- Doris Meade: Gee, Mom, you look really groovy. Gee, Dad, you look real beat.
- Didi: You know that I am of royal blood. Everybody knows that Didi comes from a noble line.
- Pepe Pepponi: You come from a noble line all right... a noble line a sailor gave your foolish mother.
- Tom Meade: [after Didi has angrily hurled several objects at him] Oh, those Europeans... Why do they have to talk with their hands?
- Doris Meade: [after Bob has kicked Lily for making a wisecrack] What happened?
- Tom Meade: Oh, she had her mouth open, and tripped over it.
- Tom Meade: You want to get your money out of that property, don't you?
- Lily: Yeah!
- Tom Meade: You want to help me get it off our hands so I can dump it off on some *other* unsuspecting jerk, don't you?
- Lily: Right!
- Tom Meade: Well, Didi is the magic word... and I'm gonna' need help.
- Lily: The whole thing sounds underhanded, disgraceful, and messy... and you can count on me.
- 'D.G.', Movie Studio Boss: [talking to Didi's director, Pepe, as both men are frustrated with Didi's latest antics] All I ask is that someday they invent a way we can make pictures without actors.
- Tom Meade: [shooing away Boy Scouts who are peering through the window at him and Didi in the lake cottage] Hey, scram. Get out of here. Go whittle a redwood... Communists!
- Lily: The trouble with men is, they don't understand what makes a woman tick.
- Tom Meade: This one ticks like a time bomb.
- Lily: [rummaging in Didi's purse] Now, any woman who carries sleeping pills has *got* to carry pep pills... and here they are!
- Tom Meade: Oh, Lilly, I could almost kiss you! - I said "almost".
