Quotes 

• Pat Quinn : You're just trying to keep us apart. You don't understand him. You never did! Alan is a man who...

  Alice Merritt : He's a child, my dear, in many ways. He needs mothering and guiding and a swift, firm hand to get him out of the jams he gets himself into.

  Pat Quinn : With me by his side, he wouldn't get into jams!

  Alice Merritt : When I was married to him, it was jam for breakfast, jam for lunch, and jam for dinner.

• Alice Merritt : It's a crazy idea - and, I'm afraid, I'm not crazy any more.

  Arthur Layton : Well, things were much better when we were all crazy. But, crazy together.

• Alice Merritt : Arthur, do you really think I could do it?

  Arthur Layton : Of course you could! Make him work, by hating you or loving you. Inspire him or brain him. Now, get your hat. Do anything.

• Alice Merritt : I'm going to beg them to take you to jail. Then, I'm coming to visit you and throw peanuts at you, you conceited gorilla.

• Alan Tanner : Alice.

  [kiss] 

  Alan Tanner : Gosh, that was good.

  Alice Merritt : Oh, put me down.

  Alan Tanner : You're down.

  Alice Merritt : Put me up! I mean, let me go.

• Alice Merritt : You don't want to put Mr. Tanner in the hoosegow. Orlando doesn't. No one does.

  Alan Tanner : Daisy does.

• Alice Merritt : That sounds grand, Alan. I think you've got that outline licked!

• Pat Quinn : I love him. I don't care how many times he's been married. They didn't understand him. He need me.

  McBride : Why you sweet little idiot.

  [kiss] 

  Pat Quinn : This is as bad as a high school dance.

  Alice Merritt : [enters]  Hello.

  McBride : Oh, hello. How's the play coming?

  Alice Merritt : Oh, fine thinks. Are you making out all right?

• Alice Merritt : You've made love to her, haven't you? Haven't you?

  Alan Tanner : Oh, she's just a baby. I can't help it if she gets a little crushed. That's nothing.

  Alice Merritt : All right, Casanova.

• Alice Merritt : You can share the room with her.

  Pat Quinn : What? You - you expect me to sleep in the same bed with that woman?

  Alice Merritt : Mmm-hmm. It's been done before.

• Alice Merritt : Well, little girls fall in love with interesting old men and little girls get hurt. But, they get over it. Anyway, that's the theory.

  Alan Tanner : Oh, we're going to have a theory about this?

  Alice Merritt : Yes! How old was I when I fell in love with you? Nineteen. And you see, I got over it.

• Alice Merritt : I'm sorry. Am I interrupting something?

  Alan Tanner : Don't be ridiculous!

  Alice Merritt : Maybe if she sat on your lap, that'd be an inspiration.

• Alice Merritt : You vain monkey, telling him you didn't need my help.

• Alice Merritt : We have two Third Acts.

  Arthur Layton : I don't want two Third Acts! I've already had three Third Acts. So, I want one Third Act - good.

• Alice Merritt : You selfish oaf, after I sat up all night slaving for you.
