Mrs. Martha Marlowe : Flowers, food, champagne and whiskeys. Enough for about 40 people. That will cost money. And getting the money from your father, in these times, will not be simple. You seem very much interested, my pet.
Mary Marlowe : I fear I'm not the least interested, Mama.

Mary Marlowe : I'll not marry...
Mrs. Martha Marlowe : Oh, yes, you'll marry him, my dear. He has asked for your hand and your father and I have accepted him.

Mr. William Marlowe : Picking flowers? At this time of night? You've been acting very strangely today, Mary.

Mary Marlowe : And my father's family, too, Papa.
Mr. William Marlowe : Yes. Huh? No!

John Carlton : Well, there you, Mrs. Carlton. There's our new home.
Mary Carlton : It's perfect! Just like the Garden of Eden.
John Carlton : Well, they're plenty of snakes, I'm afraid; but, no apples. Never mind, we'll plant some.
Mary Carlton : Yes, dear.

Mary Carlton : Give me my surprise.
John Carlton : What surprise?
Mary Carlton : Now, John, don't tease.

John Carlton : Did I ever say anything like that?
Mary Carlton : Well, I thought you did.

Susan Channing : It's poor mother I'm thinking of. All her life it's been father calling, "Mary, do this. Mary, do that. Mary, come here, I want you."
Mary Carlton : Susan, I didn't mind that at all. I *liked* hearing it. It's not such a bad thing for a woman to hear from her husband.
John Carlton : Bravo, Madam.

John Carlton : Are you nervous when I drive fast, Madam?
Mary Carlton : Yes, John. Eh-eh, no, John! No, no, in deed!
