Mrs. Margaret Munson : We're all overwrought now. We're not thinking clearly.

Philip Adams : I think an ex-suitor, who doesn't realize he's an ex-suitor, and doesn't stay ex'd is the most despicable kind of human being! I'd tell him so to his face!
Anna Kalman : He's taller than you are.
-
Mrs. Margaret Munson : I don't know what you expect from a man. You know there's a limit to how entertaining they can be.
Anna Kalman : Well, they ought to be able to talk a little, simple sentences.
Mrs. Margaret Munson : You told me that he was good-looking and that he danced beautifully. That's all a woman's entitled to. You can always read a good book.

-
Anna Kalman : Go to the movies. No, no, Doris, tomorrow.

Mrs. Margaret Munson : Now, what's wrong with you? You planned to be away for the whole winter and here you are, back again after 10 days.

Anna Kalman : Is it possible that the trouble isn't with Majorca?
Anna Kalman : Possible.
Mrs. Margaret Munson : What happened to the colonel That you wrote to me about in your letter? The one who looked like a Greek statue.
Anna Kalman : He talked like a Greek statue. I don't think he knew more than a dozen words. Scotch and soda and one or two more.
Mrs. Margaret Munson : You were impressed with him when you first met him.
Anna Kalman : I hadn't heard the dozen words.
-
Anna Kalman : This is a side of you I've never seen before. A sort of maternal white slaver.
Mrs. Margaret Munson : I'm not sympathetic. You've plenty of beaus. You're beautiful, talented, and famous. You're an actress who's the envy of everyone who knows you.
Anna Kalman : But then they don't know me.
-
Anna Kalman : Would you care to see the performance now? I'll play all the parts. How much money was it?
-
Anna Kalman : I'm crazy about hard currency.
-
Anna Kalman : I must say, you've been palming yourself off as a single man.
Philip Adams : I must've sounded quite idiotic blurting it out like that.
Anna Kalman : Oh, no, not at all. It was very proper and pertinent.
Philip Adams : And rather vain, too.
Anna Kalman : Vain? Why?
Philip Adams : Well, the implication was that you wouldn't be able to keep your hands off me. That sounds pretty silly, too.
Anna Kalman : Well, you'll never know now.
-
Anna Kalman : It's unusual for the weather to be muggy this time of year.
Philip Adams : Yes. I read an article the other day that claimed the world's weather was changing.
Anna Kalman : Really? Well, that's interesting.
Philip Adams : Yes. Isn't it.
-
Philip Adams : I must tell you this. I've been sorely tempted to break the rules, And I've been debating it all evening.
Anna Kalman : Evidently your honor is stronger than my beauty.
-
Philip Adams : Those are the rules between grown-up men and women. Or, should be. The trouble is, the game is so one-sided for a man.
Anna Kalman : Yes, I think it is, too.
-
Mrs. Margaret Munson : I'm just curious to know what you did with your day apart from rehearsing.
Anna Kalman : Well, if you're interested, I get up in the morning and I brush my teeth, And then I have breakfast. Then, I read the morning paper.
Mrs. Margaret Munson : What about Mr. Philip Adams?
Anna Kalman : What about him?
Mrs. Margaret Munson : Mr. Adams was here last weekend, And he's taken a permanent suite one floor below you.
Anna Kalman : How do you know?
Mrs. Margaret Munson : Alfred.
Anna Kalman : You mean, Philip told Alfred he was here?
Mrs. Margaret Munson : Not Philip. Scotland Yard.
Anna Kalman : Scotland Yard?
Mrs. Margaret Munson : Scotland Yard doesn't allow new members of NATO to wander around without knowing where they go.
Anna Kalman : Oh, for heaven sakes. Anything else they know?
Mrs. Margaret Munson : Everything else they know. You can take my word for it.
Anna Kalman : Well, the country's come to a fine state: Peeping Toms. Spying.
-
Anna Kalman : We are right for each other. We are good for each other, my darling.
Philip Adams : We are, we are.
-
Anna Kalman : I always look at the end of the book. I can never wait.
Philip Adams : I know. You have no restraint.
-
Philip Adams : The Secretary called me into his office, sat me down, and gave me a cigar - a good cigar.
Anna Kalman : Oh, that's nice. And then?
Philip Adams : He wanted to know if Id accept a change of assignment. New York.
Anna Kalman : New York?
Philip Adams : Yes. That's what I said, New York.
Anna Kalman : Well, give him his cigar back.
-
Anna Kalman : When love is right, everything is right.
-
Philip Adams : You're the most transparent man I ever saw. I hope NATO isn't trusting you with any secrets.
Philip Adams : Oh, you'd be surprised.
Anna Kalman : Let's hear one.
Philip Adams : Oh, you would be surprised, Mata Hari.
-
Alfred Munson : Hello, Anna.
Anna Kalman : Hello, Judas.
-
Philip Adams : You're very beautiful when you cry.
Anna Kalman : Oh, I'm sure. Pink eyes. Pink eyes are very becoming.
-
Anna Kalman : Don't you dare to scare me like that again. You were definite about refusing, weren't you?
Philip Adams : No, darling, I left it open.
Anna Kalman : But why?
Philip Adams : I wanted your advice.
Anna Kalman : Well, you have it.
Philip Adams : Yes, you see, I omitted a sidelight. You do want to hear the case for both sides, don't you?
Anna Kalman : Well, not particularly.
-
Alfred Munson : Did Philip ask you to come to New York?
Anna Kalman : Oh, Philip? Oh, no, he'd never. He'd be too concerned about my reputation. He's the most considerate, unselfish, honorable man that ever lived.
Mrs. Margaret Munson : Oh, I'm burning candles for him.
-
Alfred Munson : Oh, you haven't got a gun, have you?
Anna Kalman : Shooting is too good for him.
Mrs. Margaret Munson : That's how I like to hear you talk. No violence.
-
Anna Kalman : Oh, Philip, I like you better when you're jealous.
-
Philip Adams : This has turned into one of the most exasperating evenings of my whole life.
Anna Kalman : Your life isn't over yet.
-
Doris Banks : It is a beautiful bracelet.
Anna Kalman : Oh, it is. The one thing you can't call him is cheap, But you can call him everything else.
-
Anna Kalman : I don't want a lobster, I want a man! I need a man, tonight. Here! Right now!
-
Anna Kalman : You can lock the door behind you.
Doris Banks : And hide under the bed!
-
Philip Adams : The President, it seems, he's seen you often on the stage, and, he thinks you're charming. That was his exact word.
Anna Kalman : Charming isn't a very strong word. Not in the theater.
Philip Adams : Well, the President isn't in the theater.
Anna Kalman : Oh, that's right.
Philip Adams : Now, on the other hand, the Ambassador thought you extremely talented and - exciting.
Anna Kalman : Well, that's much better.
Philip Adams : And I agreed with both of them. You see what a diplomat I am?
