Janet Beecher: Mrs. Colby

Quotes 

• Mrs. Colby : Scott! Hurry up with the cocktails! I need something to steady my hand.

• Scott Miller : Well, Brinkie's off on one of his short stories again. Probably last an hour. He doesn't even know I left him. Still talking.

  Mrs. Colby : That's cruel, Scott.

  Scott Miller : He doesn't care. The other day while he was spinning his favorite yarn at the club his audience changed three times. He never knew the difference.

• Kay Colby : You're not planning on coming with me, by any chance?

  Mrs. Colby : Certainly not. I have better ways to spend my declining weekends, dear.

• Mrs. Colby : What kind of a costume is Stuart wearing?

  Kay Colby : I don't know. He said something about going as a fudge sundae.

  Mrs. Colby : How appealing.

• Mrs. Colby : I don't see why I have to tell you everything. I'm free, white and - eh - in my early 40s.

• Mrs. Colby : I've got to get over there. We can't leave them unchaperoned all night!

  Scott Miller : Why not? That's what she wants, isn't it?

• Mrs. Colby : Kay! Put your feet right back in that mustard! Do you want to catch pneumonia?

  Kay Colby : I don't care what I catch!

  Mrs. Colby : Do I have to tie you in this tub?
