Laura Hope Crews: Aunt Jane Madison

Quotes 

• Aunt Jane Madison : Don't let that stupid taxi driver bring them in. He's annoyed me terrifically. All the way from the station, I wanted the window open. Or was it shut? Anyway, I wanted it the way it wasn't, whichever way it was, and I couldn't make him understand. He's *positively* scatterbrained.

• Aunt Jane Madison : I'm glad of this chance of a moment alone with you. I've got something to show you. Now I bet you can't guess what I have in this box. I'll give you a hint. I bought it in Paris.

  Gus : Postcards?

  [wink] 

• Aunt Jane Madison : Evidently, she isn't accustomed to cocktails. She's so naive. Steven will have to watch out for her after they're married.

• Gus : [Aunt Jane showing a diamond bracelet]  Blow the man down, lady, that certainly is a cargo of ice.

  Aunt Jane Madison : Do you think your baby will like it?

  Gus : Do I think my baby'll like it? Woah, when she see's that, she'll do nip-ups!

  Aunt Jane Madison : Nip-ups?

• Aunt Jane Madison : The dear child, is accomplished, isn't she?

  Gus : On of couple of cocktails, Mrs. Madison, when she's really wha you call 'accomplished', she don't use no fans.

• Aunt Jane Madison : Oh, I should have taken your advice in the first place. But, I thought you were just making a mountain out of a moleskin.
