• Mr. Harry Deever : I guess she's changed some huh?

  [refering to David's wife] 

  David : Well, she's... changed a little.

  Mr. Harry Deever : She once chased a dogcatcher half a mile with a baseball bat.

  David : Well, she hasn't changed as much as you think.

• Ann : If you had it all to do over again, would you still have married me?

  David : Honestly, no.

• Ann : David, if you want your freedom, I don't want to be the kind of a wife who clings to her husband when she's not wanted.

  David : Darling, I do want to be married to you. I love you. I worship you. I am used to you. How do we always get into these things?

  Ann : If my only hold on you is that you're used to me?

  David : Oh, darling, you've got the whole thing wrong. I don't know what I'd do without you. You are my little girl.

• Ann : Eat your soup dear.

  David : There's something wrong with that soup.

  Ann : It's your imagination.

  David : Why doesn't the cat eat the soup?

• David : I'd give five bucks to see that cat take a sip of that soup.

• David : Is Mama Lucy here?

  Proprietor Lucy's : I'm Mama Lucy.

• David : I will never forget you in that little blue dress.

• David : Either our noses have changed or they've - built a livery stable around here somewhere.

  Ann : It's not exactly Chanel 5.

• Ann : You were going to wait until...

  David : Annie...

  Ann : And then throw me aside like a squeezed lemon.

• David : If you are referring to New Year's Eve, I don't think that that drunk had any right to pick up your garter and wave it around.

  Ann : It wasn't my garter. I showed you both of my garters.

  David : That was after you'd gone into the ladies room and gotten Julie's garters.

  Ann : They were my garters!

  David : They were Julie's garters!

  Ann : How do you know they were Julie's garters?

  David : I know they weren't *your* garters.

• David : What does Gertrude got to do with camels?

  Chuck Benson : She smokes 'em.

• David : Isn't it a little crowded in here? Couldn't we go someplace where it was - quieter? Maybe a little darker?

  Gertie : No, cookie. We'll go to one of them dark, romantic places later. We're eatin' first. You ever been here?

  David : Oh, yes, often. That's why I wanted to go some place that was darker.

  Gertie : I don't get it.

• David : Let me tell you something. I know of no finer compliment that I could pay to any girl than to tell you this. That when a man has been sitting across the breakfast table from the same woman for three solid years and still wants to marry her; well, she's quite a girl.

• David : What can I do for you?

  Mr. Harry Deever : Were you married in Beacham in March 1937?

  David : Yes I was.

  Mr. Harry Deever : Well you know... Beacham is on the other side of the river and it was always incorporated in Brenda County, but you see Brenda County is in Idaho and so... well, you follow me, don't you?

  David : [confused]  Yes. Yes.

  Mr. Harry Deever : Well we in Beacham found out we had no right to be incorporated in Brenda County because from the other side of the Bass River we belong in Nevada

  David : Well, well, well.

  Mr. Harry Deever : Yes, well we just found out that anybody who got married between 1936 and now with an Idaho license in Nevada... well it isn't legal.

  David : What do you mean it isn't legal?

  Mr. Harry Deever : Now, now I don't want you to be frightened or upset or anything, but there's been a kind of a mistake. You're not legally married.

  David : [puzzled]  What's that?

  Mr. Harry Deever : Oh, you really are married and everything, but there's a little technicality. It's perfectly allright you understand. Common Law and everything, but we figured in case of deaths and wills and births... you know, children. We figured it'd be better if everybody kinda got married again. Just to be on the safe side... and The Chamber of Commerce is sending me around to everybody to tell 'em. And we give you your two dollars back and you can use it to get another license.

  David : [Deever hands David the $2 and he laughs]  Kind of funny isn't it?

  Mr. Harry Deever : Yes.

• Jeff Custer : I envy you from the bottom of my heart. I wish I was in your shoes.

  David : Yes, she's a great kid.

• David : Darling, I have a little secret to tell you.

  Ann : Oh, it's about time. What is it dear?

  David : You're a great kid.

• Harold - Taxi Driver : You ain't gonna catch her in anything. She's pretty foxy.

  David : Oh, I don't know.

  Harold - Taxi Driver : You know what we ought to do, you and me?

  David : What?

  Harold - Taxi Driver : Let's go to a bur-le-que show. This dame ain't gonna to nothin' this afternoon.

  David : In the afternoon is when you catch them.

  Harold - Taxi Driver : You're kiddin'. That's funny.

  David : What is?

  Harold - Taxi Driver : Where does my wife go every afternoon?

• Mrs. Custer : This is Mr. Smith, Jefferson's partner. Miss Ann Krausheimer.

  Ann : We met some time ago.

  David : Yes. We know one another very well.

  Mrs. Custer : Oh, of course, you've probably seen a great deal of her.

  David : Yes, I have! A great deal!
