Bart Hunter
- Bart Hunter: As soon as Molly is found - and I'm sure she will be - I suggest you vacate these rooms as swiftly as possible.
- Helen Jorgenson: [incredulously] Don't tell me that you're on their side!
- Bart Hunter: Let's merely say that I'm not on yours.
- Bart Hunter: Do you and your husband often swim in the raw, Mrs. Jorgenson?
- Helen Jorgenson: Good heavens, no!
- Bart Hunter: Oh, she hasn't lived, has she, Ken? Why, there's absolutely nothing like galloping bare-bottomed into the sea!
- Sylvia Hunter: He gave me a hope I thought was gone.
- Bart Hunter: [intoxicated] A hope for what?
- Sylvia Hunter: Happiness.
- Bart Hunter: [Intoxicated] This'll be painful for you, but you might as well face the truth... the RAW truth. Take... take a good look at your parents, hmm? We've got no more secrets to hide. All the cats are out of the bag: all the scrawling, mangy, obscene, horrible cats of your inheritance. You're the son of a drunkard... and a harlot.
- Johnny Hunter: You're wrong about mother, dad.
- Bart Hunter: Gone to her side, have ya'?
- Johnny Hunter: I'm not taking sides. I just want to marry Molly.
- Bart Hunter: [pauses, then smirks] Oh, Johnny, stop being a silly sentimentalist. It's stupid! Molly is merely a succulent little wench!
- Johnny Hunter: She's not a wench! She's everything I've ever dreamed of in a girl.
- Bart Hunter: Oh, don't make me laugh! They're all alike in the dark!
- Johnny Hunter: [Taken aback] You can't make her cheap! You can't do it! In spite of your damned supercilious, intelligent mind. And with or without your consent, we're getting married!
- Bart Hunter: This may sound strange coming from an.. an inebriate... but I have observed that there is a moral law at work in the world.
- Bart Hunter: ... and that sinners pay... in one way or the other.
- Bart Hunter: [addressing Molly and Johnny] Well... I profoundly hope you do not get married. But if you do, well... maybe life's only a dice game after all.
- Bart Hunter: And if it is, our family's certainly due for a winner.
- Bart Hunter: Sir, do I have permission to take Molly on a sailing picnic around the island?
- Helen Jorgenson: Just the two of you?
- Molly Jorgenson: The boat only holds two, mother.
- Helen Jorgenson: In my day it was simply not proper to take off all day in aboat alone without a chaperone.
- Johnny Hunter: Now, Helen, it's no longer YOUR day it's THEIR day. Permissioin granted.
