Ellen Wagstaff Arden
- Nicholas Arden: [describing Ellen's memorial service] There wasn't a dry eye in the congregation.
- Ellen Wagstaff Arden: Oh, gosh, I wish I'd been there.
- Nicholas Arden: I-if you had been there, there wouldn't have been a service.
- Ellen Wagstaff Arden: Oh. That's right.
- Grace Arden: You'll be at the hotel before they arrive.
- Ellen Wagstaff Arden: I can't DO that, Grace!
- Grace Arden: WHY can't you? You're his wife.
- Ellen Wagstaff Arden: So is she.
- Grace Arden: She's his bride.
- Ellen Wagstaff Arden: What's he difference?
- Grace Arden: A honeymoon, and you're not goin' to let them have one.
- Ellen Wagstaff Arden: Child? Oh! Nick is not a child.
- Grace Arden: No, he's not that smart. He's only a man.
- Ellen Wagstaff Arden: Oh, Grace. There was a man on that island with me.
- Grace Arden: How marvelous. No wonder you look so well. But, you silly girl, why did you tell Nick?
- Ellen Wagstaff Arden: Don't take advantage of me just because I'm a woman.
- Nicholas Arden: You're my wife.
- Ellen Wagstaff Arden: One of them.
- Nicholas Arden: Yeah. Hey, I really have to do something about that.
- Ellen Wagstaff Arden: Yes.
- Ellen Wagstaff Arden: [pretending to be a Swedish nurse] What if Mr. Arden's first wife didn't was dead?
- Bianca Steele: What an idea!
- Ellen Wagstaff Arden: When I was a little girl in Sweden, I went once to the movies. Poor Cary Grant thought his first wife was dead, so he married another lady. But Irene Dunne, who was the first wife - she come back.
- Bianca Steele: Movies. When do movies ever reflect real life?
- Ellen Wagstaff Arden: Ja. But suppose Mr. Arden's first wife was to come back? Like Irene Dunne done - did.
- Mr. Codd: Mr. Arden, as a resident manager of this hotel I find it my duty to inform you that when a man takes a room here we expect him to go to that room with his own wife. We do not expect that wife to be paging him constantly when he is next door dallying with another woman.
- Ellen Wagstaff Arden: Dallying? Oh, he's not dallying.
- Ellen Wagstaff Arden: Waas no miracle. Waas just the touch in fingers. Oh, I give yoou massage tooo! Very good.
- Grace Arden: I'll have a little talk with her about your duties.
- Ellen Wagstaff Arden: And I'll have a talk with him about his.
- Ellen Wagstaff Arden: Is good special Swedish massage. I walk up and down your back!
- Bianca Steele: On my back? With your shoes on?
- Ellen Wagstaff Arden: Is - is wonderful for the spine!
- Nicholas Arden: Dr. Slocum came forward to deliver the eulogy.
- Ellen Wagstaff Arden: What did he say?
- Nicholas Arden: Oh, what every one of us knew. That you were an angel on Earth, a wonderful mother, a devoted wife, credit to the community, and a darn good sport.
- Ellen Wagstaff Arden: I thought that you might think what I thought you were thinking, you know, when you thought that.
