John Givings:
You a lawyer, Frank?

Frank Wheeler:
No, I'm not.

John Givings:
I could use a lawyer...

Mr. Howard Givings:
John, let's not get started again about the lawyer.

John Givings:
Pop, couldn't you just sit there and eat your wonderful egg salad, and quit horning in? [Returns his attention to Frank] See, I've got a good many questions to ask and I'm willing to pay for the answers... Now, I don't need to be told that a man who goes after his mother with a coffee table is putting himself in a weak position, legally; that's obvious.

Mrs. Helen Givings:
John, come and have a look out this fabulous picture window. [She walks to the window]

John Givings:
If he hits her with it and kills her, that's a criminal case...

Mrs. Helen Givings:
Oh, look, the sun's coming out!

John Givings:
If all he does is break the coffee table and give her a certain amount of aggravation and she decides to go to court over it, that's a civil case...

Mrs. Helen Givings:
Maybe we'll see a rainbow! John, come have a look...

John Givings:
Ma, how about doing everybody a favor? How about shutting up?
