Quotes 

• Dick Avery : You ARE mad, aren't you?

  Jo Stockton : No, I'm not mad. I... I'm hurt and disappointed and... and mad.

• Dick Avery : When I get through with you, you'll look like... What do you call beautiful? A tree. You'll look like a tree.

• [Dick kisses Jo] 

  Jo Stockton : Why did you do that?

  Dick Avery : Empathy. I put myself in your place and I felt that you wanted to be kissed.

  Jo Stockton : I'm afraid you put yourself in the WRONG place. I have no desire to be kissed, by you or anyone else.

• Dick Avery : Now when I say "go," walk down with fire in your eyes and murder on your mind.

• Maggie Prescott : The Quality Woman must have grace, elegance and pizazz.

  Dick Avery : Every girl on every page of Quality has grace, elegance, and pizazz. Now, what's wrong with bringing out a girl who has character, spirit, and intelligence?

  Dovitch : That certainly would be novel in a fashion magazine.

• Dick Avery : Livin' is easy. Livin' is high. All good Americans should come here to die.

• Jo Stockton : If the individual rights are not respected by the group, the group itself cannot exist for long.

  Maggie Prescott : What does that mean?

  Dick Avery : Something like do unto others as you'd have others do unto you.

• Dick Avery : Professor, I love every broken bone in your body.

• Jo Stockton : What about these pictures?

  Dick Avery : Well, we're using this shop as a background for some fashion pictures for Quality Magazine.

  Jo Stockton : I'm sorry, but I can't let you do this. Dr. Post would never approve. She doesn't approve of fashion magazines. It's chichi and an unrealistic approach to self-impressions as well as economics.

• Dick Avery : We want to sit at your feet and learn. We have so much to learn.

  Maggie Prescott : We sit at your feet humble and ignorant but so willing.

  Jo Stockton : Look, you two just leave his feet alone.

• Dick Avery : Let me show you something.

  [Serving wine and speaking in a friendly tone] 

  Dick Avery : Gentlemen: may I take this opportunity to tell you that you look like a mess of worms? And that you not only look like a mess of worms, but you ARE a mess of worms. And I'll bet you've been sitting at this table all these years because if you ever left it you'd be picked up on a vagrancy charge.

  Old French men : [Nod and smile in enthusiastic agreement] 

  Dick Avery : Your defense rests.

• Dick Avery : Stop! Stop!

  Jo Stockton : I don't want to stop I like it!
