Quotes 

• Mrs. Maude Brown : She's fresh as a young heifer still romping among the daisies in her innocence, almost mooing for her mama.

  Mr. Dinklespieler : So you say, my Dear, so you say. But I have noted in the past a slight tendency on your part to exaggeration. Some of your heifers have turned out to be overblown milk cows.

  Mrs. Maude Brown : Dear Dinklespieler, I am not asking you to purchase sight unseen. You may investigate fully.

  Mr. Dinklespieler : Fully? How fully?

  Mr. Dinklespieler : Fifty guineas worth.

  Mr. Dinklespieler : 'od's blood, you ask more for an untried maiden than the government asks of me in taxes.

  Mrs. Maude Brown : A lass like Fanny could never be taxing to a man of your prowess, dear cousin.

  Mr. Dinklespieler : I have held my years well, I dare say, eh?

  Mrs. Maude Brown : You have not aged one whit since you bounced me on your knee years ago.

  Mr. Dinklespieler : I bounced you Madam, but not on my knee!

  [they laugh salaciously] 

  Mr. Dinklespieler : Alright, alright. Bring the lass here.

  Mrs. Maude Brown : Pray, remember, Dear Mr Dinklespieler, that the girl thinks we are cousins. Consanguinity is so reassuring in moments like this.

  Mr. Dinklespieler : I have not dared tried that in years. You need equipment do you not? A rolling chair with castors, hot then cold running water, and trapeze attachment, huh?

  Mrs. Maude Brown : No, no you misunderstand me. I mean the girl will be reassured if she thinks we are cousins.

  Mr. Dinklespieler : Incest?

  Mrs. Maude Brown : Pray, cousin, before I bring the lass in, the palpable evidence of your good faith...?

  Mr. Dinklespieler : Madam, I am a busy man. My very being here is evidence of good faith. Put it on my account.

  Mrs. Maude Brown : Backed up by fifty guineas in coin of the realm, I'd feel not a moment's hesitation leaving you alone with the girl. But without the coins themselves in my hand, my conscience would scarcely permit me to.

  Mr. Dinklespieler : The devil with your conscience, bring me the maid.
