• Christabel : I've always wanted to know someone who went to China, tell me about it.

  Nick : A lot of Chinese live there.

• Christabel : Hello, Nick. I thought your plane left at twelve?

  Nick : It did. They have a habit of leaving whether I'm on them or not.

• Nick : [to Christabel]  I don't make dates with other men's wives unless they bring written permission from their husbands.

• Nick : [to Christabel]  How many times do I have to tell you how much you love me?

• Nick : Why don't you marry me and quit getting lost?

  Christabel : Nick!

  Nick : That's no answer.

  Christabel : Oh, I can't darling, I need time, give me a little time.

  Nick : All right, I won't push you. I'll give you till tommorow night.

• Nick : [to Christabel]  You little fake. Don't you know what you really want? Make up your mind, and make it up now, because I'm a restless guy.

• Nick : [to Gobby, as they both look at Gobby's painting of Christabel]  Looks like a cross between Lucrezia Borgia and Peg o' my heart. Even with two heads you couldn't look like this - or do you know something I don't?
