• Connie Newton : Connie's going to bed!

  Bobby Brandon : That's swell! Been waiting two years to hear you say that!

  [beings to take off jacket] 

• Connie Newton : Bobby Brandon, what are you doing here?

  Bobby Brandon : Nothing yet. Give me time.

• Neil Hartley : I'm in luck. I have a car - and a driver.

  Connie Newton : And - gasoline?

• Connie Newton : I'm a peculiar case. I have nothing except money. I do as I please, go where I please, and, the answer is, I don't want to do anything or go anywhere. I know the cast of every party from Newport to Palm Beach. I get up in the morning just so I can go to bed at night.

  Neil Hartley : You need a change.

  Connie Newton : Oh, I need something. I have everything but the thing I want: ambition - something to work for. Talk about the poor working girl - she's lucky. At least she has a goal to reach. Something to long for. But me, I'm just one of those expensive women.

• Connie Newton : In a moment I'm going to lose my sweet school girl temper. Now, get out of here.

  Bobby Brandon : If you say get out, I get out - with you. If you say stay, I stay - with you.

  Connie Newton : Oh, you win Bobby.

• Melville Raymond : I want you to keep your hands off Arthur.

  Connie Newton : I love your son and he loves me.

  Melville Raymond : Perhaps I know very little about love, but I do know a great deal about marriage. I have devoted my life to my son. He means the world to me. He is married to a woman I admire. A woman who is right for him. She came to him - clean. Do you understand? And we Raymonds marry only women who come to us that way.

• George Allison : Every moment I realize, that more and more, that you and I have the same tastes.

  Connie Newton : You mean we like the same bathrooms.

  George Allison : That bathroom. That paradise of tiles and porcelain.

  Connie Newton : That heaven of soap and slippery showers.

  George Allison : That was the swellest bathroom ever built! Anyhow, when two people are brought together by a bathroom, they sort of belong together. Don't they

• Bobby Brandon : We're going to ditch the others. Just you and me. A place I know. Nobody knows but me.

  Connie Newton : Hmm. I thought you promised not to talk like that anymore.

  Bobby Brandon : Oh, it's New Year's Eve and anyway you can't hang a guy for trying.

• Connie Newton : After that I think I need a drink. Oh, don't bother. I think I'll pour it. Well, here's to the old year, I know the new one will be perfectly rotten.

• Arthur Raymond : Connie, I never expected to see you here.

  Connie Newton : Oh, it's the unexpected that always happens, Arthur.

• Neil Hartley : Oh, it's good to see you, Connie.

  Connie Newton : Connie's been a wild, mad sonata. Now she's all burned out and come to the pianissimo passage.

• Connie Newton : It's not a sacrifice, it's love!
