Mrs. Prentiss
- Mrs. Prentiss: Gentlemen, the show is off. I can't afford it!
- Nicolai Nicoleff: [histrionically] Madam, with those few words, you have broken my heart.
- Schultz: I don't feel so good myself.
- Mrs. Prentiss: You want what?
- Ann Prentiss: Some decent clothes. Well, look at me. Is it any wonder that nobody ever talks to me or notices me?
- Mrs. Prentiss: Well, who do you want to notice you?
- Ann Prentiss: Men and boys. I want to have some fun.
- Humbolt Prentiss: You know that I'm not good at fractions.
- Mrs. Prentiss: No, but, I notice you're very good at figures.
- Humbolt Prentiss: Yes, you might say that I'm a specialist.
- Ann Prentiss: The first thing I'm going to do is get some decent clothes. I'm sick and tired of looking like Little Orphan Annie.
- Mrs. Prentiss: What's the matter with your clothes? Your dresses are always trim and neat.
- Ann Prentiss: Yes, like burlap bags.
- Mrs. Prentiss: Mosley, I must speak to you. I want you to keep the total receipts, $7,500. I know I can trust you, Mosley.
- T. Mosley Thorpe: I'm really touched by this confidence.
- Mrs. Prentiss: I'm glad you're touched.
- Mrs. Prentiss: Sold out! $7,500! More money than I've ever taken in before. I do hope the grounds are well-policed, because I'm a little uneasy carrying so much money around with me.
- Betty Hawes: Yeah? Well, let me hold it for you. Now, no thief would never suspect poor little me of all that cash.
- Louis Lamson: Well, let me put it in the hotel safe.
- Schultz: A safe to a burglar is like a bottle to a corkscrew. Let me hide the cash. I got on a money belt. I'll put it right here, next to my heart.
- Mrs. Prentiss: I'll have you run out of the hotel. I'll have you run out of the state. You male - gold digger!
- Mrs. Prentiss: Simply sweep her off her feet!
- T. Mosley Thorpe: Well, don't you think that's a trifle undignified?
- Mrs. Prentiss: Stop quibbling, Mosley.
- Mrs. Prentiss: You contemptible coward. Engaged to my daughter and lollygagging around with a public stenographer.
- T. Mosley Thorpe: Can I be blamed because I can't typewrite - and must dictate?
- Mrs. Prentiss: Oh! So you were dictating, were you?
- T. Mosley Thorpe: Yes, I was dictating.
- Mrs. Prentiss: I know everything that's going on around here.
- T. Mosley Thorpe: I hope you're not provoked at me.
- Mrs. Prentiss: No, you've been merely weak and vacillating.
- Mrs. Prentiss: I have a real man in the family. I shall have Humbolt give you a good thrashing.
- T. Mosley Thorpe: Don't forget I used to be pretty good with the gloves myself. See?
- Mrs. Prentiss: I shall forbid Humbolt to use gloves when he thrashes you.
- Nicoleff: This has been the most pleasant engagement of my career. May I present to you a tiny token of my esteem?
- Mrs. Prentiss: Well, what is it?
- Nicoleff: A priceless solid silver fruit dish, given to me by the Grand Duke Alexis, after seeing my production of "Midsummer Night's Dream" with an all-Eskimo cast.
