Quotes
-
William Linn : Pete, why'd you do it? You're the best foreman I ever had. You speak a couple of languages...
Count Peter Van Lornthing : Five.
William Linn : Yeah, and you're a whiz at figures and cattle and farming...
Count Peter Van Lornthing : And architecture and wine making...
William Linn : All right! Why'd you do it then?
Count Peter Van Lornthing : It's my Conchita. I needed the money to marry her.

Count Peter Van Lornthing : A Count Van Lornthing does not enter a bargain empty-handed.
William Linn : Oh, I see. Without money, you're no bargain.
Count Peter Van Lornthing : Oh, no. Conchita loves me - and I can make her father even more rich. He'll be able to sit under the grape arbor with his grandsons on his knees and grow richer... but I didn't want to come as a begger. It was a matter of principle.
William Linn : Well, you were kind of careless about *principle* when it came to my money.
Count Peter Van Lornthing : Well, I couldn't wait any longer. A rose left too long on a bush will go to seed.
