• T.R. Paige Jr. : I bet you were an awful cute baby.

  Eadie Chapman : You couldn't prove it. My family never had money to waste on photographs.

• Eadie Chapman : I like him and he's got plenty of dough.

  T.R. Paige Jr. : It isn't the money that counts. It's being together with somebody you can be crazy about. You think life with some moth-eaten millionaire'll be anything like the fun you and I could have?

  Eadie Chapman : I told you I'm not out for fun.

• Eadie Chapman : Oh, let me go. Tom, you can't do this to me!

  T.R. Paige Jr. : Hey, listen, that gag of yours about being a good girl... that isn't on the level, is it?

  Eadie Chapman : [Teary-eyed]  Yes. Yes, it is.

  T.R. Paige Jr. : Why, Eadie... I...

  Eadie Chapman : I love you so much, Tom. You can make me cheap and common like a million others; but, gee, I wish you wouldn't.

• Eadie Chapman : A lot of guys think they can buy you for a good meal - but, it's all the same thing. I been in spots like this before and I can take care of myself.

  T.R. Paige Jr. : Go ahead, honey, and get it off your chest.

  Eadie Chapman : You've had everything all your life! You've been all over the world. You pal around with the best people, but, there's one thing you haven't learned yet!

  T.R. Paige Jr. : What's that?

  Eadie Chapman : That other people have feelings too. I haven't had any education. All right! I look like a hotsy-totsy. All right! Nobody cared two hoots whether I amount to anything or not! All right! But I care!

  T.R. Paige Jr. : Gee, you're swell.

  Eadie Chapman : Yeah, but not swell enough to marry. Now, open that door!

• T.R. Paige Jr. : Eadie grew up in joints. She earned her living in second-rate nightclubs. And she came through the whole thing - clean!

• Kitty Lennihan : I'm waiting to see Mr. Paige.

  T.R. Paige Jr. : Well, I'm Mr. Paige.

  Eadie Chapman : [Disbelievingly]  Hmm, is that so? Well, I'm Mrs. Vanderbilt and this is Mrs. Astor. But she left her pet horse at home.

  T.R. Paige Jr. : How do you do Mrs. Astor?

• T.R. Paige Jr. : Every day for the last two weeks, you've given me the come-on and every night you bring on the frost.

• Charlie Turner : [Dropping in on T.R. and Eadie]  Well, well, I've been looking all over Palm Beach for you. Mind if I join you?

  T.R. Paige Jr. : Yes, we want to be alone.

  Charlie Turner : [Sits down at their table]  Well, I don't blame you! Prettiest girl in Palm Beach. You ought to see her in a bathing suit!

• Charlie Turner : I've got to go to Washington tonight with your Dad.

  T.R. Paige Jr. : Dad's going to Washington?

  Charlie Turner : Sure. Don't you know?

  T.R. Paige Jr. : Know what?

  Charlie Turner : Well, the big shots that have been hovering around here.

  [to Eadie] 

  Charlie Turner : He doesn't know that T.R. may head the American delegation to the new Disarmament Conference.

  T.R. Paige Jr. : Great scott, are they pulling another one of those?

  Charlie Turner : Another one? Your Dad thinks he's the biggest thing since Benjamin Franklin!

• T.R. Paige Jr. : You're driving me cuckoo!
