-
Bart Hunter : As soon as Molly is found - and I'm sure she will be - I suggest you vacate these rooms as swiftly as possible.
Helen Jorgenson : [incredulously] Don't tell me that you're on their side!
Bart Hunter : Let's merely say that I'm not on yours.
-
Bart Hunter : Do you and your husband often swim in the raw Mrs Jorgenson?
Helen Jorgenson : Good heavens no!
Bart Hunter : Oh, she hasn't lived has she Ken?
Bart Hunter : Why, there's absolutely nothing like galloping bare bottomed into the sea!

Sylvia Hunter : He gave me a hope I thought was gone.
Bart Hunter : [intoxicated] A hope for what?
Sylvia Hunter : Happiness.

Bart Hunter : [Intoxicated] This'll be painful for you, but you might as well face the truth... the RAW truth. Take... take a good look at your parents, hmm? We've got no more secrets to hide. All the cats are out of the bag: all the scrawling, mangy, obscene, horrible cats of your inheritance. You're the son of a drunkard... and a harlot.
Johnny Hunter : You're wrong about mother, dad.
Bart Hunter : Gone to her side, have ya'?
Johnny Hunter : I'm not taking sides. I just want to marry Molly.
Bart Hunter : [pauses, then smirks] Oh, Johnny, stop being a silly sentimentalist. It's stupid! Molly is merely a succulent little wench!
Johnny Hunter : She's not a wench! She's everything I've ever dreamed of in a girl.
Bart Hunter : Oh, don't make me laugh! They're all alike in the dark!
Johnny Hunter : [Taken aback] You can't make her cheap! You can't do it! In spite of your damned supercilious, intelligent mind. And with or without your consent, we're getting married!
-
Bart Hunter : This may sound strange coming from an.. an inebriate... but I have observed that there is a moral law at work in the world.
Bart Hunter : ... and that sinners pay... in one way or the other.
-
Bart Hunter : [addressing Molly and Johnny] Well... I profoundly hope you do not get married. But if you do, well... maybe life's only a dice game after all.
Bart Hunter : And if it is, our family's certainly due for a winner.
