- Ed Sherman: [the Lt Governor is growing impatient to meet the Governor] Well, does he always keep important people waiting?
- Marcy Hill: Never.
- Ed Sherman: [Talking to Marcy about her makeup] I'm just giving you my professional opinion. You see, I used to be in ladies' cosmetics.
- Benson DuBois: [Benson walks into the room] And I'll bet you were stunning.
- Benson DuBois: [after seeing the Governor stagger, Benson helps him to his office chair] Governor, now I've seen you the last few days. You've been staggering around the mansion like a wino walking on a waterbed.
- Benson DuBois: [Kraus explaining how she was picked up by the police while trying to conduct a poll] Who got arrested?
- Miss Gretchen Wilomena Kraus: Me. For approaching men on the street after midnight. Don't worry I cleared it all up and I got the whole precinct to sign the poll.
- Benson DuBois: Well, who are DeeDee and Lorraine?
- Miss Gretchen Wilomena Kraus: I met them in the Paddy wagon. Nice girls but terrible dressers.
- Governor Eugene Xavier Gatling: [the Lt Governor has just complained about the Governor's staff] What my staff does, they do out of loyalty to me, and I don't think it's because of my smile, or whatever
- Marcy Hill: It's because he's honest.
