Quotes 

• Valerie Colby : But how can you even think of marrying him if you don't love him?

  Joan Colby : Love? Marriage has nothing to do with love. Marriage is a business - at least, it's a woman's business. And love is an emotion. A man doesn't let emotion interfere with *his* business, and if more women would learn not to let emotion interfere with *theirs*, fewer of them would end up in the divorce court.

• Valerie Moore : What about Monica Paige?

  Joan Colby : What about her?

  Valerie Moore : Isn't John Fletcher her private preserve?

  Joan Colby : Isn't married to her is he?

  Valerie Moore : He isn't married to anyone and never will be if he can help it. That boy is fast on his feet when it comes to avoiding the minister.

• John Fletcher : Madam, you're not by any chance proposing to me or anything, are you?

  Joan Colby : Why not? You could do a lot worse. I 've quite a number of accomplishments.

  John Fletcher : For instance?

  Joan Colby : Well, I'm a very superior cook, and an economical housekeeper; I darn an excellent sock; read aloud very pleasantly; dress quickly; I'm never late; and in general I am clean, sober, and industrious.
