• Mike : [after being uestioned by the family about Borden's activities]  The nocturnal meanderings of the upper class do not interest me!

  Tim Borden : Might as well be civil!

  Mike : [Haughtily]  Only when civil liberties are in danger.

• Mary Grey : I understand you play polo.

  Tim Borden : Yeah. What's that got to do with it?

  Mary Grey : Nothing. It's just that I'm amazed.

  Tim Borden : You're amazed at what?

  Mary Grey : I'm amazed to discover that horses have better breeding than the people who ride them.

• Mrs. Borden : Why, the situation is intolerable! I can't stay here another minute. I'm going to a hotel at once.

  Tim Borden : That will be swell and there'll be a nice little item in tomorrow's paper asking what Fifth Avenue matron has been run out of her home by what young blonde.

  Mrs. Borden : I'm not a matron!

  Tim Borden : You can't run out on us. Suppose she marries father?

  Katherine Borden : What's wrong with that? She's young and pretty.

  Mrs. Borden : Are you implying that I'm old and ugly!

• Mary Grey : Somebody's got to fill your father's shoes. They're probably too big for you.

  Tim Borden : Oh, I'm not a man. Is that it?

  Mary Grey : Oh, you wear long pants.

• Tim Borden : I don't know anything about the *pump* business?

  Mr. Borden : You'll learn. There's really nothing to it.

• Mrs. Borden : Did you have a nice time at the office, dear?

  Tim Borden : If anybody mentions the word pump to me again, I'm going to slaughter them.

  Mrs. Borden : We owe a great deal to pumps.

• Tim Borden : A lot of sailors wandering around the park.

  Mary Grey : What's wrong with sailors? They helped win the war.

  Tim Borden : Great lovers, too.

• Mary Grey : [Breaking away from a kiss and embrace]  I don't like rough stuff.

  Tim Borden : Why don't you be honest?

  Mary Grey : You're a big strong man, aren't you? Well, why don't you leave me alone?

• Tim Borden : I don't know anything about pumps!

• Tim Borden : I just about got you figured. You're a gold digger.

  Mary Grey : And what *is* a gold digger?

  Tim Borden : You ought to know.

  Mary Grey : What makes you think you're not a gold digger? What have you done to deserve all this? What have you ever accomplished?

• Tim Borden : We could have a girl show in the living room. That should keep him in at night.
