- Opening Title Card: In these days of glittering exteriors it behooves the young to examine carefully lest they mistake a highly polished personality for genuine soul of gold.
- Title Card: Misses Cynthia and Elizabeth Whitney, to whom the whole Twentieth Century is a work of Satan.
- Aunt Elizabeth Whitney: Goodness!
- Aunt Cynthia Whitney: What if our niece were to have heard thy profanity... . for it was nothing less sister, nothing less!
- Title Card: Miss Prudence Cole, their niece - - a bit of pure gold, but as yet unpolished.
- Aunt Elizabeth Whitney: Twice this very day have I rebuked thee for singing tunes that are not in the hymn book!
- Aunt Cynthia Whitney: Thee must not prance, child! Walk soberly as befits a Whitney and a gentlewoman.
- Prudence Cole: I'm awfully sorry, I didn't mean to be wicked.
- Mrs. Garrison: How long before you are going to let Prudence come out?
- Aunt Cynthia Whitney: What does thee mean 'come out'?
- Aunt Elizabeth Whitney: Remember thy maidenly manners, child, and be not bold nor too backward, either.
- Title Card: Amy Tillson, who has a summer resort mind and hopes to land a gold-lined husband.
- Henry Garrison: I suppose you are going to play with the society seals in the pool.
- [Prudence thinks and then laughs]
- Title Card: Two days were enough to convince Prudence that she was regarded in the same light as an extra tire, but she was determined to die game.
- Cheyne Rovein: I wonder what a little diamond like that is doing among all these rhinestones?
- Peter: She needs a good bit of polishing, I'm thinking, sir!
- Cheyne Rovein: It isn't that, Peter. All she really needs is a platinum setting.
- Prudence Cole: I should think a man might be genius and still be a gentleman.
- Cheyne Rovein: So there is a little fight back under your demure exterior! It's a delightful surprise.
- Prudence Cole: Why do you want to do all this for me?
- Cheyne Rovein: So that the world may recognize beauty's worth.
- Amy Tillson: [to Prudence] I wouldn't want to lure you into the water in that bathing suit... .. you would surely sink.
- Cheyne Rovein: What can I do for you?
- Prudence Cole: They sent me up to ask you if you would take charge of some charades the young people are getting up.
- Cheyne Rovein: Do you mean those brainless puppies expect me to amuse them?
- Prudence Cole: Yes.
- Cheyne Rovein: Go back and tell them I am an artist, not the manager of a menagerie.
- Cheyne Rovein: Don't call those stupid snobs my friends! I have to put up with them just the same as I do mosquitoes.
- Cheyne Rovein: You may not know it, Miss Cole, but you are a far truer artistic type than anyone else here.
- Prudence Cole: Henry, tell me... . how would you define *Love*?
- Henry Garrison: It's the way you feel towards somebody who is awfully smart and will dressed...... and all that sort of thing.
- Society Man: She's not a quaker, she's a shaker.
- Prudence Cole: Tell me, what would you say that love is?
- Cheyne Rovein: Love - - love is companionship and understanding - - the joy of being with the one you love - - of giving to the one you love.
- Mrs. Garrison: You don't realize how Prudence has come out since she has been here.
- Aunt Elizabeth Whitney: I realized how much she had come out the moment I saw her.
- Henry Garrison: I haven't told you the real reason why I'm so anxious to have you allow Prudence to remain. By Jove, old dears, I've made up my mind to marry the girl.
- Henry Garrison: Prudence, when are we going to get married?
- Prudence Cole: But Henry, I have not said I love you!
- Henry Garrison: Listen, I'm talking to you about marriage! Why get off on another subject?
- Society Matron: Why, the child is shimmying!
