Quotes
-
Eve : [after a dinner where Terry Randall has evidently spoken very eloquently about Shakespeare] Well, I don't like to gossip, but that new gal seems to have an awful crush on Shakespeare!
Susan : [jokingly] I wouldn't be surprised if they get married!
Mary Lou : [with genuine naiveté] Oh, you're foolin'! Shakespeare's dead!
Susan : [Feigning surprise, playing along to entertain the others] No!
Mary Lou : Well, if he's the same one that wrote "Hamlet", he is!
Eve : [playing along, too] Never heard of it.
Mary Lou : Well, certainly you must have heard of "Hamlet"!
Eve : Well, I meet so many people.
-
Eve : A pleasant little foursome. I predict a hatchet murder before the night's over.
-
Eve : It must have been counterfeit. There's no such thing as a fifty dollar bill.
Judy Canfield : You know, I think she's as phony as that bill.
-
Terry Randall : The trouble with you is you're all trying to be comics. Don't you ever take anything seriously?
Judy Canfield : After you've sat around for a year trying to get a job, you won't take anything seriously either.
Terry Randall : Well, do you have to just sit around and do nothing about it?
Judy Canfield : Maybe it's in the blood. My grandfather sat around until he was 80.
Terry Randall : Well, my grandfather didn't. And if he and a lot of others hadn't crossed the country in a covered wagon, there'd still be Indians living in Wichita.
Eve : Who do you think's living there now?
-
Kay Hamilton : Do you have appointments too?
Judy Canfield : We're waiting for Randall. If she doesn't crack Powell's office by two o'clock, she's buying us lunch.
Eve : We're starting off with caviar. Oh, not that small sturgeon kind; but, nice big whale caviar.
-
Jean Maitland : Hey, you're not gonna catch the opening tonight, huh?
Eve : No, I'm going tomorrow and catch the closing.
-
Eve : You can't have peace without a war.
-
Terry Randall : You sound very superior. What have you ever done in the theater?
Eve : Everything but burst out of a pie at a Rotarian banquet.
-
Eve : Looks like there's a new Queen Bee buzzing around the hive.
Judy Canfield : Well, it seems to be the same King.
-
Eve : I'll never put my trust in males again.
Terry Randall : What happened to Eve?
Jean Maitland : She's brokenhearted. Henry's in a cat hospital.
Terry Randall : An accident?
Jean Maitland : He just had a litter of kittens.
Terry Randall : Well, that's easy to solve. Change his name to Henrietta.
-
Susan : Hang onto your chairs girls, we're going to get another load of Shakespeare.
Terry Randall : Is it against the rules of the house to discuss the classics?
Eve : No. Go right ahead. I won't take my sleeping pill tonight.

Jean Maitland : Hey, you're not going to catch the opening tonight, huh?
Eve : No, I'm going tomorrow and catch the closing.
