- [Val induces a fantasy about Gil's divorced parents]
- Val Boyd: Think your Dad will ever come back?
- Marian Gilbert: Why can he? He's married and has a couple of kids.
- Val Boyd: But how do you know he's happy?
- Marian Gilbert: He's crazy about her.
- Val Boyd: I know, but just suppose he suddenly realized his second marriage was a tragic mistake. His eyes are opened at last, and he knows now that your mother is the only woman he's ever loved in his whole life.
- Marian Gilbert: I don't think there's much chance of that.
- Val Boyd: So there's nothing to do but tell her the truth... the scond wife I mean. He's simply got to go back to the only woman he's loved in his whole life. Good-bye, second wife.
- Marian Gilbert: You think that's really possible?
- Val Boyd: Well, he's got no other choice. He can't go living a lie, can he? He's got to go back to his one true love.
- Marian Gilbert: Maybe, during Christmas.
- Val Boyd: Chirstmas Eve maybe.
- Marian Gilbert: About 6:00.
- Val Boyd: You and your mother are all alone trimming the tree, when suddenly the doorbell rings.
- Marian Gilbert: I'd be the one to go and answer it.
- Val Boyd: But you'd be wondering 'who on earth it could be,' because you weren't expectign anyone. He'd open the door, and he'd be standig there simply loaded with presents. And before you could say anything, he'd say, 'Shhhh,' because he wants to surprise your mother. At first, he'd give you a big hugh, just as tight as he could.
- Marian Gilbert: And them Mom would come down wondering who it was, beause she'd be wondering why she didn't hear anybody say anything.
- Val Boyd: And for a long time, they'd just stand there and stare at each other not saying anything.
- Marian Gilbert: They wouldn't have to.
- Val Boyd: [sighing mid-sentence] And then he'd take her in his arms, and rain kisses on her upturned face, and they'd just... love each other to death right there at the front door.
- Erica Booth: [to Avis about Henry Orient's concerto] If this is music, what's that stuff Cole Porter writes?
- Emma Hambler: Marian, I can't tell you how pleased we are that Valerie has a real friend now.
- Marian Gilbert: Well, I'm very pleased to be her friend.
- Emma Hambler: She spends too much time alone. Or with adults, which is even worse.
- Isabel Boyd: I've heard of you, of course; but, I haven't had the pleasure of hearing you play.
- Henry Orient: Well, since I'm not - Liberace, I would be surprised if you had.
- Marian Gilbert: [in defending her friendship with Val] Valerie Boyd's just about the most linquent girl I've ever met in my whole life!
- Val Boyd: You know, I don't know whether I ought to or not, but I feel awfully happy... in a sort of sad way.
- Erica Booth: I know, I went through the same thing with John Barrymore.
- Marian Gilbert: Who?
- Erica Booth: What did you say?
- Marian Gilbert: This guy you went through it with.
- Erica Booth: You mean you've never heard of John Barrymore?
- Marian Gilbert: Nope.
- Erica Booth: You've never even heard his name?
- Marian Gilbert: Nope.
- Erica Booth: Excuse me, it's later than I think.
- Stella Dunworthy: This is exactly the sort of thing Paul would think of, little girl detectives that no one would suspect.
- Henry Orient: So you don't think anything peculiar in the fact that they were the same little punks, eh?
- Sidney: They live in the neighborhood and they play in the park. So, what's so peculiar about that?
- Henry Orient: But twice with the same dame.
- Sidney: Well, how could it not be the same dame, if the the same dame is the only dame you ever go out with anymore?
- Henry Orient: [improvising on the piano] You know what dis is?
- Stella Dunworthy: No.
- Henry Orient: You.
- Stella Dunworthy: I?
- Henry Orient: Why don't you take off your hat and sit over there against the last rays of the sunset. That was out of my memories of you. And now - you. The curl of your hair. The soft curve of your cheek. The burnt umber in your sultry eyes. The bare bronze of your shoulders. The sweet warmth of your throat. Those satin arms. Twin poems.
- Val Boyd: I adore him! You can tell the whole world if you want to that, I, Valerie Campbell Boyd, love and adore the great and beautiful and wonderful Henry Orient, world without end, amen.
- Avis Gilbert: No matter what they do or how they feel about her, they're still her parents, and, for better or worse, children belong to their parents.
- Val Boyd: What is it?
- Marian Gilbert: The eternal flame of the garden of the gods. Turn off the light. Oh, August flame of the ten thousand mandarins, hark your humble servants. Come on. Kowtow to it.
- Val Boyd: Oh, moon of my secret heart, speak to your worshipful Cherry Blossom.
- Marian Gilbert: Golden Bells. I'm Cherry Blossom now.
- Val Boyd: Speak to your worshipful Golden Bells, oh, Moon of the glorious apricot.
- Marian Gilbert: Give us the wisdom of the mysterious Orient, oh, mighty King of the Kong.
- Val Boyd: A magical sign from the tomb of our honorable ancestors.
- [last lines]
- Val Boyd: Know what I would like?
- Marian Gilbert: What?
- Val Boyd: A mouth like a crimson gash.
- Marian Gilbert: Hey, that's a cool idea!
- Henry Orient: [on the phone] Hello, hello, hello. Pan Am? Listen, what's the next flight out of here? Anywhere. Yeah, that'll do.
- Henry Orient: I have drunk deep of joy tonight, my love. Now there can be no other wine in life left for me.
- Marian Gilbert: Valerie Boyd, you shaved your legs!
- Val Boyd: You are the biggest blabbermouth.
- Marian Gilbert: You didn't tell me.
- Val Boyd: I don't have to tell you everything.
