- Ellen Neal: I'm talking about love Dick. You're talking about marriage. I couldn't marry you because... it would just be a mistake. That's all.
- Wroxton: Hazel - you'll take your orders from me.
- Hazel: Thank you Mr Wroxton.
- Mrs. Meecham: Mr Wroxton. I insist on running my kitchen to suit myself.
- Wroxton: We live to learn, Mrs Frisbee. In this house, you'll run your kitchen to suit me.
- Perry Winfield: Well son, I'd like to hear from you once in a while. Even when you're not asking for money.
- Richard Winfield: Well, somebody's got to help you spend it.
- Mrs. Winfield: Ellen. I want you to tell me the truth. Were you ever arrested?
- Ellen Neal: Yes I was, but, you see it was all a mistake.
- Wroxton: It was not a mistake!
- Perry Winfield: Now look here, young woman. I'm going to be very generous in this situation. I'll give you $5000 to settle.
- Ellen Neal: I don't want your money. I wouldn't take anything from you. The only thing I want is to get out of this house. I don't ever want to see any of you again. You treated me like a criminal just because I love your son. And now I'm not good enough for him. I'm only good enough to have his baby.
- [She bursts into hysterical sobs and runs out of the room]
- Wroxton: If you'll permit me Sir, I shall see to it that she causes you no further annoyance. Dinner is served, Madam.
