- Gwen Verdon: When you get home, let's have a dinner! Just you and Neil, and me and Ron, and Bobby and whatever-her-name-is-this-week.

- Gwen Verdon: [playfully] Well, okay, fine! You're uninvited.
- Joan Simon: It's lousy enough I have to coddle Neil. Please don't make me coddle you as well.
- [Gwen is stunned]
- Joan Simon: I'm not a child, Gwen. I know I'm never coming home.
