- Eugenia Crocker: Really Bingley what's gotten into you today? I don't want any of your odd actor-like behavior in front of the duchess. Remember if 600 members of the royal family died she'd be queen.
- Ann Chester: We're dancing awfully close.
- Jim Crocker: I don't think it's so awful. What's that perfume?
- Ann Chester: Cigarette smoke.
- Jim Crocker: Well it's certainly habit forming.
- Ann Chester: It's too bad you don't have any bad habits. We could have had ourselves a good time on that old boat.
- Jim Crocker: Love is everything. Love blows everything to bits and makes it new again. It's like a bomb in your heart.
- Jim Crocker: The point is, you can't marry him.
- Ann Chester: Yeah? Why not?
- Jim Crocker: Because you gotta marry me.
- Duchess of Arminster: Driver! What are you waiting for? Run over that man!
- Wizzy Wisbeach: Oh, Mother, stop living in the past! We can't kill them anymore!
- Ann Chester: ...my aunt wants to marry me off to some rich palooka in order to rub her sister's face in the mud. That's your love, buddy. Boom! Medieval social engineering.
- Jim Crocker: You're not gonna go through with it?
- Ann Chester: No, but who am I waiting for? Mr. Right? Not me, Jack!
- Jim Crocker: Why are you talking like Sam Spade?
