Bake Baker: Sherry tells me you're leaving. Well, that's probably the wisest thing to do. Run away! All this stuff about fighting for your man and all that makes things so complicated. Now, if all girls would just give up and run back to Bellport, then we'd definitely see the end of family life, little Junior would remain just an idea, and every man would burn his own toast. I thank you!

Ellie Andrews: You think I'm a fool and a spoiled brat. Well, perhaps I am, although I don't see how I can be. People who are spoiled are accustomed to having their own way. I never have. On the contrary. I've always been told what to do, and how to do it, and when, and with whom. Would you believe it? This is the first time I've ever been alone with a man!
Peter Warne: Yeah?
Ellie Andrews: It's a wonder I'm not panic-stricken.
Peter Warne: You're doing alright.

Jane Norton: If a woman can't hold her man, then it's her own fault. But I'm going to hold mine.

Sherry Martin: Well, men haven't x-ray eyes -- though sometimes I wonder.

Connie Martin: It used to end up by my saying I'd be a sister to them. Now it begins by their saying they'll be a brother to me.
Sherry Martin: That's the difference between us. I make them say uncle.

Kurt: Only grown-up men are scared of women.
