Lady Patricia : Do hunches ever fail?
Dan Armstrong : Not more than nine times out of ten.

Lady Patricia , Dan Armstrong : You think I'm pretty contemptible, don't you?
Dan Armstrong : Yes, in a way. But I like you.
Lady Patricia : That is decent of you.
Dan Armstrong : I've met many gold-diggers in my life, but you happen to be the first one to have the courage to admit it.

Lady Patricia : Yes, I am thinking of marrying him.
Dan Armstrong : What, just for his money?
Lady Patricia : Can you suggest a better reason?
Dan Armstrong : Well, do you think that's a nice way to look at marriage?
Lady Patricia : It's the only way. We learned that from you Americans.
Dan Armstrong : Cold-bloodedness?
Lady Patricia : Yes. We used to laugh at you because you glorified money, but that was when we had so much we didn't need to worry about it. Now, we have to go out and struggle for it, just as you did. And so, we appreciate it very well.
Dan Armstrong : I seeee... Well, so maybe, if you found a man who was even richer than Manningdale, you might change your plans about marrying him?
Lady Patricia : I might.

Lady Patricia : No, Henry, you are wrong. There's no romance in Dan Armstrong - except the romance of big business.
-
Dan Armstrong : I happen to have kind of, uh, old-fashioned ideas about love.
Lady Patricia : This has nothing to do with love. I'm marrying into the Manningdale bank because it stands for strength, power. Because it understands the infinite, indescribable beauty of money.

Lady Patricia : Do you ride, Mr. Armstrong?
Dan Armstrong : Not horses -- I ride hunches.
Lady Patricia : Hunches?
Dan Armstrong : Mm hmm.
Lady Patricia : Oh, are they some kind of American animal, like, uh, buffalo?
Dan Armstrong : Oh, you find 'em everywhere. They're, uh, guesses, feelings that something improbable is going to happen.
