John G. Rarick:
[Overheard from corridor] If I give you this money, what assurance have I that you'll keep your word?

Jennifer Rarick:
[Overheard from corridor] You give me one hundred thousand now, and the rest when I get the divorce. I'll take *your* word, Mr. Rarick.

John G. Rarick:
I've dealt with a lot of merchandise - this is the first time I've bought a husband.

Jennifer Rarick:
And it's the first time I've ever sold one.

[Jennifer enters and grabs the check]

Jennifer Rarick:
No you don't. You're not selling any husband to me!

Muriel Preston:
You want Berry, don't you?

Jennifer Rarick:
Not this way, no! I've tried it once, but I'm not trying to buy Berry again. He's not for sale.

Muriel Preston:
Oh... well I won't divorce him.

Jennifer Rarick:
You think I'm afraid of a scandal... Well I'm not!

John G. Rarick:
Jennifer!

Jennifer Rarick:
[to her father] I love Berry. He's all that matters to me...

Jennifer Rarick:
[Turns back to Muriel]... And you can't make me lose him again.

Muriel Preston:
Lose him [chuckles] . That's a little far fetched, isn't it? He's hardly yours to lose.

Jennifer Rarick:
Isn't he. He loves me. You *know* he loves me. No matter what you think, he's been fair to you. I've told Berry that I wouldn't see him again until you talked things fairly and gave him up. But I won't bother to be fair any longer.

Muriel Preston:
You're very foolish, my dear. Goodbye, Mr. Rarick. Perhaps you can make Jennifer realize that the only permanent hold on a man like Berry is a wedding ring.

Jennifer Rarick:
Is it? That's how well you know Berry!

Muriel Preston:
I know men, my dear, and Berry is no different from the rest.
