  Philip Niles : Why, yes.

  Linda Strong : Oh that's too bad, I feel sorry for you.

  Linda Strong : Oh, please don't be. It agrees with me.

  Linda Strong : My Daddy always said a bachelor is a man no woman ever loved enough to rope in.

  Philip Niles : Oh you don't say!

• Philip Niles : You know, you have plenty of charm in your voice. Are you making any plans for the future?

  Philip Niles : May I ask why?

  Linda Strong : Robert Burns said the best laid plans usually get ploughed under. That's what I'm counting on.

  Philip Niles : You're unusual for a girl your age!
