Godfrey:
Hasn't anyone ever told you about certain proprieties?
Irene: You use such lovely big words. I like big words. What does it mean? Godfrey: Well, I'll try to simplify it. Hasn't your mother or anyone ever explained to you that some things are proper and some things are not? Irene: No she hasn't. She rambles on quite a bit, but then she never has anything to say.

Godfrey:
That's most of your stock. I knew it had been dumped on the market, so I sold short.
Angelica Bullock: I don't understand. You sold short. You mean gentlemen's underwear?

Godfrey:
These flowers just came for you, miss. Where shall I put them?
Irene: What difference does it make where one puts flowers when one's heart is breaking? Godfrey: Yes, miss. Shall I put them on the piano?

Godfrey:
Why can't you let me alone?
Irene: Because you're my responsibility and someone has to take care of you. Godfrey: I can take care of myself. Irene: You can't look me in the eye and say that. You love me and you know it. You know, there's no sense in struggling against a thing when it's got you. It's got you and that's all there is to it - it's got you!

[Irene poses dramatically]
Cornelia Bullock: Oh, I remember that pose so well. I learned it in Dramatics School. It's Number 8 isn't it? Faithful George: Yep, that's Number 8 all right. Cornelia Bullock: Am I spoiling your act, dear? Irene: [under her breath to Cornelia] I'll spoil something of yours someday and it won't be your act!
