Joanna Stayton/Annie Proffitt : [Grant has just arrived at the hospital; Joanna doesn't know he's right outside, behind a one-way mirror] You mean to tell me that I have no medical recourse...?
Grant Stayton : Can she see us?
Cop at Hospital : Not unless she's Superwoman.
Joanna Stayton/Annie Proffitt : Well, what DO you know? Extend your brain a teensy little bit, if possible!
Doctor at Hospital : You seem to be suffering from a temporary amnesia, either from the bump against the garbage scow, or the shock of the cold water.
Joanna Stayton/Annie Proffitt : How temporary is it?
Doctor at Hospital : We don't know. Other than that, you seem to be in excellent physical shape.
Joanna Stayton/Annie Proffitt : Listen to me, medical people. As of now, I have a life history of a dirty garbage scow and a breakfast of extremely runny eggs over-easy. Now, I refuse - REFUSE

Joanna Stayton/Annie Proffitt : I demand you do something! Do you hear me?
Grant Stayton : [to the cop] Nooo, I never saw her before in my life.
[leaves the hospital; later, back on the yacht]
Grant Stayton : Mrs. Stayton has decided to leave me. Let's celebrate!

Joanna Stayton/Annie Proffitt : [aboard her yacht, Joanna is on the phone] I know it will cost me, but it's the cutest little painting. I simply must have it. You'll do the bidding for me at the auction? $1,700,000.
[gunshots]
Joanna Stayton/Annie Proffitt : Grant, I'm on the phone!
Grant Stayton : I can't hear you, Tea Rose! I'm shooting skeet!
[goes back to firing]

Joanna Stayton/Annie Proffitt : Try to understand,Grant, I don't love you anymore.
Grant Stayton : What's love got to do with marriage?

Grant Stayton : [in bed, aboard the yacht] Joanna, I want you tonight - How can you have your period every week?
Joanna Stayton/Annie Proffitt : [Grant is glued to "Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous"] Must you watch that thing incessantly?
Grant Stayton : Yes, I must. It has a tawdry, escapist quality that soothes my nerves.
Joanna Stayton/Annie Proffitt : What you have to escape from, I can't possibly imagine
[notices she's not wearing her wedding ring]
Joanna Stayton/Annie Proffitt : Grant, I left my wedding ring on the deck.
Grant Stayton : Well, what can I do?
Joanna Stayton/Annie Proffitt : Go and get it.
Grant Stayton : It's after midnight.
Joanna Stayton/Annie Proffitt : I don't care what time it is. I want it now.
Grant Stayton : I just want to see who's in the top ten yachts.
Joanna Stayton/Annie Proffitt : [sighs in disgust] I'll get it!
Grant Stayton : Okay.

Edith Mintz : Cigarette, darling?
Annie : I don't smoke, Mother.
[to Grant]
Annie : Do I?
Grant Stayton : Of course you smoke. You've always smoked.
Edith Mintz : I smoke.
Dr. Norman Korman : Why don't we all smoke?
Grant Stayton : Well, why do I have to smoke? I never smoked. I get sick when I smoke. Why is everyone always trying to make me do what I don't want to do?
Edith Mintz : Grant, we are not interested in your therapy.
Grant Stayton : I had my nervous breakdown and I didn't have therapy. I never had therapy!
