Quotes 

• George Corday : Most women's necks are just something to hold their heads up. But yours is positively lyrical.

• Anne Crandall : What's the matter with small-town mayors?

  George Corday : Well, they're on the narrow-minded side, let us say. I've never met one with a sense of humor. And they are always all out of shape.

  Anne Crandall : You don't say? Well I hope you have an exquisite sense of humor, Mr. Corday, because in about two seconds you're going to need it.

• George Corday : I have an appointment here with a small-town mayor at six o'clock. And you know, small-town mayors might not understand beautiful models running around.

  Anne Crandall : Oh, really, and why not?

  George Corday : Have you ever met a small-town mayor?

  Anne Crandall : Yes, I have, and I don't like your tone, Mr. Corday.

• Anne Crandall : What are you smiling about?

  George Corday : Life is full of surprises. I never thought I would so enjoy having a mayor in my arms.

• George Corday : [Rising to dance with Anne]  Simply as a matter of research, Mrs. Crandall, just look upon me as your husband. Simply as a matter of research.

• George Corday : Mm hmm. I have erased the question mark after affectionate. You see how one thing leads to another?

  Anne Crandall : Mr. Corday!

• George Corday : If only women could realize that it's modesty that is attractive to men.

• Anne Crandall : Besides, you'd dislike Brookhaven intensely.

  George Corday : On the contrary, I'm beginning to feel a positive yearning for Brookhaven.

• George Corday : Well, I'm not going to apologize, you know. Because you're a fraud.

  Anne Crandall : I beg your...

  George Corday : You are. You are a fraud and a delusion. You deserved to be embarrassed.

  Anne Crandall : I...

  George Corday : You have no business running around with mayor insides and such a beautiful outside.

• George Corday : You've been a widow for five years?

  Anne Crandall : Well, naturally.

  George Corday : On the contrary, there is nothing natural about that.

• Anne Crandall : Mr. Corday, I may as well be very blunt.

  George Corday : By all means.

  Anne Crandall : I simply can't see you in Brookhaven. You don't fit. You don't think I'm rude?

• Anne Crandall : He's crazy, isn't he?

  George Corday : He's an artist. He paid you a great compliment, you know. There are very few necks that would throw him like that.

• Anne Crandall : Oh, please, please. This is my neck.

  Artist : It is not your neck. A neck like that belongs to the world. You have no right to hoard it as it if were an old ball of string.

  George Corday : All right, all right, Pete. I told you I need it for myself.

  Artist : All right. You wait till you want to borrow from me again. I loaned you a knee once, remember?

• George Corday : Oh, Mrs. Crandall, these things are of no personal interest to me whatsoever, I assure you. It's simply that I need to know the man, that's all. This is a professional interview and I wish you would conduct it as such.

  Anne Crandall : Well, I...

  George Corday : Thank you.

• George Corday : [Asking about Anne's husband]  But, tell me. He did not enjoy having a mayor in his arms?

  Anne Crandall : How could he? He was the mayor.

  George Corday : Oh, that's right, of course. It's very confusing, isn't it?

• George Corday : And that hat. That is definitely not a mayor's hat.

• George Corday : [Guessing her weight, on a bet]  Mmm... hundred and ten.

  Anne Crandall : Why, that's amazing. Right on the nose?

  George Corday : Thanks. You're a liar, but thank you very much.

  Anne Crandall : What do you mean?

  George Corday : You weigh a hundred and twenty, but you knew I wanted very much to have dinner with you.

  Anne Crandall : Why, I haven't the faintest idea what I weigh. I haven't weighed lately.

  George Corday : I said thank you.

• George Corday : Mrs. Crandall, your persistence in placing this interview on a personal basis is very embarrassing to me.

  Anne Crandall : Embarrassing to you!

• Anne Crandall : Mr. Corday, didn't you get my message? I left you a message.

  George Corday : Well, I left you about 10 messages.

  Anne Crandall : Yes, I know. Thank you very much for bailing me out.

• Anne Crandall : But, doesn't it make any difference to you that I don't want you here?

  George Corday : Mrs. Crandall, I feel that our civic spirit should completely overshadow any personal desires that we may have. I feel it is my duty to give Brookhaven a statue that... Anyway, why don't you want me here?

• Diana Crandall : Do... do you want me to break it?

  George Corday : It's not a matter of breaking a promise Diana. It is a matter of freeing a woman's heart. Don't you see the difference?

  Diana Crandall : Oh, clearly. It's perfectly beautiful.

• George Corday : I'm sorry. I think your granddaughter is a charming child.

  Jonathan Crandall Sr : My granddaughter is a ravening she-wolf. And don't underestimate her. Now if my daughter-in-law started spouting French, I wouldn't object. Do you understand? I wouldn't object at all.

• Anne Crandall : Mr. Corday, why do you want to stay here that badly?

  George Corday : That's what I want to find out.

• George Corday : Good morning, Mr. Crandall.

  Jonathan Crandall Sr : Morning!

  George Corday : You sound very grumpy this morning.

  Jonathan Crandall Sr : We had oefs, instead of eggs, for breakfast, this morning. Thanks to your influence.

• Anne Crandall : You blackmailer!

  George Corday : Tch, tch. Mayor Crandall!

• Diana Crandall : But, but mother said you had a beard, down to here.

  Anne Crandall : Well, I thought you did. Didn't you?

  [Motioning toward Diana] 

  George Corday : [Giving Anne a scolding teacher' look, then picking it up]  A beard?... Oh, yes, yes. I did have a beard, but I shaved it off. It's so much warmer here in Vermont than in New York

• Anne Crandall : You told me once, I have too much character.

  George Corday : I've changed my mind - you haven't nearly enough.

• Miss Thorn : You've kind of lost your head over that little mayor dame, haven't you?

  George Corday : Well, she's the type of woman men seem to lose their heads over, Miss Thorn.
