Quotes 

• Carolyn Muir : You do a great imitation of a coward.

  Claymore Gregg : Oh, thank you.

• Capt. Daniel Gregg : Indulgence is the stepping stone to weakness.

  Carolyn Muir : Ah, but don't confuse indulgence with understanding.

• [Claymore can't be bothered to come out and fix Mrs. Muir's broken window, but she knows just which of his buttons to push] 

  Claymore Gregg : I can't possibly get away. I can't possibly.

  Carolyn Muir : Well, I suppose a few more days won't do any harm. After all, they ARE old drapes.

  Claymore Gregg : Drapes! My silk brocade drapes, Mrs. Muir. Have they been damaged?

  Carolyn Muir : Oh, no. No, I was just thinking what MIGHT happen if, uh... it should rain today.

  Claymore Gregg : "Rain today!" But Mrs. Muir, it is a beautiful day, please! I-I can''t be running out to Gull Cottage on a silly little chance that it might rain.

  Carolyn Muir : No, of course you can't. And, besides, what could a little downpour do to your Persian rugs?

  Claymore Gregg : My Persian rugs?

  Carolyn Muir : I mean, it would take a real cloudburst to warp your lovely floors.

  Claymore Gregg : My hardwood f-f-f-f-f... Mrs. Muir, you KNOW it's not going to rain today, PLEASE!

  Carolyn Muir : Of course not, Claymore, unless you-know-who loses his temper.

• [frightened, Claymore runs off] 

  Capt. Daniel Gregg : I had nothing whatever to do with that rodent abandoning ship.

  Carolyn Muir : Well, something scared him out of there.

  Capt. Daniel Gregg : Madam, that ninny could be scared by an angry termite.

• Carolyn Muir : Just think of me as den mother of the ghost pack.
