Quotes 

  • Stella : [to the camera]  Wesley is their second child. If he had been the first, there never would have been a second! Oh... You're probably wondering who I am. Well, don't be so nosy!

  • Mother Winfield : George, the children have been spoiling me. Marjorie has been fussing with my hair all afternoon, keeping me out of the kitchen, and Wesley insisted on doing the marketing and polishing the silver. I've been treated as though I were a queen.

    Father Winfield : You are a queen! And that's straight from the king.

    Stella : [sourly; she believes George is having an affair]  Henry the Eighth!

  • Stella : There's no fool like an old fool, especially an old fool who isn't too old to act like a young fool again.

  • Stella : [Holding Marjorie's dress]  Now c'mon. You're supposed to be the belle of the ball tonite.

    Marjorie Winfield : Some belle. I don't even have an escort.

    Stella : Ah, ah, ah. Now, Miss Marjorie, you have to go. You're in the play tonight. Now c'mon. Get in your dress.

    Marjorie Winfield : Alright, but my heart's not in it.

    Stella : Well, as long as you get the rest of you in it, you won't have to worry about escorts.

  • [first lines] 

    Stella : Hello, Mr. Winfield.

    Father Winfield : Good afternoon.

    Stella : [to the camera]  That's Mr. Winfield. Vice President of our first National Bank, Chairman of the Civic Betterment League, and twice winner of the Elks picnic potato sack race.

  • Stella : [about Bill returning home]  Well, we'll be having a man around the house again!

    [Mr. Sherman gives Stella a dirty look] 

    Stella : A young man.
