Quotes 

• Annie Farrell : Now, look here, Chesty, just because this guy gave you back to the Indians, is no reason to commit social suicide. You can't go running around in that nifty little item you're wearing either. Mame, I made that for you five years ago.

  Mary 'Mame' Carson : I didn't want to be conspicuous.

  Annie Farrell : Conspicuous? Why you look like something before television.

• Annie Farrell : Dog, if it isn't great to see you!

  Mary 'Mame' Carson : Well, I hope to kiss a coyote if it ain't.

• Mary 'Mame' Carson : Waco takes care of all that?

  Pierre DuQuesne : I'll know what to do.

  Annie Farrell : Mmm. I bet you will.
