Mary Carlisle: Phyllis Carrington

Quotes 

• Hopkins : The agency has promised to send a new maid this afternoon, miss. But they know that I am particular.

  Phyllis Carrington : Well if they find one to suit you, send her up.

• Julie : [to Lord Westover]  But you don't think of them - only yourself. You're the most thoughtless, inconsiderate, selfish, egoistical party I have ever seen.

  Phyllis Carrington : The word is egotistical.

• Lady Westover : Fact is, I heard you might be sailing on the Queen Mary tomorrow.

  Phyllis Carrington : Where did you hear that?

  Lady Westover : Uhm, secrets are very hard to keep, particularly from those most concerned.

  Phyllis Carrington : Concerned?

  Lady Westover : Oh, perhaps I should say, most interested.

  Phyllis Carrington : Darling, I'm flattered.

• Julie : Oh, but mademoiselle.

  Phyllis Carrington : Well?

  Julie : Suppose she has a gun? In paree, such a situation leads always to a gun.

  Phyllis Carrington : Nonsense, Julie. Bring us our tea as soon as you can manage it.

  Julie : Oh, it's ready, but...

  Phyllis Carrington : In America, these duels are fought over a tea table.

• Lady Westover : Of course, I realize you didn't know it, but my husband is sailing on the Queen Mary tomorrow too. Coincidence, isn't it?

  Phyllis Carrington : Disconcerting.

  Julie : [Setting the tea tray down]  Tea?

  Lady Westover : Oh, how nice. I thought perhaps you might keep an eye on him for me.

  Phyllis Carrington : Really?

  Lady Westover : You know, he's always making violent love to some poor, pretty creature. Heh. Just a nuisance to me.

  Phyllis Carrington : Uhm, hmm, hmm, it must be.

  Lady Westover : Although, of course, he's perfectly sincere at the time, he recovers very quickly. The little fools don't know that.

  Phyllis Carrington : [Burns her finger on her cigarette]  Ouch, oooh.

  Lady Westover : Darling, you're not burned badly?

  Phyllis Carrington : No.

  Lady Westover : Just singed a little.
