Quotes 

• Nicole Bonnet : A lovely dinner. Marvelous wine. How did you know how to choose it?

  Davis Leland : I own a vineyard.

  Nicole Bonnet : Well, what fun!

  Davis Leland : It's a subsidiary of Eastern Coal and Coke.

  Nicole Bonnet : Eastern Coal and Coke?

  Davis Leland : That's a subsidiary of Western Wool and Flax.

  Nicole Bonnet : Fascinating. What's your growth factor?

  Davis Leland : Say! You're marvelous. You're wonderful. You know, usually I have trouble talking with girls, but with you, it's as though you were a member of the Board.

• Davis Leland : Made up my mind. Man of action! Snap judgment. I bought a fleet of tankers that way once. One of the best deals I ever made.

  Nicole Bonnet : But I'm not a fleet of tankers and I'm not getting engaged to a man I barely know.

  Davis Leland : Well, you'll get to know me. Look me up in Who's Who, Dun & Bradstreet.

• DeSolnay : Leland, remember - I sold you your first painting, I made you a collector - I thought it would help you to relax!

  Davis Leland : [hands shake violently as he prepares to write down a note]  Well its great - I've never been so relaxed in all my life!

  DeSolnay : Yes I can see that.
