Veda:
[kissing check] Well, that's that!
Mildred: I'm sorry this had to happen; sorry for the boy, he seemed very nice. Veda: Oh Ted's all right really. Did you see the look on his face when we told him he was going to be a father? [laughs] Mildred: I wish you wouldn't joke about it. Veda: Mother, you're a scream, really you are. The next thing I know you'll be knitting little garments. Mildred: I don't see anything so ridiculous about that. Veda: If I were you, I'd save myself the trouble.

Veda:
That's what I like about you, Ida. You're so delightfully provincial.
Ida: [Sarcastically] And I like you, too. [to Monte] Ida: Don't look now, Junior, but you're standing under a brick wall. Monte: I don't get it. Ida: You will - when it falls on you.

Veda:
With this money I can get away from you. From you and your chickens and your pies and your kitchens and everything that smells of grease. I can get away from this shack with its cheap furniture. And this town and its dollar days, and its women that wear uniforms and its men that wear overalls.

Veda:
You think just because you made a little money you can get a new hairdo and some expensive clothes and turn yourself into a lady. But you can't, because you'll never be anything but a common frump whose father lived over a grocery store and whose mother took in washing.

Monte:
Drink?
Mildred: You drink too much. Monte: I know, I do too much of everything. I'm spoiled. Mildred: You've too many sisters... They all seem to be my size too. Monte: I know, I like them your size. [raises glass] Monte: To brotherly love.

Monte:
Oh, I wish I could get that interested in work.
Ida: You were probably frightened by a callus at an early age!

Monte:
We weren't expecting you Mildred, obviously.
Veda: It's just as well you know. I'm glad you know. Mildred: How long has this been going on?

Ida:
Laughing boy seems slightly burned at the edges. What's eating him?
Mildred: A small green-eyed monster. Ida: Jealous? That doesn't sound like Wally. No profit in it - and there's a boy who loves a dollar.
