- Connie Newton: Connie's going to bed!
- Bobby Brandon: That's swell! Been waiting two years to hear you say that!
- [beings to take off jacket]
- Molly Lane: Tony hadn't been gone 15 minutes when Bobby Brandon came in. Bobby's so terribly young, I feel sorry for him. He's always trying to kiss me. Why, he once had the nerve, well, you know.
- Molly Lane: Have I been on the merry-go-round for a week. Woo! My diary looks like the register of those Atlantic City hotels - if you know what I mean. What do you think? Jimmy phoned me this morning and said he was divorcing me. Poor Jimmy. He's so terribly old fashioned. Thinks no woman should have a chance to fall in love with another man. It was very funny, really, I was sitting up in bed with a telephone in my hand and - oh yes, I almost forgot, darling, I have a new mink coat and mother's trying to get me off to Havana for the holidays. She'a a sly ole thing. Got a crush on some sort of Hungarian Count. Aren't we all crazy? But it's a lot of fun!
- Molly Lane: Jimmy can't understand why I should pay Tony's bills, but then husbands never do understand. Of course, you've never been married or you'd see what I mean. It's just too silly the way people insist upon living in a woman's love affair these days.
- George Allison: Allison is never licked. I'm a self-made man. A self-made - a self-made man. We gotta have more black cats. *More* black cats.
- Connie Newton: I'm a peculiar case. I have nothing except money. I do as I please, go where I please, and, the answer is, I don't want to do anything or go anywhere. I know the cast of every party from Newport to Palm Beach. I get up in the morning just so I can go to bed at night.
- Neil Hartley: You need a change.
- Connie Newton: Oh, I need something. I have everything but the thing I want: ambition - something to work for. Talk about the poor working girl - she's lucky. At least she has a goal to reach. Something to long for. But me, I'm just one of those expensive women.
- Connie Newton: In a moment I'm going to lose my sweet school girl temper. Now, get out of here.
- Bobby Brandon: If you say get out, I get out - with you. If you say stay, I stay - with you.
- Connie Newton: Oh, you win Bobby.
- Molly Lane: Speaking of taxi cabs, you know the driver is waiting.
- Neil Hartley: Well, don't keep him in suspense. Go and patronize him.
- Molly Lane: He's been patronized! Now he wants to be paid.
- [blows Neil a kiss]
- Melville Raymond: I want you to keep your hands off Arthur.
- Connie Newton: I love your son and he loves me.
- Melville Raymond: Perhaps I know very little about love, but I do know a great deal about marriage. I have devoted my life to my son. He means the world to me. He is married to a woman I admire. A woman who is right for him. She came to him - clean. Do you understand? And we Raymonds marry only women who come to us that way.
- George Allison: I beg your pardon is that a airedale or a fox terrier?
- [rubs the tip of a female party guest's hot dog]
- George Allison: No, it's an Airedale. I just love fox terriers. Would you lead me to the kennels?
- George Allison: Every moment I realize, that more and more, that you and I have the same tastes.
- Connie Newton: You mean we like the same bathrooms.
- George Allison: That bathroom. That paradise of tiles and porcelain.
- Connie Newton: That heaven of soap and slippery showers.
- George Allison: That was the swellest bathroom ever built! Anyhow, when two people are brought together by a bathroom, they sort of belong together. Don't they
- Neil Hartley: Listen. Do you hear that sound? That's a dog. That's a hot dog! *Hot* dogs calling to their mates. Join them.
- Molly Lane: No, I don't want a hot dog.
- Neil Hartley: Sure you do. That's what you came out here for.
- Bobby Brandon: We're going to ditch the others. Just you and me. A place I know. Nobody knows but me.
- Connie Newton: Hmm. I thought you promised not to talk like that anymore.
- Bobby Brandon: Oh, it's New Year's Eve and anyway you can't hang a guy for trying.
- Connie Newton: After that I think I need a drink. Oh, don't bother. I think I'll pour it. Well, here's to the old year, I know the new one will be perfectly rotten.
- Bobby Brandon: Say, do you want me to go through all of my tricks again?
- [singing]
- Bobby Brandon: Just a gigolo, Everywhere I go, Ya-da-da-da-da, Da-da...
- Arthur Raymond: Connie, I never expected to see you here.
- Connie Newton: Oh, it's the unexpected that always happens, Arthur.
- Arthur Raymond: Oh, the devil with all that! Go away with me. Let's leave everything. People. People. What do we care about people?
- Neil Hartley: Oh, it's good to see you, Connie.
- Connie Newton: Connie's been a wild, mad sonata. Now she's all burned out and come to the pianissimo passage.
