• Ann Duryea : I'm glad you're here Donnie. I have a bone to pick with you.

  Donnie Wainwright : Oh, well, let's pick it over there, under the piano.

  Ann Duryea : Very well.

• Party Guest : Who's that girl?

  Donnie Wainwright : Which one?

  Party Guest : The one in white over there, wasting that gorgeous smile on old man Patridge.

  Donnie Wainwright : Oh, that's Venice Muir.

  Party Guest : Well, I'm cutting in.

  Donnie Wainwright : Go ahead. She's a nice girl. Nicest girl I know. Old Patridge is her lawyer. You know, custody of her estate. He said he used to take her over his knee and spank her, et cetera.

  Party Guest : Well, he can be her lawyer or trustee, I'll, eh, take the et cetera.

• Donnie Wainwright : She's too gloomy.

  Lola : Oh, she is not. Why, Venice is the sweetest girl here. She has a positively beautiful sense of humor. And, underneath, why, she's really warm - and vibrant - and mysterious.

  Donnie Wainwright : Venice?

  Lola : Yes, Venice. And she isn't shop-worn!

• Donnie Wainwright : I love your sense of humor; but, don't use it just now.

• Donnie Wainwright : Well, I guess the only place I could talk to you would be while you're taking a bath.

• Donnie Wainwright : Say you've got lovely hair. Where did you get it?

  Venice Muir : I've had it for years.

• Donnie Wainwright : You shouldn't have done that.

  Venice Muir : No, Donnie, I shouldn't have.

• Donnie Wainwright : Oh, why not lay off me till I get my perspective back. And, if you're still interested, we might be - playmates. Well, you won't be lonesome in the meantime.

  Venice Muir : What are you saying?

  Donnie Wainwright : Oh, don't suddenly go innocent on me!
