[Berry enters room]
Jennifer Rarick : Berry!
Berry Rhodes : So you would hold out on me, wouldn't you?
Jennifer Rarick : Get out of here. Can't you see I'm not dressed?
Berry Rhodes : That's all right. I don't mind. Not bad either, if I do say so.
Jennifer Rarick : Have you gone mad?
Berry Rhodes : Something's come over me. Maybe that's it.
[sounds of door locking]
Jennifer Rarick : Berry...
[Berry laughs]
Berry Rhodes : That's how I like to see you... all shaky... instead of that devilish look you usually have.
Jennifer Rarick : I'm not shaking.
Berry Rhodes : Says she - her knees knocking.
Jennifer Rarick : They're not knocking.
Berry Rhodes : They're adorable knees, Jenny.
Jennifer Rarick : What if somebody came in here?
Berry Rhodes : Not a chance... they're all dressing. They'll be busy for hours.
Jennifer Rarick : Berry, please go.
Berry Rhodes : All right... I'll go. I'll go... whenever you say.
[they kiss]
Berry Rhodes : Want me to go now?
[long pause]
Jennifer Rarick : Yes...
Berry Rhodes : Liar...

Berry Rhodes : What kind of woman are you to make a man forget his fiancée?
Jennifer Rarick : What kind of man are you to make a woman forget a man's fiancée?
-
Berry Rhodes : Here, let's get out of this before she gets suspicious and comes around.
Jennifer Rarick : Well, where would we go?
Berry Rhodes : I know the very place! It's really just around the corner and it will only take us a moment to get there. The most marvelous music and wine that's guaranteed to make you...
Jennifer Rarick : Yes?
Berry Rhodes : Well, it will make you.
-
Jennifer Rarick : Well, I guess I'll be running along.
Berry Rhodes : Well, I'll come with you.
Jennifer Rarick : Oh, don't bother. Thanks for the cocktail.
-
Berry Rhodes : I'm just the same old Berry Rhodes again. A scoundrel among men and a rotter with women.
-
Leslie : [at the swimming pool] Hello, Rarick! Good to see you. I can't shake hands with you, I'm all dripping.
[to Berry and Muriel]
Leslie : So, you know Jennifer Rarick, don't you? She's a new patron at my home for wayward girls.
Muriel Preston : Oh, really, how interesting. Come on, Berry, let's go for a swim.
Berry Rhodes : Could I get a room there?
-
Berry Rhodes : There's somebody here, isn't there?
Jennifer Rarick : Well, there must be!
Berry Rhodes : If there isn't, we're in a pickle!
-
Jennifer Rarick : [returning from dressing] Thanks Berry. Now I know you love me.
Berry Rhodes : You're talking out of turn, young lady.
Jennifer Rarick : I only thought so before, but now I know it... I'm terribly glad.
Berry Rhodes : Do you wanna be spanked?
Jennifer Rarick : Look at me, darling.
Berry Rhodes : I'll do no such thing.
Jennifer Rarick : Deny it if you can...
Berry Rhodes : I'm gonna get out of here before I'm *attacked*...
Jennifer Rarick : Berry...
Berry Rhodes : Little devil. You made me fall in love with you.

Berry Rhodes : Here, are you one of those women who fire a man with ambition?
Jennifer Rarick : Of course, I am.
Berry Rhodes : Then you and I, quit right now.
Jennifer Rarick : Yeah?
Berry Rhodes : Oh yes, there's much too much fun in life to take these things seriously. Besides, one must have time for polo and, eh...
Jennifer Rarick : Women?
Berry Rhodes : Women! Yes, women take a little time too. By the way, Rarick, how would you like to share a small part of my working hours?
Jennifer Rarick : Not interested in part time boys.
Berry Rhodes : Ah, dear, dear, I was afraid of that.
Jennifer Rarick : I've got to have all - or nothing!
-
Berry Rhodes : The spirit is willing, but, the flesh is weak.
-
Berry Rhodes : I want to be myself for a bit. Couldn't you make use of an excellent rotter?
Jennifer Rarick : Why, I've been looking all over for an excellent rotter.
Berry Rhodes : Don't. Don't encourage me girl. It's hard enough now to stick to these things. My self-control positively amazes me.
Jennifer Rarick : It amazes me too - Berry.
Berry Rhodes : Look here, do you want to get out of her a respectable woman? I'm at the breaking point now. Look at my hand.
[Shaking]
Berry Rhodes : Look at it.
Jennifer Rarick : Oh, but, its such a nice hand.
Berry Rhodes : Rarick, girl, you're about to be kissed.
Jennifer Rarick : Oh, I'm shaking.
[kiss]
-
Berry Rhodes : [hugging Jennifer] Well, if I must be a hero, give me a little help, will you. Take some of these arms away from me. For heaven's sake, put some clothes on, I won't look. Well, this is a nice state of affairs. First of all you make me into a laborer and then you turn me into a gentleman. If this gets out, my reputations ruined.

Berry Rhodes : Has it ever occurred to you that the buffalo is practically extinct on Manhattan island?
Jennifer Rarick : And the common titmouse, if allowed to multiply, could in no time obliterate the entire earth.
Berry Rhodes : How true.
-
Berry Rhodes : I'm not supposed to sleep in a case like this.
Jennifer Rarick : No?
Berry Rhodes : Oh, dear me, no. No, no. No! The gentleman on these occasions always sits by the bedside, to keep those coyotes away.
-
Jennifer Rarick : Good night.
Berry Rhodes : I bet you do some fancy snoring.
Jennifer Rarick : I've never had any complaints.
