- [Upon seeing Rose Loomis in a low-cut, tight-fitting red dress]
- Ray Cutler: Hey, get out the firehose!
- [to Polly]
- Ray Cutler: Why don't you ever get a dress like that?
- Polly Cutler: Listen. For a dress like that, you've got to start laying plans when you're about thirteen.
- George Loomis: Let me tell you something. You're young, you're in love. Well, I'll give you a warning. Don't let it get out of hand, like those falls out there. Up above... d'you ever see the river up above the falls? It's calm, and easy, and you throw in a log, it just floats around. Let it move a little further down and it gets going faster, hits some rocks, and... in a minute it's in the lower rapids, and... nothing in the world - including God himself, I suppose - can keep it from going over the edge. It just - goes!
- Polly Cutler: Don't worry. I'm one of those logs that just hang around in the calm.
- [Polly Cutler catches Rose Loomis in a passionate embrace with her lover]
- Polly Cutler: Didn't that Mrs. Loomis say she was going shopping?
- Ray Cutler: Yeah. Why?
- Polly Cutler: Well, she sure got herself an armful of groceries.
- George Loomis: Parading around, showing herself off in that dress, cut down so low in front you can see her kneecaps.
- Polly Cutler: It's a stunning dress.
- George Loomis: Would you wear it?
- Polly Cutler: Well, I'm not the kneecap type. She's a pretty girl. Why hide it?
- George Loomis: Don't worry about that. She'd like to wear that dress where everybody could see her, right in the middle of Yankee Stadium. She's a tramp!
- Customs Officer: How long do you plan to be here?
- Ray Cutler: Three days.
- Customs Officer: Honeymooners?
- Polly Cutler: That's right.
- Customs Officer: That isn't liquor you have in that case under your coat, is it?
- Ray Cutler: Uh, books. I'm going to catch up on my reading.
- Customs Officer: Reading!
- Polly Cutler: Fine thing. I tell him we're on our honeymoon and you drag out a copy of Winston Churchill. He must think I'm a pretty hot article.
- Ray Cutler: You should have told him we're on a delayed honeymoon.
- Polly Cutler: Delayed or not, we agreed to treat it like a regular one, didn't we?
- [quick kiss]
- Ray Cutler: I'm game. And it'll be just as good as a regular honeymoon.
- Polly Cutler: Well, it should be better. I've got my union card now.
