Johnny Parkson Riggs: You didn't tell anybody I was your guardian angel, did you?
Yolanda Aquaviva: Not exactly. All I said was that you weren't a real man. My aunt doesn't believe me.
Yolanda Aquaviva: I'm glad of that. I'd rather it didn't get around.

Mrs. Anna Smith: Rose, Esther, the water's hot. We're eating early tonight, so if you're going to wash your hair, you better do it now.
Rose Smith: All right, Mama. Es, why are we eating early?
Esther Smith: Well, you certainly don't want the whole family sitting there drinking in every word while a man proposes to you long-distance.
Rose Smith: Proposes? I don't see why you think Warren's going to propose to me.
Esther Smith: Well, why else would he be calling you long-distance? Do you know what it costs?
Rose Smith: I'm not even sure I'll be in. My dear, when you get to be my age, you'll find there are more important things in life than boys!
