Quotes 

• Jan Curtis : Mom said she'd only be a minute.

  Paul Curtis : Yeah, well that means ten.

• Ellie Curtis : Boy, Mrs. Aylwood sure is creepy.

  Paul Curtis : How comforting to know we're the "right sort of people."

  Ellie Curtis : I've seen the iciest of old ladies melted by your charm.

  Mrs. Thayer : I think it was your daughter who did the trick.

  Ellie Curtis : Me?

  Mrs. Thayer : No, dear, not you.

  [to Jan] 

  Mrs. Thayer : She had a daughter about your age.

  Jan Curtis : Had?

  Mrs. Thayer : Mm, lost. Many years ago. Perhaps you reminded Mrs. Aylwood of her.

• Paul Curtis : You know how old mirrors are. I never made a move yet without something getting broken.

  Ellie Curtis : Hey, that's seven years' bad luck!

  Paul Curtis : Nonsense. I broke a mirror the day I met your mother.

  Helen Curtis : I'm not sure that makes your point, darling.
