Quotes from
Jim Blandings: Look, you can't measure everything on a slide rule. This house has certain intangibles.
Bill Cole: Like what for instance?
Jim Blandings: Like antique value for instance. It just so happens that General, um, Gates stopped right there, that very house, to water his horses.
Bill Cole: I don't care if General Grant stopped in for a scotch and sode. You're still getting rooked.
Mr. Tesander: Mr. Blandings, there's a matter of $12.36.
Jim Blandings: $12.36?!? Why be a pika Mr. Tesander? Here! Take everything I've got! Spread it out amongst your pals. Perhaps Retch would like a little something! Maybe Zucca could use a new smoking jacket! It's open house Mr. Tesander -- help yourself!
Jim Blandings: Then why don't you admit it? You were in love with Bill Cole!
Muriel Blandings: Oh don't be absurd. Of course I was in love with Bill. In those days I was in love with a new man every week.
Jim Blandings: Then why did you marry me?
Muriel Blandings: I'm beginning to wonder. Maybe it was those big cow eyes of yours, or that ridiculous hole in your chin. Maybe I knew you were going to bring me out to this $38,000 icebox with a dried up trout stream and no windows -- or maybe I just happened to fall in love with you, but for heaven's sake, don't ask me why!
