- Sheila Cabot: Oh don't leave me David, please don't go away!
- Dr. David Rivera: I've got to go!
- Sheila Cabot: But why Darling, why? I don't know what I'll do if you go!
- Dr. David Rivera: I'm - I'm afraid of what I'll do if I stay!
- Matthew S. Cabot: I want a full report on why she sailed 40 minutes late. If it was the dock force, not a man stays on our hiring list. Did you get that?
- Howard Mason: Yep. First thing in the morning.
- Matthew S. Cabot: First thing this afternoon. Forget your golf game just once.
- Matthew S. Cabot: The magic needle. The miracle of medicine. Kills the pain, keeps a man alive for years. Well, half alive, anyway. Too bad they can't find something for your condition. That would really be a miracle, wouldn't it, Sheila? A vitamin shot for love deficiency.
- Matthew S. Cabot: I'm getting to be as bad as those hop-heads on the waterfront. Can't go through the day without a fix. What's so funny? I don't like having to depend on anything or anybody!
- Matthew S. Cabot: Listen, you're my wife! You don't go anywhere alone!
- Sheila Cabot: Matt, you're hurting me.
- Matthew S. Cabot: Just learn to take it, like I did.
- Sheila Cabot: This was supposed to bring us together. Now it's only keeping us apart. Ironic, isn't it?
- Sheila Cabot: Please, Howard! Please, I'm just not up to it.
- Howard Mason: Is it really as bad as all that? Prostrated with grief?
- Blake Richards: You better be sure, Cathy. Real sure. It's a long step down from a Cabot liner to an Acme tug.
- Cathy Cabot: I'll float down.
- Cathy Cabot: I'll see about that! I'm going up there and I'm...
- Blake Richards: And do what? Stamp your pretty little foot?
- Cobb: I was wondering if you could let me have an advance on my salary.
- Sheila Cabot: But I've already paid you several months ahead.
- Cobb: So you have. You've been most generous, ma'am. But, if you could see your way clear to letting me have my salary for - let's see now - that would bring us to next March, wouldn't it?
- Sheila Cabot: What do you want it for, Cobb?
- Cobb: Oh, horses, women, champagne. Don't worry, ma'am, I won't be wasting it.
- Tawny: Peter, lunch is ready.
- Peter Cabot: Lunch already?
- Tawny: Come along, now.
- Cobb: Better do what the heavenly princess says.
- Cathy Cabot: Did you find a copy of the agreement?
- Miss Lee: No. Mr. Mason destroyed it and the carbons.
- Cathy Cabot: Is that how you're taking me out to dinner?
- Blake Richards: Is it 8:00 already?
- Cathy Cabot: If I'd known we were going to a beatnik joint for coffee and word-jazz, I'd have worn my black tights.
- Blake Richards: Why don't you go on home and get a bite and I'll call you?
- Cathy Cabot: Looks like coffee and word-jazz after all, huh?
- Blake Richards: Could be. But skip the black tights.
- Cathy Cabot: You'll be sorry.
- Peter Cabot: Say, do you know Peter Gunn?
- Detective Lieutenant: I'm afraid not, sonny.
- Peter Cabot: Some detective, doesn't know Peter Gunn.
- Blake Richards: How would you feel about the man who wrecked your father and left him sucking exhaust fumes in a locked garage?
- Blake Richards: Look, it's all there in that file. The whole blueprint for squeezing my father out of the shipping business, step-by-step, nice and legal and dirty.
- Blake Richards: Come on home, and I'll get cleaned up and then I'll take you out for a wedding breakfast, champagne and all.
- Cathy Cabot: Breakfast? We're not married yet.
- Blake Richards: Now, look, honey, if you're gonna stand on ceremony, then the whole deal's off.
