Quotes 

• Jacques Picot : You're wonderful.

  Eve Peabody : You're magnificent.

  Helene Flammarion : You're talking across the board.

• Eve Peabody : When I married, I didn't realize that in the Czerny family there was a streak of... shall we say, eccentricity? And yet, I had warning. Why else should his grandfather have sent me, as an engagement present, one roller skate - covered with Thousand Island dressing?

  Jacques Picot : [Shocked]  What?

  Georges Flammarion : Of course, of course I'd forgotten! The Czerny's are all like that. You know, I met an old aunt - the Countess Antonia. I thought she was an Indian. It turned out, that she used paprika instead of face powder.

• Jacques Picot : I'm terribly sorry. It's difficult to concentrate on cards... sometimes.

  Eve Peabody : [Referring to Jacques' dislike of Helene's feathered hat]  Naturally, when you're worrying about the future of the ostrich plume.

  Helene Flammarion : I don't think that's very funny.

  Jacques Picot : I do.

  Eve Peabody : Well, thanks.

• Jacques Picot : [Trying to describe Helene's hat]  Well, it's...

  Eve Peabody : Oh, I think it's a dream on you. You know, it does something for your face. It gives you a chin.
