Quotes

Agnes Van Rhijn : These people. You shut the door, they come in the window. You shut the window, they come down the chimney. They never give up.
Marian Brook : But isn't that a good thing?

Ada Brook : She says the opera war is really heating up.
Marian Brook : Why does there have to be a war? Why can't the Academy create more boxes for the new people to rent?

Marian Brook : I wish I could see what he's done wrong.

Marian Brook : It's true people invite him, but that's because he's pleasant and popular. Everyone likes him.
Agnes Van Rhijn : Everyone except me. Be warned, my dear. He won't need you much longer if he keeps this up. Any minute now, he'll see his chance and move on to more glittering prizes.
Ada Brook : Agnes. What a horrid thing to say.
Marian Brook : You don't know him, Aunt Agnes.
Agnes Van Rhijn : I know his type. And I am never wrong.
Marian Brook : You're wrong this time.
-
Agnes Van Rhijn : Heads have rolled for less.
-
Agnes Van Rhijn : She has ensnared Mr. McAllister and dragged him to her lair?
Marian Brook : I think he's just coming to luncheon.
