Mrs. Blake - Janice's Mother : Of course, if a burglar should break in while you're gone...
Marshall 'Mickey' Briggs : Oh, no...

Mrs. Blake - Janice's Mother : Janice, when I was first married to your father, you remember him, why, we were always out somewhere. It was hardly a night, but, why, he didn't take some business client out to wine him and dine him. And I always went along to help him entertain. If I do say so myself, I made your father what he is today.
Marshall 'Mickey' Briggs : May he Rest In Peace.

Mrs. Blake - Janice's Mother : I heard it was a wonderful picture.
Janice Blake Briggs : It was just beautiful. And it certainly should be a lesson to some husbands who aren't as attentive to their wives as they used to be. When I think of the fun we used to have before we were married. We went out every night.
Marshall 'Mickey' Briggs : That's right. Every night in the world. I never could get her to stay home and neck.

Janice Blake Briggs : Mother, no one is talking about your taking a trip.
Marshall 'Mickey' Briggs : I'm taking a trip - to the delicatessen.
Mrs. Blake - Janice's Mother : Oh, it's all right. It doesn't matter. I don't have to go anywhere. Soon I'll be going on that last great Cook's tour of them all. Upstairs.
Marshall 'Mickey' Briggs : I heard they did the cooking - downstairs.

Mrs. Blake - Janice's Mother : It would be good for me to go to some nice, dry, warm climate. Where I could lie in the sun and get rid of all my aches and pains. If I had my way, I'd just *lie* in the sun all day and night.
Marshall 'Mickey' Briggs : Yeah, the sun is very good at nights, I hear.

Mrs. Blake - Janice's Mother : How could I go to a baseball game? I've nothing to wear.
Marshall 'Mickey' Briggs : It's not formal, mother.
Mrs. Blake - Janice's Mother : The few things I have are in tatters.
Marshall 'Mickey' Briggs : Mother, you know very well that if you want a new dress, all you have to do is charge it to my account.
Mrs. Blake - Janice's Mother : Oh, no, no. It doesn't matter. I don't need anything. Soon, I'll be going to that last great dressmaker of them all. Upstairs.
Marshall 'Mickey' Briggs : Are you prepared to meet your dressmaker?
