one of Daddy's goldmines.

• Jerry Day : Toni, I know what's eating you. You think I haven't got any business with that kid. Well, you're wrong, dead wrong. You haven't got a thing to worry about, you wait and see.

  Toni Carstairs Day : I see, and what's in the past is all in the past. No more beating debts or dodging gentlemen in uniforms or chasing trains. No more hurried departures from unpleasant business. Your only concern is for your daughter's future, and you want above everything to make her happy.

  Jerry Day : Absolutely, dear.

  Toni Carstairs Day : So you sold Uncle Felix the phony goldmine to get the money for the good time. Stop lying, Jerry.

  Jerry Day : Lying?

  Toni Carstairs Day : Yes, stop lying. It doesn't become you. I know exactly what you were thinking - fun, excitement, thrills. You wouldn't know a responsibility if you fell over one in the street.

  Jerry Day : Well, supposing it was like that, what difference does it make?

  Toni Carstairs Day : You've got to mean it. You're her father, and she's yours, so you've got to quit selling goldmines. You can't take a child out of a good home and throw her into a life like this.

• Toni Carstairs Day : I've decided to write a book. "My Breathless Years."

  Jerry Day : Will I be in it?

  Toni Carstairs Day : Yes, but you won't stay long. I'll kill you off early.

  Jerry Day : Not getting tired of it, by any chance?

  Toni Carstairs Day : Never a dull moment, dear.

• Jerry Day : Penny, this is sort of your new mother. And Toni, I guess you'd say this is sort of our new daughter.

  Toni Carstairs Day : I guess you would.

• Toni Carstairs Day : If I want you, I'll have to take you as you are. I don't like it, Jerry, but I've been without you for a long time and I like that less. I know what I want and I don't get it, so I'm gonna do the next best thing. I'm gonna sell goldmines and chase trains with you for as long as you want me. If the trains wind up in rather ugly places, that's all right, too. We'll both be there togehter.

  Jerry Day : Well, that wins. I guess I'm gonna get a job now. I guess I'll be anything you want, Toni, if you love me that much.

• Jerry Day : Say, was that a party last night! Didn't I tell you we'd have a great time in China? Didn't I?

  Toni Carstairs Day : You certainly did.

  Jerry Day : Let me see, what was I last night? It was something special. Oh, sure, I was Emperor of all China.

  Toni Carstairs Day : The Emperor of all China, well, Emperor, I guess its a little message for you. Seems some of your subjects are getting a little restless. Would that be by any chance the bill?

• Jerry Day : Who do you love?

  Toni Carstairs Day : My Emperor.

  Jerry Day : Always brings home the bacon, doesn't he?

  Toni Carstairs Day : Always!

  [kiss] 

• Toni Carstairs Day : You're the Emperor.

  Jerry Day : Then, you'll met me in Paris?

  Toni Carstairs Day : I'll know that when I'm in Paris.

  Jerry Day : Well, you're the Empress.

• Toni Carstairs Day : Well, what happens now?

  Jerry Day : What do you mean dear? What happens?

  Toni Carstairs Day : I mean, what happens now?

  Jerry Day : Oh, you mean, what happens?

  Toni Carstairs Day : Yes. What happens?

  Jerry Day : Why, nothing.

  Toni Carstairs Day : You mean nothing.

• Toni Carstairs Day : You can't take a child out of a good home and throw her into a life like this!

  Jerry Day : Hey, wait a minute, Toni. What do you mean by a life like this?

  Toni Carstairs Day : Your idea of how life should be lived: cheap and gaudy and shallow.

• Toni Carstairs Day : Don't say it unless you mean it.
