- Connie Scott: This place is awfully expensive.
- Jim Scott: Oh, well, you only live once.
- Connie Scott: At these prices, you couldn't afford to live more than once.
- Jim Scott: Oh, now you're arguing just like a woman.
- Connie Scott: I never claimed to be anything else.
- Connie Scott: Tell me, Miss Stevens, what did you do before the war?
- Roberta 'Bobbie' Stevens: The same thing I'm doing now: modeling.

- Roberta 'Bobbie' Stevens: Your wife has a great sense of humor.
- Jim Scott: Yes.
- Connie Scott: Your humorous wife needs another drink.
- Connie Scott: Did you enjoy the opera, Mr. Patterson?
- Charles Kenneth 'Charley' Patterson: I know Eadie did. That's why I took her.
- Connie Scott: Oh, you aren't a fan yourself?
- Charles Kenneth 'Charley' Patterson: Well, I'm at a peculiar disadvantage at the opera. I understand every word they're singing.
- George Thompson: I wish I could be going on a honeymoon when I'm his age.
- Florence: Why wait that long?
- Jim Scott: How did I ever get into this rat race anyway? There I was, a happy guy, money in the bank, planning a second honeymoon. Now look at me: a hounded creature facing bankruptcy. And for what? To support a broken-down house in its old age.
- Connie Scott: Well, you make it sounds as though I deliberately set out to ruin you.
- Jim Scott: Trouble is you didn't deliberate enough.
- Mrs. Thompson: I don't know what you could be thinking of, Eadie, at your age.
- Charles Kenneth 'Charley' Patterson: It's only after 40 that two people can offer each other the devotion of a lifetime and mean it.
- Jim Scott: McNabs just bought a house of their own. Suckers.
- Charles Kenneth 'Charley' Patterson: [the McNabs approach] Ah, Mrs. McNab, we were just saying how we hate to see you leave.
