Henry Lowndes : The linotypers are on strike!
-
Henry Lowndes : Vicky, will you tell Peter to have dinner at six o'clock so I can go back to the office. The linotypers strike throws our whole schedule into a cocked hat.
-
Bill Cardew : I'm out of your life. Drowned. Forgotten. You found a new love. That makes me an unwanted corpse at a party. I'll go.
Vicky Lowndes : No, no dear. We don't feel that way at all. Do we, Henry?
Henry Lowndes : I think he described himself perfectly!
-
Henry Lowndes : [Sarcastically] Rave on, you wonderful thing!
-
Henry Lowndes : Buck up, Bill!

Henry Lowndes : Close your eyes and - plunge!
-
Henry Lowndes : Bill - he's everything a woman loves: handsome, reckless, unreliable, athletic, selfish.
-
Henry Lowndes : I'm licked, Vicky.
-
Henry Lowndes : Mrs. Lowndes should be back? Oh well, a woman at her hair dressers.
-

Henry Lowndes : To both of us!
-
Vicky Lowndes : Where did you go?
Henry Lowndes : Oh, places

Vicky Lowndes : I see. The condemned men had a hardy drunk!
-
Henry Lowndes : Who ruined our lives? Who sent us out to saturate ourselves with liquid poison?
Bill Cardew : Yes. What did we talk about with every woman that sat down with us?
Henry Lowndes : Vicki. Our wife!
-
Henry Lowndes : Well, there's something wrong. You both act as if I'm repulsive
-
Henry Lowndes : Are you trying to tell me that you didn't love me, that you married me just because I was so kind?
Bill Cardew : She's telling me what kind of a rat you were, taking advantage of a helpless widow.
Henry Lowndes : There, you said it yourself. If you call her a widow, that proves that even you thought you were dead.
Bill Cardew : I'll show you how dead I am.
-
Henry Lowndes : Are you stupid enough to believe that I'd leave you here with my wife?
Bill Cardew : Your wife?
Henry Lowndes : Or anybody's wife?

-
Henry Lowndes : What are you whispering?
Vicky Lowndes : I wasn't whispering.
Bill Cardew : I was showing her where a barracuda bit me.
-
Henry Lowndes : A fine thing. And may I comment in passing that it seems awfully strange to order a man out of his own bedroom just because a squealing corpse has washed ashore.
Bill Cardew : This! This is the night I dreamed about while I starved on berries and fish.
-
Bill Cardew : Say, where are my suits?
Henry Lowndes : I gave them to a tramp.
Bill Cardew : You didn't even save one to bury me in?

Henry Lowndes : I suppose this is hypnotism, a little thing you picked up on your island.
Bill Cardew : I was just seeing you at my wedding, my best man.
Henry Lowndes : Oh, that wedding. You should have seen mine.
Bill Cardew : My best man... offering a toast. "To Bill," he says, "the one man in the world I'd gladly die for."
Henry Lowndes : Oh, did I say that?
Bill Cardew : Well, I'm ready. Let's see you gladly die.
-
Bill Cardew : This is my table, and I want a steak.
Henry Lowndes : A glorious night for romance, and you want to tear a cow apart with your teeth.
-
Vicky Lowndes : [In the guest bedroom where both men are to sleep this night] I just thought I'd see if you were all right.
Bill Cardew : I don't feel very good.
Vicky Lowndes : No? What's the matter?
Bill Cardew : Fever, I guess. Deadly tropical fever.
Vicky Lowndes : Your forehead isn't hot.
Bill Cardew : Don't take your hand away.
Vicky Lowndes : Get some aspirin from the cabinet, will you, Henry?
Henry Lowndes : Let him get his own aspirin. I don't feel any too well myself.
Vicky Lowndes : Really, dear?
Henry Lowndes : No.
Vicky Lowndes : Stick out your tongue.
Henry Lowndes : What's my tongue got to do with it? You held his head.
Vicky Lowndes : Let me see your tongue. You know your stomach always goes bad first.
Bill Cardew : [Looks at Henry sticking out his tongue] I'd be sick if I had that in my mouth.
Vicky Lowndes : You're all right. Did you brush your teeth?
Henry Lowndes : Ask him if he brushed his.
Bill Cardew : Can I help it if somebody gave my toothbrush to a tramp?
Henry Lowndes : The tramp wouldn't take it.
