- Kay Colby: Incidentally, what's happened to the Count? Where is he?
- Scott Miller: Where are the snows of yesteryear?
- Kay Colby: Where the woodbine twineth.
- Scott Miller: That's where the Count is.
- Scott Miller: Is this youngster annoying you?
- Kay Colby: Not at all.
- Scott Miller: Be a good Scout, sonny, and toddle back to your table.
- Kay Colby: I wish you'd stop interfering with my affairs.
- Scott Miller: Oh, I didn't know this was an affair.
- Kay Colby: Well, whatever it is, I can do without you nicely.
- First College Boy: Madam, is this old gentleman annoying you?
- Kay Colby: Yes. Very decidedly.
- First College Boy: So maybe you'd better totter back to your table.
- Charles: Mademoiselle! Where'd you get this blue eye?
- Kay Colby: I got the blue one from my mother's side of the family. The black one is a present from a gentleman who's crazy about me.
- Charles: Ah, c'est l'amour!
- Kay Colby: Mmm... What can you do about it?
- Charles: We fix it perfect. If Mademoiselle will sit, please.
- Kay Colby: Yeah.
- Charles: First of all, we put on the cold towel. Some astringent maybe. Then some raw beef. Just a small piece.
- Kay Colby: Put the whole cow on if it'll help any.
- Scott Miller: How do I look?
- Kay Colby: Like a street cleaner.
- Scott Miller: Come, come, come now. You can't win me with flattery.
- Scott Miller: I've come to take you to the ball.
- Kay Colby: Oh, you have? Well, I hope you can bear up on it, but I'm going with Stuart Farnum.
- Scott Miller: I'm sorry, but you're going with me.
- Kay Colby: I told you I was going with Stu.
- Scott Miller: Stu? How vulgar. Is that a name or a condition?
- Kay Colby: That's his name.
- Scott Miller: Strange. It's also his condition.
- Kay Colby: He's gonna take me if he has to go on a stretcher.
- Scott Miller: Now that we're engaged, I hope we'll see each other occasionally.
- Kay Colby: Whatever is customary, Mr. Miller.
- Scott Miller: Well, Brinkie's off on one of his short stories again. Probably last an hour. He doesn't even know I left him. Still talking.
- Mrs. Colby: That's cruel, Scott.
- Scott Miller: He doesn't care. The other day while he was spinning his favorite yarn at the club his audience changed three times. He never knew the difference.
- Kay Colby: You're not planning on coming with me, by any chance?
- Mrs. Colby: Certainly not. I have better ways to spend my declining weekends, dear.
- Bill Wadsworth: Be kind of fun if they didn't show up, wouldn't it? Then we could be alone sort of.
- Kay Colby: What do you mean *sort of*?
- Bill Wadsworth: Oh! Be careful, honey. You'll take my cold.
- Countess Campanella: I'll take anything from you, darling. My mother used to say, "You'll never get poor from taking."
- Mrs. Colby: What kind of a costume is Stuart wearing?
- Kay Colby: I don't know. He said something about going as a fudge sundae.
- Mrs. Colby: How appealing.
- [talking through intercom]
- Secretary: Miss Colby's lunching with Mr. Wadsworth.
- Scott Miller: Ask her if she can dine with me tonight. Tell her my favorite opera's on at the Met.
- Secretary: What opera shall I say?
- Scott Miller: I don't know. Look it up in the paper.
- Kay Colby: I don't see why you have to go all the way to Japan for a job. You were doing fine right here.
- Bill Wadsworth: Listen, honey, if a man wants to get ahead in the oil business, he has to be ready to go any place, any time.
- Kay Colby: There isn't any money in oil anyway. Rockefeller took it all out.
- Bill Wadsworth: Nah, they left enough for me.
- Brinkerhoff: I tell you, the girl loves you. You don't think she cares anything about this Wadsworth, do you? Now the smart thing to do is just what she doesn't expect. Instead of being sore about him, uh, take the opposite tact. Make him your pal. Build him up. Give him a better job. Take every obstacle out of their way so she can't have the slightest excuse *not* to marry him. And then, watch her squirm.
- Scott Miller: How do you know so much about women?
- Brinkerhoff: I'm a bachelor.
- Scott Miller: It's a funny world, isn't it?
- Kay Colby: What's funny about it?
- Scott Miller: Well, the Countess wants to marry me.
- Kay Colby: You're afraid?
- Scott Miller: You want to marry Bill and I want to marry you. Quite a problem, isn't it?
- Kay Colby: Let me tell you something little Napoleon, this is one time your button pushing isn't going to do you any good.
- First College Boy: Oh, come on Toots, have a drink with me. I crave companionship.
- Kay Colby: You should join a sorority.
- Scott Miller: I wish you wouldn't go. I wanted to take you to the dog show - and showing the cutest little animals you ever saw. Pekingese you'd be mad about. Oh, you don't like Pekingese. That's right. I remember now. You're definitely not the Pekingese type. You know, the first time I saw you, I said to myself: now, there's a girl who's definitely...
- Kay Colby: Not the Pekingese type!
- [leaves]
- Scott Miller: Bulldog, maybe; but, not Pekingese.
- Yuki - Kay's Maid: You finishing the tea, please?
- Kay Colby: Yes, Yuki.
- Yuki - Kay's Maid: Thank you, Miss Kay.
- Kay Colby: What do you see Yuki?
