Quotes 

• Alfred Munson : There is no sincerity like a woman telling a lie.

• Alfred Munson : You know, I'm too old for this sort of evening. I always was.

• Mrs. Margaret Munson : Now, do we have to go to this silly old dinner? The speaker will bore us and they won't miss us.

  Alfred Munson : Well, they'd miss him, my dear - he's the speaker.

  Mrs. Margaret Munson : This happens to me all the time!

• Alfred Munson : You're looking blooming!

• Mrs. Margaret Munson : [after being introduced to Philip Adams]  Who in heaven's name is that?

  Alfred Munson : Stop breathing so hard.

  Mrs. Margaret Munson : Oh, I didn't know it showed. Who is he? What is he? And speak slowly.

• Mrs. Margaret Munson : Well, what about this Mr. Adams?

  Alfred Munson : What do you want to know?

  Mrs. Margaret Munson : Everything. And I mean, everything.

  Alfred Munson : Well, I don't think he's romantically attached - which is what you're hinting.

  Mrs. Margaret Munson : I'm not hinting, I'm *asking*.

• Alfred Munson : Hello, Anna.

  Anna Kalman : Hello, Judas.

• Alfred Munson : There's one thing I'm very curious about. I'm hesitant to mention it to you - for fear you'll be offended.

  Philip Adams : Then perhaps you shouldn't.

• Alfred Munson : That's very romantic. I didn't mean that disparagingly. I envy you your touch. But it's my belief that success with women Is something that you're born with. You're not entitled to any of the credit.

• Alfred Munson : Did Philip ask you to come to New York?

  Anna Kalman : Oh, Philip? Oh, no, he'd never. He'd be too concerned about my reputation. He's the most considerate, unselfish, honorable man that ever lived.

  Mrs. Margaret Munson : Oh, I'm burning candles for him.

• Alfred Munson : You know, when you come to think of it, it's all very strange. It was perfectly all right when he was married, when you'd think that it wouldn't be. And now that we know that he's single, when it should be all right, if you know what I mean, well, it isn't. Do you follow me?

  Mrs. Margaret Munson : No, I don't follow you.

• Philip Adams : Since I have no intention of getting married, I feel honor-bound to declare myself in the beginning.

  Alfred Munson : But before the favors?

  Philip Adams : Certainly before the favors. That's where the honor comes in.

• Alfred Munson : Oh, you haven't got a gun, have you?

  Anna Kalman : Shooting is too good for him.

  Mrs. Margaret Munson : That's how I like to hear you talk. No violence.

• Alfred Munson : Did you see all that signaling in the elevator?

  Mrs. Margaret Munson : Wigwagging over our heads.

• Alfred Munson : [phone rings]  Philip. He wants to know if we're out and if the coast is clear.

  Mrs. Margaret Munson : Well, we're not and it isn't and its not going to be.
