Peggy Evans aka Carol Burden : We have a special on jumbo banana splits today. They're *delicious*!
Banana Split Customer : Ohh, I'm on a diet!
Peggy Evans aka Carol Burden : Oh, that's wrong, ma'am. You should *never* diet.
Banana Split Customer : No?
Peggy Evans aka Carol Burden : No. You should force yourself to eat. More and more, all the time. Then you'll get to hate eating. And then you'll get thin without any trouble at all!
Banana Split Customer : Why, I never thought of it that way!
Peggy Evans aka Carol Burden : Good! One "jumbo" coming up!

Cornelius Burden : Why, do you think I'm insane? Let you go away alone with a man who you feel is not your husband?
Peggy Evans aka Carol Burden : But don't you see? If I am alone with him, why, I can find out everything. I can trap him. Because he won't be suspecting anything. But it would be different if you were along, because he'd be on his guard.
Cornelius Burden : But Carol, if I were to let you go, and something happened to you, why, why... I'd kill myself.

Peggy Evans aka Carol Burden : Oh, that's wonderful!
Bob Stuart : But... we haven't any money!

Bob Stuart : Just one more thing: you're Carole Burden, all right. You're not Peggy Evans.
Peggy Evans aka Carol Burden : How do you know?
Bob Stuart : Because Peggy Evans was a whining little coward afraid to face life. She was hysterical and selfish. You are the finest, the bravest girl there ever was. You were willing to accept me - a complete stranger - as your husband. You left your home, and your father, to come with me because you thought it was right. You're the most wonderful girl I ever knew.
Bob Stuart : That's all.
[turns and leaves]

Bob Stuart : Maybe we'd better just call each other Mister and Missus.
Peggy Evans aka Carol Burden : Maybe talking at all is... just a waste of time.
