Quotes 

• 'Dan' Leeson : I certainly learned about women from you.

  Aunt Patsy : [handing him the letter Lucy intended to break up with him in]  Here's your diploma.

• 'Dan' Leeson : Glad to know you.

  Jerry Warriner : Well, how can you be glad to know me? I know how I'd feel if I was sitting with a girl and her husband walked in.

  Lucy Warriner : I'll bet you do.

• Aunt Patsy : [to Lucy]  Mr. Leeson's a neighbor of ours. He lives just across the hall, with his mother. Isn't that what you said, with your mother?

  'Dan' Leeson : That's right, with my mother. We're here on a visit. I'm in oil, you know.

  Aunt Patsy : Marinated, so to speak.

• 'Dan' Leeson : Are you sure you don't like that fella?

  Lucy Warriner : Like him? You saw the way I treated him, didn't you?

  'Dan' Leeson : That's what I mean. Back on my ranch, I got a little red rooster and a little brown hen and they fight all the time too, but every once in a while they make up again and they're right friendly.

• [Reading his poem to Lucy] 

  'Dan' Leeson : For you, my little prairie flower / I'm thinking of you every hour / It would make my life divine / if you would change your name to mine.

• 'Dan' Leeson : Well, I guess a man's best friend is his mother.
