Quotes 

• Lilian Gilbert : What is it? Aren't they coming?

  Edmund Gilbert : Worse!

  Lilian Gilbert : What can be worse?

  Edmund Gilbert : They're coming to dinner.

  Joseph : We... we have half a bologna, sir, a bottle of pickles and an egg.

  Lilian Gilbert : Joseph, that'll do.

  Joseph : I beg your pardon.

• Lilian Gilbert : What are you interested in?

  Paul Martin : Oh, a number of things.

  Lilian Gilbert : Mayn't I know?

  Paul Martin : Certainly. I'm very interested in you.

  Lilian Gilbert : In me? Why?

  Paul Martin : Because you're so interested in me...

  [She looks surprised] 

  Paul Martin : You usually entertain workmen in your drawing room?

  [She laughs] 

• Lilian Gilbert : We've got people coming over for dinner.

  Paul Martin : Who are they?

  Lilian Gilbert : Really? Is it any of your business?

  Paul Martin : Suitors?

  Lilian Gilbert : No, a couple of daddy's rich friends.

  Paul Martin : Oh, a couple of crooks.

  Lilian Gilbert : Businessmen.

  Paul Martin : Well, what's the difference?

  Lilian Gilbert : What's the difference?

  Paul Martin : Well, I'll tell you what the difference is. The business crook gets away with it every time. The ordinary crook never does... like that poor devil I saw trying to escape in the tube today.

• Paul Martin : You know, you look marvelous by candlelight.

  Lilian Gilbert : [laughing]  Oh, I don't look at all bad by electricity.

• Lilian Gilbert : You go on, you were going to say something.

  Paul Martin : No, I wasn't.

  Lilian Gilbert : But you had spoke.

  Paul Martin : Yes, but I wasn't going to say anything.

• Lilian Gilbert : I think Paul is a charming name.

  Paul Martin : Do you really, Miss Lilian?

  Lilian Gilbert : Yes, Paul.

• Lilian Gilbert : Do you play polo?

  Paul Martin : Never. One meets such awful people.

  Lilian Gilbert : I know. I can't ride either.

  Paul Martin : Some are people who do nothing but run around after silly girls.

  Lilian Gilbert : Very good exercise.

  Paul Martin : I prefer shooting.

  Lilian Gilbert : Pheasants?

  Paul Martin : People.

  Lilian Gilbert : You're not a murdered, are you?

  Paul Martin : Not yet, but I'd like to be.

  Lilian Gilbert : Thinking of killing anyone in particular?

  Paul Martin : Yes. The sort of ass who wears a monocle.

• Lilian Gilbert : Really, Mr. Martin. I fail to see why you should sulk for 10 minutes just because I happen to have a nephew who wears a monocle.

  Paul Martin : A nephew? Oh, just imagine you having a nephew.

  Lilian Gilbert : Absurd, isn't it?

  Paul Martin : Absurd? I think it's absolutely delightful. I wish I were your nephew.

• Edmund Gilbert : Do you know what this fellow said in there, that he's going to marry you?

  Lilian Gilbert : Did you say that?

  Paul Martin : Yes.

  Lilian Gilbert : He was lying. Leave it to me. If there's any throwing out to be done, I'll do the kicking. It's my affair.

• Edmund Gilbert : Just because you happen to have a few thousand stolen dollars.

  Paul Martin : Not stolen.

  Edmund Gilbert : Well... confound it, they're in your pocket.

  Paul Martin : No, not in my pocket.

  Edmund Gilbert : Well, where are they?

  Paul Martin : Nowhere. Burned.

  Edmund Gilbert : What? No.

  Lilian Gilbert : Yes, daddy, burned... Joseph put them all in the fire.

  Edmund Gilbert : All the hundred thousand?

  Lilian Gilbert : Yes.

• [last lines] 

  Edmund Gilbert : The whole thing a fake, from beginning to end.

  Lilian Gilbert : Only the beginning, darling. Not the end.
