- Douglas Hall: Vicky, never marry a woman whose had any connection with the stage no matter how much you love her.
- Douglas Hall: I love Helen. Why can't she be like other wives and be content to stay home? You know, sit or... or sew, or what other wives do. I want a wife who is a wife, not a public exhibition.
- Douglas Hall: We understand each other now, don't we, dear?
- Helen Hall: Yes. Love conquers all I suppose.
- Victor Le Maire: Then there is no further question about the singing?
- Douglas Hall: None whatever. We're never going to mention it again. The way I feel about it is just because Helen was in a little act that played a few weeks...
- Helen Hall: 38 straight weeks, my sweetheart...
- Douglas Hall: Eight or nine years ago...
- Helen Hall: Five years ago, my precious. Exactly five...
- Douglas Hall: Oh, it was more than that, darling...
- Helen Hall: Five, my wonder man. We've been married four and it was the year before that.
- Helen Hall: It's no wonder wives get restless and lonely. Love isn't everything, you should know that. Wives like to be looked at once in a while and thought of. Yes, even admired. But husbands won't do it and other men musn't.
- Mrs. Morris: [to Helen] In the eternal warfare between male and female, I flatter myself that, right or wrong, I've always been a hundred percent woman. Get packing!
- Hotel Clerk: Madame says she will see you in exactly one hour, sir.
- Victor Le Maire: In an hour?
- Hotel Clerk: Yes, sir.
- Victor Le Maire: Did you tell her I had orchids?
- Hotel Clerk: Yes, sir.
- Victor Le Maire: And she was unmoved by orchids?
- Hotel Clerk: Apparently, sir.
- Victor Le Maire: Oh, this woman is going to be very difficult.
- Helen Hall: What worries me is I never thought of Doug as a... as a...
- Mrs. Morris: I believe the technical term is "chaser".
- Helen Hall: You know, Morris, there isn't a woman in the world who wouldn't give all she had to be in my shoes tonight. To be able to catch your own husband without his knowing it.
- Mrs. Morris: I could hae used some of that once or twice myself.
- Helen Hall: To see how he act, how he thinks, what he does with another woman.
- Mrs. Morris: There's no doubt about it, this is your night!
- Mrs. Morris: Well, I've seen some queer things in my time, but this is my first view of a two-sided triangle.
- Helen Hall: [Disguised as Raquel with a French accent] Tell me, what eez she like, zees wife of yours?
- Douglas Hall: Uh, Helen is a very good sport.
- Helen Hall: Oh, what a terrible thing to say about any woman... a good sport. How cruel an American husband can be when he do not love hees wife.
- Douglas Hall: I'm sorry.
- Helen Hall: [Probing] You don't love her, do you? Do you?
- Douglas Hall: You know, you're giving me a very strange feeling.
- Helen Hall: I mean to.
- Douglas Hall: The feeling is that maybe you shouldn't have come here.
- Helen Hall: Oh, because I make you theenk of her, yes?
- Douglas Hall: Yes.
- Helen Hall: [Softly to herself] Good.
- Douglas Hall: Helen, you don't suppose for one minute that I didn't know it was you all the time.
- Helen Hall: Oh, you liar.
- Mrs. Morris: [after Helen, impersonating Raquel, introduces her as her maid, Fifi] Fifi! Sounds like a lap dog.
- Douglas Hall: I wouldn't have your mind for anything on earth. It is shallow. It is loathsome.
- Victor Le Maire: I know, Doug. Forgive me.
- Helen Hall: Molly, I'm a fool.
- Mrs. Morris: Afraid he will, or afraid he won't?
- Helen Hall: Oh, I don't know.
- Douglas Hall: Vickie, Helen's one of the finest girls in the world. Do you understand that?
- Victor Le Maire: Of course, Doug, but...
- Douglas Hall: But there's two sides to every question. I love her. I love her very much. But, but... do I love her enough? That's the question, Vickie. Do I love her enough?
- Victor Le Maire: Really, Doug. I oughta just go.
- Douglas Hall: It's a big step. A mighty big step. Bermuda! Who wants to see Bermuda? Why, I can see Bermuda anytime I want. I don't have to... you see what I mean, Vickie?
- Victor Le Maire: I guess so, Doug. What are you talking about?
- Douglas Hall: I guess you're right after all. Thanks, Vickie. Thanks a thousand times.
