[a butler passes by]
Miss Claudia Caswell: Oh, waiter! Addison DeWitt: That is not a waiter, my dear, that is a butler. Miss Claudia Caswell: Well, I can't yell "Oh butler!" can I? Maybe somebody's name is Butler. Addison DeWitt: You have a point. An idiotic one, but a point. Miss Claudia Caswell: I don't want to make trouble. All I want is a drink. Max Fabian: Leave it to me. I'll get you one. Miss Claudia Caswell: Thank you, Mr. Fabian. Addison DeWitt: Well done! I can see your career rise in the east like the sun.

Bill's thirty-two. He looks thirty-two. He looked it five years ago, he'll look it twenty years from now. I hate men.
