Quotes 

• Bertha Dorset : I wish the men would always stay away. It's really much nicer without them. Oh, you don't count, George. One never talks to one's husband.

  Judy Trenor : But, wives never like their husbands talking to other women.

  Bertha Dorset : Only if the women in question are slightly too eligible - or divorced.

  George Dorset : Wives may do as they wish. Husbands are expected to be like money - influential, but silent.

  Augustus 'Gus' Trenor : If divorcees were more acceptable, I might be tempted.

  Judy Trenor : Gus!

• Lily Bart : What more do you have to say to me?

  Augustus 'Gus' Trenor : Go home.

• Lily Bart : How dare you compromise me in this way!

  Augustus 'Gus' Trenor : Don't take that high tone with me. I've been patient enough. After all, the man who pays for the dinner is generally allowed a seat at the table.

  Lily Bart : I don't know what you mean.
