Nancy Blake: You're so resourceful, darling, I ought to go to you for plots.
Sylvia Fowler: You ought to go to someone.
Crystal Allen: He almost stood me up for his wife.
Maggie: You can't trust none of 'em no further than I can kick this lemon pie.
Sylvia Fowler: What are you, pet?
Nancy Blake: What nature abhors. I am an old maid, a frozen asset.
Peggy Day: I wish I could make a little money writing the way you do.
Nancy Blake: If you wrote the way I do, that's just what you'd make.
Mrs. Moorehead: Well, cheer up, Mary; living alone has its compensations. Heaven knows it's marvelous being able to spread out in bed like a swastika.
Countess DeLave: Get me a bromide - and put some gin in it.
Crystal Allen: Thanks for the tip. But when anything I wear doesn't please Stephen, I take it off.
Sylvia Fowler: Oh, you remember the awful things they said about what's-her-name before she jumped out the window? There. You see? I can't even remember her name so who cares?
Crystal Allen: There's a name for you ladies, but it isn't used in high society, outside of a kennel.
Crystal Allen: If you throw a lambchop into a hot oven, what's gonna keep it from gettin' done?
Sylvia Fowler: You simply must see my hairdresser, I DETEST whoever does yours.
Sylvia Fowler: Mary Haines, don't you have any pride?
Mary Haines: No pride at all. That's a luxury a woman in love can't afford.
Maggie: The first man who can explain how he can be in love with his wife - and another woman - is gonna win that prize they're always giving out in Sweden.
Miriam Aarons: A woman's compromised the day she's born.
Mary Haines: I've had two years to grow claws mother. Jungle red.
Crystal Allen: I'm having him dine at my place. It's about time he found out I was a home girl.
Pat: A home girl? Get her? Why don't you borrow the quintuplets for the evening?
Crystal Allen: Because I'm all the baby he wants, pet.
Miriam Aarons: You should have licked that girl where she licked you; in his arms. It's where you win in the first round and if I know men, it's still Custer's Last Stand.
Edith Potter: When do you go to Africa to shoot, dear?
Nancy Blake: As soon as my book is out.
Sylvia Fowler: I don't blame you. I'd rather face a tiger any day than the sort of things the critics said about your last book.
Peggy Day: He beats you. Lucy, how terrible.
Lucy: Ain't it. When you think of the lot of women on this ranch who need a beatin' more than I do.
Sylvia Fowler: Is that anyway to talk to me after all I've done for you?
Crystal Allen: Done what?
Sylvia Fowler: You didn't know a soul when you married Steven. After all, it wasn't easy to put you over.
Crystal Allen: And who says you put me over.
Sylvia Fowler: I've gotten you into some of our very best homes.
Crystal Allen: Yes, with some of their very best insults.
Miriam Aarons: Any ladle's sweet that dishes out some gravy.
Mary Haines: I'll be doing the cooking so you know what he'll get.
Countess DeLave: Oh, l'amour, l'amour, how it can let you down.
Miriam Aarons: You're passing up a swell chance, honey. Where I spit no grass grows ever.
Lucy: Them big, strong, red-headed men... they're fierce!
Crystal Allen: Say, listen, I've worked too hard to land this meal ticket to make any false moves now.
Sylvia Fowler: Why you sly little fox, you.
Countess DeLave: Oh, poor creatures. They've lost their equilibrium because they've lost their faith in love. Oh l'amour, l'amour.
Maggie: Now don't that sound just like a husband?
Edith Potter: Oh, she can't help it. It's just her tough luck that she wasn't born deaf and dumb.
Mrs. Moorehead: Besides, there's nothing like a good dose of being left alone to make a man appreciate his wife.
Miriam Aarons: Listen, sister, when are you going to get wise to yourself?
Sylvia Fowler: Did you get her innuendo?
Mrs. Moorehead: I'm an old woman, my dear. I know my sex.
Corset model: Our new one-piece lace foundation garment. Zips up the back and no bone.
Crystal Allen: You noble wives and mothers bore the brains out of me. And I bet you bore your husbands, too.
Mary Haines: You are a hard one.
Crystal Allen: I can be soft on the right occasion.
Sylvia Fowler: Our friend, Mrs. Stephen Haines, simply dotes on this... Her husband picked it out for her.... Perhaps you waited on him?
Crystal Allen: I'm afraid I don't remember. You see, there are so many men who come in here.
Sylvia Fowler: Awfully good looking... I'm sure you wouldn't overlook him.
Crystal Allen: I'm sorry, but when one's mind is on one's own business...
Sylvia Fowler: Of course... And as you say, you have so many men.
