Quotes 

• Isabel Boyd : I've heard of you, of course; but, I haven't had the pleasure of hearing you play.

  Henry Orient : Well, since I'm not - Liberace, I would be surprised if you had.

• Isabel Boyd : Are you playing Chinese?

• Isabel Boyd : I stopped at the Stork Club for a nightcap with some friends.

• Isabel Boyd : Just one thing. In case you and Miss Gilbert are planning any further adventures, I had a talk with your Mr. Orient this afternoon. And if you ever go anywhere near him again, I've asked him to let me know - instead of calling the police, as he had intended.

  Frank Boyd : Call the police for what?

  Isabel Boyd : Well he's got a right to protect himself from that sort of harrassment.

  Frank Boyd : And he was really going to call the cops?

  Isabel Boyd : Indeed he was.

  Frank Boyd : He sounds nuttier than the girls.

  Isabel Boyd : All right, what would you do?

  Frank Boyd : [sarcastically]  Well if I couldn't buy them off with sodas, I suppose I'd feel compelled to pack a rod.

• Henry Orient : I have a very good ear for voices. Nine times out of ten it tells me, well, almost everything. After hearing yours, for example, even over the telephone, I could have entered a room - that was full of women and I could have walked directly up to you.

  Isabel Boyd : That is remarkable.

  Henry Orient : But I would have been wrong.

  Isabel Boyd : Oh, why?

  Henry Orient : Because I would have walked up to a dark woman. Dark and sultry, like one of - like one of Sargent's Edwardian beauties. And that - is what puzzles me.

  Isabel Boyd : Oh, would you mind if we talked about my daughter first?

  Henry Orient : You see, you are not by Sargent. Oh, no, no, no. You are by Renoir. Oh, yes. Definitement Renoir. Have you ever seen his 'Girl in April' in the Frick?

  Isabel Boyd : I'm sorry. I...

  Henry Orient : Beautiful. All rose and gold. Golden hair, golden sunshine. A golden girl smiling in a rose garden. You're a nymph with a sultry voice.

  Isabel Boyd : You know, if you're not in a hurry, I'd love to have a cup of coffee.
