Fritz Hagedorn : Well, isn't there something I can do?

Mrs. Irene Mallebre : You dance divinely, Edward.

Mrs. Irene Mallebre : Are you staying for the season, Mr. Hagedorn?
Fritz Hagedorn : I'm afraid not - my limit's two weeks. And you?
Mrs. Irene Mallebre : Well, that all depends. You see, I just keep running away from loneliness. Ever since my husband, uh...

Mrs. Irene Mallebre : [At the costume ball dinner table] My dear Mrs. Kunkel, what an original costume. What do you represent, a wounded soldier?
Rudolph Tobler : [Incognito as Edward Schultz] It looks more like a wounded spy to me.
Mrs. Kunkel : It's not a costume. I was hurt.
Rudolph Tobler : You're lucky. Spies are usually shot.
[Everyone laughs]
Rudolph Tobler : [Looking at Johann Kesselhut dressed as an admiral] Yes, and as for admirals, they're very often sunk.
