• Blake Richards : You better be sure, Cathy. Real sure. It's a long step down from a Cabot liner to an Acme tug.

  Cathy Cabot : I'll float down.

• Cathy Cabot : I'll see about that! I'm going up there and I'm...

  Blake Richards : And do what? Stamp your pretty little foot?

• Cathy Cabot : Is that how you're taking me out to dinner?

  Blake Richards : Is it 8:00 already?

  Cathy Cabot : If I'd known we were going to a beatnik joint for coffee and word-jazz, I'd have worn my black tights.

• Blake Richards : Why don't you go on home and get a bite and I'll call you?

  Cathy Cabot : Looks like coffee and word-jazz after all, huh?

  Blake Richards : Could be. But skip the black tights.

  Cathy Cabot : You'll be sorry.

• Blake Richards : How would you feel about the man who wrecked your father and left him sucking exhaust fumes in a locked garage?

• Blake Richards : Look, it's all there in that file. The whole blueprint for squeezing my father out of the shipping business, step-by-step, nice and legal and dirty.

• Blake Richards : Come on home, and I'll get cleaned up and then I'll take you out for a wedding breakfast, champagne and all.

  Cathy Cabot : Breakfast? We're not married yet.

  Blake Richards : Now, look, honey, if you're gonna stand on ceremony, then the whole deal's off.