- Avis Gilbert: What is it?
- Marian Gilbert: She shaved her legs!
- Erica Booth: Louder. Some of the people on the balcony can't hear you.
- Marian Gilbert: You're gonna have bristles.
- Val Boyd: Not if I keep shaving.
- Avis Gilbert: Please, girls.
- Marian Gilbert: But why'd you do it? You're not so hairy.
- Val Boyd: I'm old enough if I want to.
- Marian Gilbert: I mean, it's not as if you were as hairy as Kafritz.
- Val Boyd: Talbot's hairier than Kafritz, arms and legs.
- Marian Gilbert: But, it doesn't show so much on her. She's a blonde. A brunette always looks hairier than a blonde. Kafritz is the hairiest.
- [Gil and Val arrive at the concert hall as people are leaving]
- Marian Gilbert: Where can I find Mr. Orient?
- Usher: The posse's forming around back at the stage door.
- Isabel Boyd: Just one thing. In case you and Miss Gilbert are planning any further adventures, I had a talk with your Mr. Orient this afternoon. And if you ever go anywhere near him again, I've asked him to let me know - instead of calling the police, as he had intended.
- Frank Boyd: Call the police for what?
- Isabel Boyd: Well he's got a right to protect himself from that sort of harrassment.
- Frank Boyd: And he was really going to call the cops?
- Isabel Boyd: Indeed he was.
- Frank Boyd: He sounds nuttier than the girls.
- Isabel Boyd: All right, what would you do?
- Frank Boyd: [sarcastically] Well if I couldn't buy them off with sodas, I suppose I'd feel compelled to pack a rod.
- Val Boyd: [describing the concept of "adventuring" to Gil] I mean, like, jumping right out of your skin, and being absolutely somebody else. Not just pretending, but actually *being* somebody else.
- Henry Orient: [describing his encounter with Gil and Val, during an intimate moment with Mrs. Dunworthy] ... and then two small bladders came out of their mouths. And just when she was beginning to hum, too.
- [Gil has smuggled food into her room for Val, who has run away from home]
- Marian Gilbert: If you'd let me tell Mom, I could get some cranberry sauce too.
- Val Boyd: No, no matter how nice they are, they all belong to the same club, or union, or something. And the minute it's about a daughter, boom, straight to the telephone.
- Sidney: Don't you understand what I'm trying to tell you, Henry? You're in trouble. If I keep telling them you're at the dentist's, they're going to want to count your teeth.
- Sidney: Henry, you've got to remember you're not Van Cliburn. Now, if Van Cliburn misses a rehearsal, okay, he's still Van Cliburn, and nobody says, "Throw the bum out."
- Marian Gilbert: I'm used to living with Mom and Boothy.
- Val Boyd: Boothy?
- Marian Gilbert: She's an old friend who lives with us. She's swell.
- Marian Gilbert: My last thoughts were of him.
- Val Boyd: Who?
- Marian Gilbert: Gregory Peck.
- Val Boyd: Too old.
- Erica Booth: You know the only reason I quit? One day I was telling this - this wizard, one of the most delightful dreams. Straight out of Henry Miller. I heard him - snoring.
- Doctor: Joke, huh? You know what doctors do with people who make jokes like that? We take them straight to the hospital and pump their stomachs out. You ever have your stomach pumped out by a real good pumper?
- Val Boyd: This is love, Gilbert. Oh, my dreamy dream of dreams, my beautiful, adorable, Oriental Henry. How can I prove to you that I'm yours?
- Erica Booth: Say, hey, what's this avant-garde stuff it says here?
- Val Boyd: Sure, way out! It said it in 'The Times'.
- Erica Booth: No tune?
- Val Boyd: Are you kidding?
- Erica Booth: I hope I don't throw up.
- Tobacconist: What's your mother's name?
- Val Boyd: Jayne Mansfield.
- Tobacconist: That's your mother? Jayne Mansfield!
- Frank Boyd: Will either of you ladies be traditional with me and have an eggnog? Or is it going to be martinis for you?
- Erica Booth: No, I'll be trad, Dad. Where's the bowl?
- Frank Boyd: I'll get one for each of you.
- Henry Orient: I have a very good ear for voices. Nine times out of ten it tells me, well, almost everything. After hearing yours, for example, even over the telephone, I could have entered a room - that was full of women and I could have walked directly up to you.
- Isabel Boyd: That is remarkable.
- Henry Orient: But I would have been wrong.
- Isabel Boyd: Oh, why?
- Henry Orient: Because I would have walked up to a dark woman. Dark and sultry, like one of - like one of Sargent's Edwardian beauties. And that - is what puzzles me.
- Isabel Boyd: Oh, would you mind if we talked about my daughter first?
- Henry Orient: You see, you are not by Sargent. Oh, no, no, no. You are by Renoir. Oh, yes. Definitement Renoir. Have you ever seen his 'Girl in April' in the Frick?
- Isabel Boyd: I'm sorry. I...
- Henry Orient: Beautiful. All rose and gold. Golden hair, golden sunshine. A golden girl smiling in a rose garden. You're a nymph with a sultry voice.
- Isabel Boyd: You know, if you're not in a hurry, I'd love to have a cup of coffee.
- Val Boyd: Boy, am I gonna get some goodies now! Four Seasons, 21. That's the only kind of place they go to, you know. And someplace where everything's on fire when they bring it to the table. I may get the gout!
- [talking about the school]
- Val Boyd: You're new here too, aren't you?
- Marian Gilbert: Last month.
- Val Boyd: You like it?
- Marian Gilbert: They say it's the finest girls' school in the country.
- Val Boyd: I don't either.
