  Capt. Spaulding : All of us!

  Mrs. Whitehead : But, that's bigamy!

  Capt. Spaulding : Yes, and it's big of me too.

• Capt. Spaulding : We three would make an ideal couple. Why you've got beauty, charm, money! You have got money, haven't you? Because if you haven't, we can quit right now.

  Mrs. Whitehead : The captain is charming, isn't he?

  Mrs. Rittenhouse : I'm fascinated!

  Capt. Spaulding : I'm fascinated, too. Right on the arm.
