Quotes 

• Pepi D'Costa : If one felt about things at night as one does the next morning, life would be an awful lot easier!

• Minnie, Duchess of Sourae : Oh, Pepi. I do love you so!

  Pepi D'Costa : That's right.

• Lady Pearl Grayston : You're an unprincipled ruffian, Pepi.

  Pepi D'Costa : Do you mind?

  Lady Pearl Grayston : Shameless creature.

  [laughs] 

  Lady Pearl Grayston : I wonder what it is that Minnie sees in you?

  Pepi D'Costa : Oh, I have all sorts of merits.

  Lady Pearl Grayston : Mmm, I'm glad you think so.

• Lady Pearl Grayston : Oh, Pepi, we've just been talking about you.

  Pepi D'Costa : Nothing good, I presume.

  Lady Pearl Grayston : Naturally not.

• Lady Pearl Grayston : Some cake, Pepi?

  Pepi D'Costa : You're looking perfectly divine, today.

  Lady Pearl Grayston : Are you making love to me?

  Pepi D'Costa : That's nothing new, is it?

• Pepi D'Costa : No man could stand being loved so much. You think it's jolly for me to feel that your eyes are glued on me, whatever I'm doing? I can never put my hand out without finding yours there ready to press it.

  Duchess : I can't help it if I love you. It's my temperament.

  Pepi D'Costa : Yes, but you needn't show it so much. Why don't you leave me to do the lovemaking?

  Duchess : If did, there wouldn't be *any* lovemaking.

• Pepi D'Costa : One has to think of one's future. I shouldn't be 25 for ever, you know.

  Duchess : You've been 25 a long time now, Pepi.

• Duchess : Don't you care for me any more?

  Pepi D'Costa : Of course, I care for you. If I didn't, do you think I'd let you do all you have for me?

• Pepi D'Costa : Well, hang it all, you can't expect me to be tied to your apron strings always. It's a bit thick if whenever I want to take a - a man down to play golf I have to ring up and ask if I can have one of your cars.

• Duchess : Tell me, tell me, what's the body like?

  Pepi D'Costa : Oh, it's a streamlined body.
