• [Mrs Robinson meets Ms Vaughn in her son-in-law's room] 

  Deborah Vaughn : It's all right. I wasn't here first.

  Suzie Robinson : As long as you're not here last.

• Suzie Robinson : I don't know you as well as I did when you were a child, but you were one of the dumbest children I ever met!

  Kate Robinson Mackay : A girl's best friend is her mother!

• Kate Robinson Mackay : [Wearily]  How did I get older than you?

  Suzie Robinson : No character, that's why.

• Suzie Robinson : Now up to now I don't think anything has happened between Larry and that nasty-looking girl.

  Kate Robinson Mackay : She is a nasty looking, isn't she?

  Suzie Robinson : But if you go on neglecting him, something will happen. Did you see the dress she had on?

  Kate Robinson Mackay : Falsies.

  Suzie Robinson : He doesn't know it. I hope. Did you see her make-up? Her hair?

  Kate Robinson Mackay : Mother, what am I supposed to do? Wear a black lace negligee to the supermarket?

  Suzie Robinson : No, that is not what you're supposed to do. I'll tell you what you are supposed to do. You pull yourself together, get this house in order, get on the phone, call Larry, tell him you miss him and you love him, and you want him to come home.

• Suzie Robinson : Loving her is one thing; letting her think she's intelligent is another.
