• Fritz Hagedorn : You broke my skis.

  Hilde Tobler : Good! That makes us even.

  Mrs. Kunkel : Who is that man?

  Hilde Tobler : I don't know. Mirror, Kunkel.

  Mrs. Kunkel : [Holding up a mirror for her]  That's the kind of riffraff you meet on these trips.

• Mrs. Kunkel : I couldn't believe my ears when Johann confessed to me.

  Hilde Tobler : Confessed? Well, you probably blackmailed him into it.

  Mrs. Kunkel : I did nothing of the sort. I merely mentioned an incident in his early life.

• Rudolph Tobler : I know, I know You've been with me for 30 years, you're only concerned in what is good for me, you've sacrificed your entire life to taking care of me, and... have I omitted anything?

  Mrs. Kunkel : You're not as young as you used to be...

  Rudolph Tobler : [Chiming in]  Yes, therefore you must not over tax your strength. I knew I'd forgotten something.

• Mrs. Kunkel : And this in case you have another dizzy spell.

  Rudolph Tobler : I haven't had a dizzy spell in three years.

  Mrs. Kunkel : Just about time for another one.

• Mrs. Kunkel : Aren't you ashamed of yourself? A man of your age - yodeling with a divorcee.

• Mrs. Kunkel : [In bandages and an arm in a sling]  I know my duty when I see it. He knows I'm here. Why hasn't he come to see me?

• Mrs. Kunkel : [to Johann Kesselhut, on the ski slope]  Someone's got to go after them - since you're not man enough.

• 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.

  [Everyone laughs] 

• Fritz Hagedorn : Have you had an accident?

  Mrs. Kunkel : You call being buried alive an accident?

• Rudolph Tobler , Mrs. Kunkel : You know, you have to thank Kunkel for this. You'd have lost him if she hadn't fainted.

  Mrs. Kunkel : [Opens her eye]  Who said I fainted?

• Mrs. Kunkel : You, you weasel.

  Fritz Hagedorn : You old battle ax.
