Bill : What is this mission you're talking about?
Peggy Reynolds : My father and mother.
Bill : Well, what's the matter with them?
Peggy Reynolds : Oh, Bill, they're playing with fire.
Bill : Who doesn't now days? They're just havin' some harmless fun.
Peggy Reynolds : Harmless for us maybe, because we're young enough to know better.
Bill : I wouldn't worry about it. They're mature!
Peggy Reynolds : I know it. But, that's the trouble. They're too old to understand the present day technique.
Bill : I'll say you understand it, all right.

Peggy Reynolds : Who are the girls?
Tootie : I don't know, but, they must be ladies.
Peggy Reynolds : How do you know?
Tootie : Look, they're wearing stockings.
Peggy Reynolds : Well, you cute little things.
Tootie : Hey, gang! Gang! Come on, let's get those stockings! Up and Adam!

Mrs. Sophie Reynolds : You're not ill?
Peggy Reynolds : Nothing serious, just a headache.
Mrs. Sophie Reynolds : I'm sorry. Let me undress you and put you to bed. You know, I haven't done that in years, dear.
Peggy Reynolds : Why mother dear, are you sure you aren't ill?
Mrs. Sophie Reynolds : Of course not. Here, let me help you.
Peggy Reynolds : Eh, no. I don't think I'll get undressed. I'll just lie here on the bed and read awhile.
Mrs. Sophie Reynolds : Now, don't be silly. You'll be much more comfortable in bed.
Peggy Reynolds : But, I don't want to...
Mrs. Sophie Reynolds : Now!
Peggy Reynolds : Oh, all right. Mother knows best.
Mrs. Sophie Reynolds : Of course she does.

Clinton Darrow : Well, dear me, this is one pleasure I hadn't looked forward to.
Peggy Reynolds : I-I hadn't either.
Clinton Darrow : You were just following that impulse, eh?
Peggy Reynolds : What impulse?
Clinton Darrow : Whatever impulse it is that attracts a man and a girl.
Peggy Reynolds : Oh, its all a mistake.
Clinton Darrow : A mistake? An indiscretion, maybe. But, a mistake - never.
Peggy Reynolds : Oh, I feel so ashamed.

Clinton Darrow : Why, you're trembling like a frightened child.
Peggy Reynolds : Well, you're leaving out the whole preface. Don't you know the hero always locks the door and produces a couple of drinks.
Clinton Darrow : Pardon me for overlooking such important details.
[Produces a bottle and shows it to Peggy]
Clinton Darrow : Finest Sherry on the market. Pre-Chinese war, every bit of it. And the label's imported all the way from Europe. Now, if you'll wait, I'll lock the door.

Bill : Peggy, I saw you coming out of Darrow's window last night. I was with Janet and...
Peggy Reynolds : And?
Bill : Well, no nice girl does that, you know, in her pajamas!
Peggy Reynolds : Well, you would hardly expect me to come out without my pajamas, would you?
-
Bill : Well, Peggy, I saw you with my own eyes. What else is a fella gonna think?
Peggy Reynolds : A fella with an evil mind like yours, can think a lot of things.

Peggy Reynolds : Oh, you can go - go to the devil!

Peggy Reynolds : I guess its about time the whole family signed an armistice and let's begin all over again. Father, forget the Romeo stuff.
[to her mother]
Peggy Reynolds : As well, as the flapper stuff. And let us just be our age. Hmmm?
