Susan 'Susie' Fletcher: I'm going down to Greenwich Village and get those children somehow.
Mr. Simon Fletcher: But you can't handle this man! Why, he's an artist; he's lived abroad, in Paris, on the Left Bank. You don't know the kind of thing that goes on on the Left Bank! You haven't had enough experience!
Susan 'Susie' Fletcher: You forget I was a senior at Vassar.

Belle Carter: [to Kit] Tell me, how is your new book coming along?
Kit Marlowe: Well, I write and I write, and I still don't like it.
Belle Carter: But, at least when you do turn one out, it's a gem! None of this grinding them out like sausage...
Belle Carter: [she realizes that she has just insulted Millie and pauses with embarrassment] I suppose I could cut my throat.
Millie Drake: [clearly offended] There's a knife on the table!

Charlotte Lovell: She thinks I can't understand her. She considers me an old maid.
Delia Lovell Ralston: My dear.
Charlotte Lovell: A ridiculous, narrow-minded old maid. What else can she ever think of me?
Delia Lovell Ralston: Poor Charlotte.
Charlotte Lovell: Oh, but you needn't pity me. Because she's really mine. If she considers me an old maid, it's because I've deliberately made myself one in her eyes. I've done it from the beginning so she wouldn't have the least suspicion. I've practised everything I've ever had to say to her, if it was important, so that I'd sound like an old maid aunt talking. Not her mother.
Delia Lovell Ralston: Well, after all, darling, there isn't anything important to say to her now. She has every attribute of a modern successful woman - she's healthy, she's young, she's gay, she's attractive...

Gaston Monescu: Well, what did she want?
Lily Vautier: You. And she's willing to pay as high as 50 francs.
