- Carlotta Beck: It's just a matter of time, I have to sell my furs... my jewels... my Bentley! How am I gonna get around?
- Marshall Beck: Well, you still have your broom.
- Kathleen Beck: Oh, who care about you? You're old! I'm the one with the most at stake here. I have my whole life ahead of me.
- Carlotta Beck: I wouldn't be too sure about that!
- Carlotta Beck: There are no real men left in this world. Where are the Clark Gables? The John Waynes? Men who would go out and slay the dragon when it needed slayin'!

- Carlotta Beck: Stanley, be forewarned, this is the last day we will allow ourselves to be used as cheap, domestic labor. If you refuse to pay servants, you leave us no choice but to adopt small, pliant children from underprivileged countries.
