Quotes 

• Ellen Meredith : Why is it that if a woman wants to accomplish something, even her own parents consider her aggressive, unhappy or neurotic?

  Roger Meredith : Because it's usually true.

• Roger Meredith : It's amazing, isn't it. Imagine going on half-salary for the privilege of finding out that one was quite mediocre, really, when one could stay on full salary and maintain illusions of brilliance.

• Roger Meredith : It's funny, isn't it. A man can lose an arm and people pity you. Lose a child and they cry for him. If he should lose himself, it passes as quietly as a marshmallow on a cup of hot cocoa.

• Roger Meredith : I always thought there was time - lots of time. But, there isn't, is there? Fifty-two years old and no scratch on the world, just, chalk marks on a blackboard.

• Libby Meredith : Roger, do I know you too well - or not at all?

  Roger Meredith : We're in a time of change, Lib. Did either one of us know each other?

• Roger Meredith : Damnit, Libby, what do you think I'm trying to write? A damn bestseller? What do you want? Sex and the Supreme Court?

• Roger Meredith : Why couldn't Mark make it or last night?

  Ellen Meredith : You can't sell insurance in the daytime, father. Not when you're third from the bottom. It's all after seven.

• Will Cade : Roger, how 'bout you and me goin' frog huntin'?

  Roger Meredith : Frog hunting?

  Will Cade : Yea, I got gun in the jeep and I know this breeding pond. There's some big devils! As soon as it gets dark, they'll be out.

  Libby Meredith : Let us all go!

  Will Cade : Well, it's pretty damp out there in the swamp. But, I got a jug of shine that'll help to keep us warm.

• Roger Meredith : We'll go dancing! I'm pretty good, remember? The Nile Casino, The Meadowbrook, The Astor Roof. Of course, I might not be tuned into all the new groovy steps, but, our age.

  Libby Meredith : What's wrong with our age?

• Libby Meredith : Do you think there's a lot of woman still left in me?

  Roger Meredith : Who ever said there wasn't?

• Libby Meredith : It is clumsy and pedantic.

  Roger Meredith : Pedantic?

  Libby Meredith : Yes, pedantic.

  Roger Meredith : Pedantic.
