- Major Singleton: I'm afraid I don't believe in cigarettes, much less a machine for makin' them. It turns my stomach, sir, every time I have occasion to witness someone pokin' one of those vile concoctions into their face. I deal in cigars, sir. Nothing less.
- John Barton: I've learned a great deal from you, Brant. If I weren't an honest man, I might be able to use it.
- Brant Royle: Still my girl?
- Sonia Kovac: Don't bet on it! You think all yuh have to do is snap your finger at me. All these years and not even a letter!
- Brant Royle: Nothing to write about.
- Sonia Kovac: I could have been dead.
- Brant Royle: Then what good would a letter be?
- Lawyer Calhoun: We all felt pretty bad about your... trouble.
- Brant Royle: Yeah, I'll bet you cried hour after hour.
- Margaret Jane Singleton: You know, I'll say one thing for Brant Royle: when he looks at me, I know I'm a woman.
- Brant Royle: Goodbye, Carpetbagger. If it means anything to you now, the worst mistake I made was you.
- Sonia Kovac: You and Margaret are alike. You're both greedy; you want something. For you, it's her, but she wants something else. Power, like her father. As far as she's concerned, you're just a way of getting it.
- Rose: [seeing Brant as he arrives late for Sonia's birthday party] You missed the party. I wouldn't go near Sonia if I were you.
- Brant Royle: If you were me I'd kill myself.
