Quotes
-
Margaret Ridgeway : [to a gendarme who is arresting her husband] I'm his moll. Wherever he goes, I go - gangster talk!
-
Monsieur Victor Lobard : With your permission, Mr. Ridgeway, his highness, Prince Paneiev, requests the honor of dancing with Miss Laura. It's a royal prerogative, sir. Quite without impertinence.
Joseph Ridgeway : That may be true but...
Laura Ridgeway : Tell his highness, I'd be delighted.
Monsieur Victor Lobard : Thank you, Miss Laura.
Margaret Ridgeway : Sounds like a royal pickup to me.
-
Alexis : May I have the pleasure?
Laura Ridgeway : Why, yes, of course.
[they go to the dance floor]
Margaret Ridgeway : [to her brother, Joseph] He'll get to you later.
-
Joseph Ridgeway : The only genuine title that I ever met was that baron that married Frank Crawford's daughter. And he was the dumbest, stupidest, most boring dope that it's ever been my misfortune to shake hands with.
Margaret Ridgeway : Laura, I consider his remarks unpatriotic.
-
Joseph Ridgeway : By all civilized standards, this dance should've been finished three quarters of an hour ago. What do you think it is, a marathon?
Margaret Ridgeway : Well, I feel certain he isn't holding her out there by main force.

Joseph Ridgeway : Is this fellow a Russian too?
Monsieur Victor Lobard : Oh yes sir, sir.
Margaret Ridgeway : Then why isn't he driving a taxi?
-
Alexis : Anyway, I've had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Ridgeway. Long ago in Russia I have heard of him very highly.
Joseph Ridgeway : Yeah? You don't say so.
Alexis : Yes, yes. Yes - perhaps you do not realize what a famous man you are.
Margaret Ridgeway : Oh, he's not exactly unaware of it.
-
Margaret Ridgeway : I consider his remarks unpatriotic. Our own clean-cut young American boys are just as anxious to marry money as the foreigners are.
