• Henry Thayer : Mr. van Luyn, I'm wonderin' if you'd pardon a very personal question?

  William van Luyn : Why, certainly! Why not?

  Henry Thayer : How does it feel to be rich?

  William van Luyn : Feel? It doesn't feel.

• Joan Thayer : I see it all, dear. Very clearly. We live in two different worlds! You were very sweet to them all today; but, you did think Henry a bore.

  William van Luyn : No, I didn't. No, I didn't, Joan.

  Joan Thayer : Oh, yes, you did. And you thought Frank was a blank and Helen was vulgar.

  William van Luyn : Why, nothing of the sort, Joan. I thought she was a cute kid.

• William van Luyn : It's hot in here, isn't it, dear?

  Joan Thayer : Why, it's hot everywhere, tonight.

  William van Luyn : But, it seems to me that it's hotter in here than it is anyplace else.
