Quotes 

• Gerald : What I can't understand is how he finished fifth!

  Jean : There were only five horses in the race. What do you expect when you bet on a goat called "After You?"

• Gerald : D'you want the strippers on the right or the left?

  'Colonel' Harrington : I hardly need them, Gerald. I can take this boy with a deck of visiting cards.

• 'Colonel' Harrington : I don't think you realize the beauty of your situation. You're holding a royal flush.

  Gerald : You've got him right by the ears.

  'Colonel' Harrington : You know, I had nothing to do with this arrangement. But now that you're in it, you might as well go...

• 'Colonel' Harrington : Greetings, my little minx. I hope I find you well and that your little pal hasn't fallen overboard.

  Gerald : With our $600.

• Jean : I think Charles is in love with me.

  Gerald : No?

  Jean : Yes.

  'Colonel' Harrington : Of course he's in love with you. Who is he not to be in love with you who have beautified the North Atlantic?

• Jean : I think he's going to ask me to marry him.

  'Colonel' Harrington : No?

  Gerald : No?

  Jean : Yes.

  Gerald : That's wonderful, Jean.

  'Colonel' Harrington : No wonder you're blushing.

  Jean : Heh.

  'Colonel' Harrington : And that fortunate young man.

  Gerald : Fortunate indeed.

  'Colonel' Harrington : Can't you hear his pulse pounding? His ears must be ringing like telephone bells.

  Gerald : His hands are clammy with excitement.

  'Colonel' Harrington : He won't know an ace from a deuce.

  Jean : You weren't thinking of taking him, Harry?

  'Colonel' Harrington : Well, what were you thinking of?

• 'Colonel' Harrington : Very depressing having your own daughter married, and not be there.

  Gerald : Especially under an assumed name. Is that legal?

  'Colonel' Harrington : Seems to be. Women change their names so much anyway; it doesn't seem to matter.
