• Carol Merrick : I'm very sorry I stayed the night with a friend and I just...

  Madame Sonia Barton : Your affairs are none of the slightest interests to me; except, when they interfere with mine. Out-of-business hours, my young ladies, they do what they please, where they please - so long as they report at nine: fresh, clear-skinned and bright eyed! In the future, when you plan spending the night - with a friend - I would advise the purchase of an alarm clock.

• Madame Sonia Barton : Jane, you're not looking your best lately. What's the matter?

  Jane : Nothing, Madame.

  Madame Sonia Barton : What are you doing with your free time?

  Jane : Why, nothing in particular.

  Madame Sonia Barton : A worn, fagged operator's a very poor advertisement for the establishment. I'd be a little bit more careful if I were you.

• Letty Lawson : My next appointment, Mrs. Sherwood, I - I'd rather not go.

  Madame Sonia Barton : Why what's the matter? Is she so difficult?

  Letty Lawson : Oh, no, no. It's not that. It's a purely personal reason.

  Madame Sonia Barton : There's no room in business for personalities. You must leave those to my clients. My employees must disregard them - so long as they remain my employees.
