Pat Quinn : You're just trying to keep us apart. You don't understand him. You never did! Alan is a man who...
Alice Merritt : He's a child, my dear, in many ways. He needs mothering and guiding and a swift, firm hand to get him out of the jams he gets himself into.
Pat Quinn : With me by his side, he wouldn't get into jams!
Alice Merritt : When I was married to him, it was jam for breakfast, jam for lunch, and jam for dinner.
-
Alice Merritt : It's a crazy idea - and, I'm afraid, I'm not crazy any more.
Arthur Layton : Well, things were much better when we were all crazy. But, crazy together.
-
Alice Merritt : Arthur, do you really think I could do it?
Arthur Layton : Of course you could! Make him work, by hating you or loving you. Inspire him or brain him. Now, get your hat. Do anything.

Alan Tanner : Alice.
[kiss]
Alan Tanner : Gosh, that was good.

Alice Merritt : Put me up! I mean, let me go.

Alice Merritt : [enters] Hello.

Alice Merritt : Oh, fine, thanks. Are you making out all right?
-
Alice Merritt : You've made love to her, haven't you? Haven't you?
Alan Tanner : Oh, she's just a baby. I can't help it if she gets a little crushed. That's nothing.
Alice Merritt : All right, Casanova.
-
Alice Merritt : You can share the room with her.
Pat Quinn : What? You - you expect me to sleep in the same bed with that woman?
Alice Merritt : Mmm-hmm. It's been done before.

Alice Merritt : Well, little girls fall in love with interesting old men and little girls get hurt. But, they get over it. Anyway, that's the theory.
Alan Tanner : Oh, we're going to have a theory about this?
Alice Merritt : Yes! How old was I when I fell in love with you? Nineteen. And you see, I got over it.
-
Alice Merritt : I'm sorry. Am I interrupting something?
Alan Tanner : Don't be ridiculous!
Alice Merritt : Maybe if she sat on your lap, that'd be an inspiration.

Alice Merritt : We have two Third Acts.
Arthur Layton : I don't want two Third Acts! I've already had three Third Acts. So, I want one Third Act - good.

Alice Merritt : You selfish oaf, after I sat up all night slaving for you.
