- Billy MacDonald: On report? I want her fired!
- Mrs. MacDonald: That's enough, Billy.
- Billy MacDonald: What?
- Mrs. MacDonald: You heard me.
- Billy MacDonald: Are you talking to me?
- Mrs. MacDonald: Yes, I am, William Fenimore McDonald!
- Billy MacDonald: Wow! She hasn't called me that in 6 years!
- Mrs. MacDonald: Speaking as your mother, we need to make some changes around here. You, me, your dressing room now!
- Billy MacDonald: But Mommy!
- Mrs. MacDonald: MOVE IT, BUSTER!
- Mrs. MacDonald: Billy, I have some pictures for you to sign.
- Billy MacDonald: For god's sakes, mother! Forget how to use the rubber stamp? Stop standing around here and get me something to drink. I'm thirsty.
- Mrs. MacDonald: Right away, dear!
- Rosalind 'Roz' Russell: Why did you talk to her like that?
- Billy MacDonald: Like what?
- Rosalind 'Roz' Russell: Like a servant. She's your mother, you know.
- Billy MacDonald: She likes to run around. And besides, it's not like she doesn't get paid for it.
