- Riette Van Orman: Then why did you bother to come here at all?
- Jessica Drummond: Because I was still coward enough to want to save my reputation.
- Riette Van Orman: How quaint!
- Jessica Drummond: How neat you are, Frank!
- Frank Everett: That's what comes of being a bachelor all your life.
- Jessica Drummond: You know, it's amazing how I can learn to like martinis. It's an acquired taste like anchovies.
- Maj. Scott Landis: Uh-huh.
- Mrs. Mary Kimball: [to Jess] The world allows considerable liberty to wives it has never allowed to widows. I notice, for instance, you're no longer wearing black.
- Maj. Scott Landis: Can we start all over again from the beginning?
- Mrs. Mary Kimball: No, we cannot. I can see that you're a thorough-going scalawag, young man!
- Maj. Scott Landis: I'm delighted to hear you say so, madam.
- Mrs. Mary Kimball: And kindly stop calling me madam!
