Quotes 

• Kenneth Wayne : How about a toast?

  Kathleen : I know one. Here's to your health, your honor, and the health of all your descendants, great and small.

  Kenneth Wayne : That's a mighty handsome toast.

  Kathleen : But, Irish toasts are the best I know.

  Kenneth Wayne : May you keep as young and as pretty as you are, until doomsday, and never forget the man who wished it.

  Kathleen : I wonder now, as I look at you, have we never met before?

  Kenneth Wayne : No, I guess we haven't. I shouldn't have forgotten.

  Kathleen : Oh, could you be Irish too!

  Kenneth Wayne : Yeah, I could, if I saw enough of you!

  Kathleen : Oh!

• Kathleen : People were afraid to come into this room. Something had happened here. Something strange and terrible.

  Willie Ainley : You have got an uncomfortable mind.

  Kathleen : They locked the doors and went away forever. As though there were a curse on the house.

  Willie Ainley : I say, you know, you're giving me the creeps.

• Kathleen : Look at this. When Jeremy Wayne got it, he crushed it in his hand and threw it away. Why would he do that?

  Willie Ainley : Probably he was blotto. He emptied half of the decanter.

  Kathleen : Don't be an ass, Willie!

• Kenneth Wayne : The very thing for you, old Port. Look.

  Kathleen : 1847!

  Willie Ainley : '47?

  Kenneth Wayne : Well, it was the best I could find. Any ole Port in a storm. Ha-ha-ha.

• Kathleen : Well, I'll be darned. A window peeper!

  Kenneth Wayne : Oh no, I wasn't peeping. I was just looking.

• Sir John Carteret : Oh, darling, what's the use of going to Paris?

  Moonyeen : What's the use of doing anything, except for sitting here the rest of our lives.

  Sir John Carteret : Except, the food's awfully good in Paris.

  Moonyeen : Its going to be a beautiful honeymoon - spent in a restaurant.

  Sir John Carteret : Ha-ha-ha, Oh, darling.

• Kenneth Wayne : Oh, darling, I love you so.

  Kathleen : Is that all?

  Kenneth Wayne : All?

  Kathleen : Don't you want me, too? I want you. I'm not ashamed to say it. I'm yours. You're mine. I want that to be true, before you go.

• Kathleen : I've been an awful prune.

  Kenneth Wayne : Oh no, darling, no you haven't.

  Kathleen : Yes I have.

  Kenneth Wayne : No, far from a prune.

• Kathleen : It has been fun, hasn't it?

  Kenneth Wayne : Oh, it's been swell!

• Moonyeen : [singing]  There's a gray lock or two in the brown of the hair, There's some silver in mine too I see. But in all of the years, when the clouds brought their tears, those two eyes of blue, kept smiling through - at me.

• Kathleen : I don't care what happens the day after tomorrow! Any more than I care what happened 50 years ago!

• Kathleen : Well, I can't force you to take me! You haven't convinced me at all. Of course, if you, if you don't want me!

• Sir John Carteret : Why, then, is this what they call dying? It's nothing, is it?

  Moonyeen : Nothing, dear! And everything!