- Yuki - Kay's Maid: [reading the tea leaves] Oh, you going to party, big party, lots of people.
- Kay Colby: Who takes me? Who am I with?
- Yuki - Kay's Maid: Lots of people. Many people.
- Kay Colby: Yes, but who's next to me?
- Yuki - Kay's Maid: Lady, maybe fat lady.
- Kay Colby: But, what gentleman?
- Yuki - Kay's Maid: No gentleman. All ladies. Card party. Oh, you lose money.
- Kay Colby: Isn't there one man in that cup?
- Yuki - Kay's Maid: Man? No. No see no man. Oh, you get present.
- Kay Colby: Yes? From whom?
- Yuki - Kay's Maid: Lovely present! Jewelry present.
- Kay Colby: Who gives it to me? What is he like? Is he a big man?
- Yuki - Kay's Maid: I not I can say for sure. Always the same eyes. Same - Yes, I sure. Present come from your mother.
- Kay Colby: Yuki, you tell the dullest fortunes.
- Yuki - Kay's Maid: I think maybe you marry Mr. Miller sometime.
- Kay Colby: Me! Marry Mr. Miller? Huh!
- Yuki - Kay's Maid: Yes, I think you love Mr. Miller.
- Kay Colby: You think too much.
- Yuki - Kay's Maid: Thank you, Miss Kay.
- Yuki - Kay's Maid: When Japanese girl love Japanese man, she go to him and she say, "I love you, Mr. Miller." Then, everything right away fine.
- Kay Colby: Yes, then everything right away great. Little Japanese girl gets shoved around the rest of her life.
- Yuki - Kay's Maid: Japanese girls liking to be shoved around.
- Kay Colby: Not this Japanese girl!
- Kay Colby: This isn't going to be any 'Taming of the Shrew', you know. I'm not gonna come crawling after you've broken my spirit.
- Scott Miller: I'll take my chance.
- Kay Colby: It's a long one!
- Kay Colby: Do you mean to tell me you'd take anything from Scott Miller?
- Bill Wadsworth: Well, why not? He's my boss, isn't he? Just because you got tight one night and promised to marry him.
- Kay Colby: I wasn't tight!
- Bill Wadsworth: All right, honey, anything you say. From now on, I'm off water and nothing but champagne.
- Bill Wadsworth: To us, darling! My joys will be your joys.
- Kay Colby: And your troubles will be my troubles.
- Bill Wadsworth: Oh, but I haven't any troubles.
- Kay Colby: Wait till you marry me.
- Waiter: With Mr. Miller's compliments.
- [presenting a bottle of champagne]
- Bill Wadsworth: Well!
- Kay Colby: Is that so? You can send it back to Mr. Miller with our compliments.
- Bill Wadsworth: No, wait. We can't do that, Kay. He's my boss.
- Kay Colby: Well, he's not my boss!
- Mrs. Colby: I don't see why I have to tell you everything. I'm free, white and - eh - in my early 40s.
- Bill Wadsworth: It would be kinda fun if they didn't show up, wouldn't it? Then we could, be alone, sort of.
- Kay Colby: What do you mean: sort of?
- Bill Wadsworth: Well, you know, we're engaged, aren't we?
- Kay Colby: Don't be a fool.
- Bill Wadsworth: I don't intend to be. I've been a sap long enough. What do you think I am? Blind? You're not fooling me. You're just using me to burn him up.
- Mrs. Colby: I've got to get over there. We can't leave them unchaperoned all night!
- Scott Miller: Why not? That's what she wants, isn't it?
- Scott Miller: You're getting right into that bed, as soon as you get out of that mustard bath.
- Kay Colby: Who do you think you're talking to?
- Scott Miller: You heard what I said. You get into that bed and stay there! I don't want any more annoyance from you.
- Countess Campanella: Poor lamb, I know it hurts.
- Bill Wadsworth: Oh, be careful, honey, you'll take my cold.
- Countess Campanella: I'll take anything from you, darling. As my mother used to say, "You will never get poor from taking." Oh, there, baby.
- Scott Miller: If you were a man I'd poke you right in the nose.
- Kay Colby: Wouldn't that be repeating yourself!
- Scott Miller: I should have hit you harder!
- Mrs. Colby: Kay! Put your feet right back in that mustard! Do you want to catch pneumonia?
- Kay Colby: I don't care what I catch!
- Mrs. Colby: Do I have to tie you in this tub?
- Kay Colby: You stop yelling at me! You, you - button pusher!
- Scott Miller: You bet I'm a button pusher and I'm gonna keep right on being a button pusher until the day I die and, what's more, you're going to like it!
- Mr. Miller's Assistant: I've been getting the information you asked for on William Wadsworth.
- Scott Miller: Oh, well, let's have it.
- Mr. Miller's Assistant: He's been working for Amalgamated, here, two years as Field Assistant. He's supposed to be engaged to Miss Kay Colby; but, I find that he's also rather - involved - with a lady on 78th Street.
- Scott Miller: [Telephones Kay to see if she got the puppy he sent her with flowers] Oh, hello, Kay. How are you today?
- Kay Colby: [Tries to imitate her Japanese maid] Miss Kruby no come on phone now. Miss Kruby very busy drowning nasty little dog.
- Bill Wadsworth: [as their boat is getting swamped in a storm] Are you so crazy about that guy you can't stand being in the same cove with him?
