Quotes
-
Drummond Hall : Why are you so angry with me?
Lynn Markham : I'm not anything with you, and I'd prefer to keep it that way.
Drummond Hall : I'd like to think we could be friends.
Lynn Markham : Why?
Drummond Hall : Well, for a starter, you...
Lynn Markham : Look, why don't you stop pressing? Mrs. Crandall might have been interested in your product, but Mrs. Markham is not.
Drummond Hall : You're taking an awful lot for granted, aren't you?
Lynn Markham : Strange; I was thinking the same thing about you.
Drummond Hall : Why? Just because I'm being friendly?
Lynn Markham : You're about as friendly as a suction pump.
-
Lynn Markham : I wouldn't have you if you were hung with diamonds upside down!
-
Lynn Markham : [to Osbert and Queenie] I'd like to ask you to stay and have a drink, but I'm afraid you might accept.

Lynn Markham : I was on an island once; they all look alike - round.
-
Osbert Sorenson : [to Queenie] I have an uneasy feeling that our honesty is being questioned.
Queenie Sorenson : I think we're being asked to leave.
Osbert Sorenson : So do I.
[to Lynn]
Osbert Sorenson : Would you like us to go?
Lynn Markham : [Sarcastically] As far as you like. Another continent, preferably.
Queenie Sorenson : Au revoir, then.
Lynn Markham : [as they are leaving] Arrivederci.
-
Lynn Markham : If you've saved your pennies, then you can put in a bid for him.
Amy Rawlinson : I haven't got the price. Around here, love has a very low cash surrender value.
-
Drummond Hall : [Pointing out on picture on his boat] This is Mrs. Crandall - Eloise - taken when she still had ideas of marrying me.
Lynn Markham : Would you have married her?
Drummond Hall : She had money... could have given me what I wanted.
Lynn Markham : What do you want?
Drummond Hall : Nothing to worry about, nothing to struggle for, nothing to bother about.
Lynn Markham : That kind of nothing costs money.
Drummond Hall : So they tell me.
Lynn Markham : You wanted to get it the easy way.
-
Lynn Markham : I have a nasty imagination, and I'd like to be left alone with it.
-
Lynn Markham : [to Drummy] You must go with the house - like plumbing.
-
Lynn Markham : [Noticing a pipe in the ashtray] Mrs. Crandall was a quiet little old lady, you said?
Amy Rawlinson : Oh yes, very.
Lynn Markham : She must have left in a hurry.
Amy Rawlinson : Why do you say that?
Lynn Markham : The quiet little old lady forgot her pipe.
-
Lynn Markham : If you don't let go of me, I'll call the police.
Drummond Hall : That's right, be afraid of me. A little afraid, at least. A woman's no good to a man unless she's a little afraid of him.
-
Lynn Markham : Now, why don't you take your hat in your hand, your sand in your shoes, and go and play in someone else's yard? I've had it, Galley!
-
Lynn Markham : What's that?
Drummond Hall : Fuel pump. I need a new one.
Lynn Markham : Why?
Drummond Hall : [patronizing] Because this one doesn't work.
Lynn Markham : [snide] Why don't you try a little charm on it?
