- Peggy Morgan: Is it money? Do you want more from John?
- Margaret Elliott: More money? I never asked Johnny for money.
- Peggy Morgan: He's given you $2500 over the past two years.
- Margaret Elliott: Well, I gave gim $ 25.000 when I divorced him so he could marry you.
- Jim Johannson aka Barry Lester: [while at the zoo, a seal is barking loudly] Listen to that seal!
- Margaret Elliott: Sounds like my brother-in-law!
- Margaret Elliott: Haven't you ever cried because you're happy?
- Gretchen: No.
- Margaret Elliott: Well, you see, some people cry when they're happy and laugh when they're mad.
- Jim Johannson aka Barry Lester: You're confusing "what was" with "what is". That's why you got drunk last night and tried to kill yourself.
- Margaret Elliott: [taken aback] Me? Kill myself? Hah! If I were to kill myself I'd rip the lid off this town first.
- Margaret Elliott: [Gretchen is leaning over the edge of Jim's sailboat] Be careful, Gretchen! If you fell over...
- Jim Johannson aka Barry Lester: Oh, she won't. She's a good sailor.
- Jim Johannson aka Barry Lester: You know, it's funny, I was just thinking. Sailors are a lot like actors. With them it's always the next ship and the next voyage, and with an actor it's always the next part and the next picture... Always chasing rainbows.
