Quotes 

• Judson Prentiss : You're like some fancy kind of disease. I had it once - now I'm immune.

• Eva Phillips : There's just one little thing. I know it sounds terrible, but with everything happening so quickly, won't people wonder and talk? People will talk, you know, without reason of course. There isn't any reason, is there?

  Carol Lee Phillips : No Eva, not the way you mean. This may come as a surprise to you, but the only reason we're getting married is because we love each other.

  Eva Phillips : Just thought I'd ask. You know how people are.

  Judson Prentiss : Whatever you are Eva, you're on wheels!

• Eva Phillips : We will have a talk, won't we, Judd. Like old times.

  Judson Prentiss : There's nothing to discuss.

  Eva Phillips : I think we should talk. I don't like to insist. But I insist.

• Eva Phillips : Judd darling, you've come back, you've actually come back.

  Judson Prentiss : I've just been getting acquainted with your cousin.

  Eva Phillips : [turning to Jennifer]  I didn't see you. You're so quiet we'll have to put a bell on you.

• Judson Prentiss : You created your own private hell and when you couldn't stand it anymore you went into your room and locked the door and drank yourself into not caring about anything. What does that make you?

  Avery 'Beauty' Phillips : I know what it makes me. Why do you think the simple act of breathing is more than I can bear?
