Nora Charles : Who's Sam Ronson?
Mrs. Charles : He's the town banker. He has a hand in everything that goes on here. I suppose he's what you call a typhoon.
Dr. Bertram Charles : Do'nt you mean tycoon, mother? Typhoon is a sort of big wind.
Mrs. Charles : Well, that's Sam Ronson.

Nicholas 'Nick' Charles : Now you're going to get it! You're going to get it...
Nora Charles : Oh, no Nick, not here in front of your parents!
Nicholas 'Nick' Charles : [Nick bends Nora over and starts spanking her behind with a newspaper and starts quoting Nora's statement to the press] But you can draw your own conclusions!
Nora Charles : Ouch! Nicky!
Nicholas 'Nick' Charles : This will teach you the power of the press!
Nora Charles : Oh! A fine son you brought up. A wife-beater!
Dr. Bertram Charles : A brave boy!

Nora Charles : I don't suppose there's any crime in Sycamore Springs?
Mrs. Charles : Gracious no. The only excitement we ever had was a runaway horse last Christmas.

Mrs. Charles : Well, all I can say is if you're looking for crime in Sycamore Springs, you'll have to commit it yourself.
Nora Charles : I wonder? Nicky always says that there's a skeleton in nearly every closet and if you rattle it hard enough something always happens.
