David Slater:
Now there's a man who's hard to please. He gripes when you're trying to be pure and he gripes when you're trying to be wanton.

David Slater:
Would you consider our friend to be a man of... principles?

Patty O'Neill:
Don't you ever eat meals up here?
Donald Gresham: Nope. Patty O'Neill: No wonder you are so unhappy and maladjusted. Donald Gresham: I am not a bit unhappy and my adjustment is just dandy! Patty O'Neill: Well, I think it's awful to let this darling kitchen go to waste. This lovely icebox and stove. And that garbage disposal with nobody to use it. I want to cry, honestly.

He has reasons for suspicion.
David Slater: Take my advice and let them lurk. Patty O'Neill: What? David Slater: Suspicion, my child, suspicion. The lurking doubt. Is she or isn't she? Does she or doesn't she? Will she or won't she? Suspicion, the most powerful aphrodisiac in the world.

Patty O'Neill:
I took my shoes off because my feet hurt.
David Slater: Oh, you should never say your feet hurt. Patty O'Neill: Why not? They do. David Slater: "My foot, singular, hurts" is an intriguing statement. "My feet, plural, hurt" is a rather sordid admission.
