Quotes 

• Carey Jackson : How do you want your drink?

  Linda Gilman : In a glass.

• Linda Gilman : Paula, darling? Would you be a dear, sweet girl and hand me my notes from that drawer? I have the distinct feeling that if I lean over any further my left eye will fall out.

• Linda Gilman : And, you have to forget I'm a woman.

  Carey Jackson : I will try: Linda Gilman is not a woman, Linda Gilman is not a woman... Have a cigar.

  Linda Gilman : Thanks... I'll smoke it after breakfast.

• Linda Gilman : One by one, you promised every girl at Crestville High to help her with her homework.

  Carey Jackson : [with hangover]  Ohhhh...

  Linda Gilman : It seems you're an expert on multiplication.

• Linda Gilman : Corey, this will be a nineteen page feature about five thousand words. Here are my background notes. We'll call it "June Bride".

  Carleton Towne : Isn't that a little daring?

• Linda Gilman : Oh, you're incredible, utterly incredible! Perched on that pinnacle of masculine ego, peering down at poor defenseless females! and pitying them! Because they don't have beards!

  Carey Jackson : Don't be ridiculous, if you had a beard I wouldn't look at you twice!

• Linda Gilman : I beg your pardon?

  Carleton Towne : No harm done.

• Linda Gilman : No harm done? The whole June issue of "Home Life" just went flying out that door.

• Carey Jackson : You don't mean to tell me that you think you an do something with this funeral parlor?

  Linda Gilman : Wait, you'd be surprised. Why the sour darling smirk?

• Jeanne Brinker : Why haven't you ever married? Certainly there were men who interested you.

  Linda Gilman : Only one.

  Jeanne Brinker : Why didn't you marry him?

  Linda Gilman : Mostly because I wasn't asked.

  Boo Brinker : Why didn't you ask him?

  Jeanne Brinker : You were listening again.

  Boo Brinker : It's the only way I ever hear anything.

• Linda Gilman : By the way, our date *is* off, isn't it? When I didn't hear from you for three years, I leaped to that conclusion. You heel.

• Linda Gilman : You're being charming, reasonable and very boyish. Unless you've changed, that means you're about to drink someone's blood. Probably mine.
