• Mrs. Cartwright : You're not still blaming him, I hope.

  Joan Fisk : He shouldn't have thought me capable of that.

  Mrs. Cartwright : Have a heart, girl. He's a man, not an x-ray machine! What are you gonna do about him?

  Joan Fisk : Nothing.

  Mrs. Cartwright : Pride's a wonderful thing, but it doesn't warm you on a cold, wintry night.

  Joan Fisk : I have an electric blanket.

  Mrs. Cartwright : ...It won't be the father of your children.

• Mrs. Cartwright : Of course there's always the possibility, choir boy or not, that you'll have to beat him off with a stick. If you feel you can't handle it...

  Joan Fisk : With my hands tied behind my back.

  Mrs. Cartwright : I wouldn't try it that way, my dear. I'll tell you a sad story some day.

• Joan Fisk : They've been using you as a guinea pig.

  Sgt. Danny Sullivan : Who has?

  Joan Fisk : My father, the ambassador, and General Harvey and Senator Cartwright.

  Sgt. Danny Sullivan : Ambassador? And general, and senator?

  Joan Fisk : Don't worry about it, dear.

• Joan Fisk : [Talking to Sgt. Sullivan who's standing at guard as an MP outside the American embassy]  You're really not being sensible. You can't possibly be rotated home - the general has seen to that. You can't write your senator - the senator's fixed that. You can't appeal to the embassy - my father's the ambassador. Why don't you give in? Very well, darling, it'll be a June wedding, and you can hold out 'til then. Matter of fact, it has some advantages. I like to know where you are.

• Mrs. Cartwright : Well, that puts a different complexion on things, doesn't it?

  Joan Fisk : I guess it does - some.

  Mrs. Cartwright : Some? You're not still blaming him are you?

  Joan Fisk : He shouldn't have thought me capable of that.

  Mrs. Cartwright : Have a heart, girl. He's a man, not an x-ray machine. What're you gonna do about him?

  Joan Fisk : Nothing.
