Arabella Rittenhouse : May I present Mr. Parker.
Mrs. Whitehead : Oh, of the, eh, Massachusetts Parkers?
John Parker : Why, no.
Mrs. Whitehead : Oh, then the, eh, Southern Parkers?
Arabella Rittenhouse : Oh, no, the Central Parkers. You know, the, eh, benches and trees.
Mrs. Whitehead : I see!
[Mrs. Whitehead leaves]
Arabella Rittenhouse : Meow! Oh, I don't like that woman!
-
John Parker : Do you really love me?
Arabella Rittenhouse : Why don't you marry me and find out.
John Parker : Marry you? Heh! On what! Last year I sold two paintings. One at a hundred and one at fifty. Could we live on a hundred and fifty dollars a year?
Arabella Rittenhouse : Well, we wouldn't need any money. I've got a charge account in every shop on Fifth Avenue.
John Parker : Well, if I had any brains, I'd give up painting and get a regular job. You know, I had a cousin who made $50,000 on Wall Street last year.
Arabella Rittenhouse : I don't want to marry your cousin. I'm a darn fool. I want to marry you.

Arabella Rittenhouse : [singing] When we pet, close in your arms you hold me. I forget, all that my mother told me...

Arabella Rittenhouse : Oh, Mr. Raviola!
Ravelli : Ravelli, Ravelli.
Arabella Rittenhouse : Oh, eh, Mr. Ravelli, I want you to do something for me.

Arabella Rittenhouse : I'll get Capt. Spaulding. He'll get to the bottom of this!
-
Capt. Spaulding : [Parker picks up a painting] I tell you, it didn't take that long to find him.
John Parker : That's right, this is it!
Capt. Spaulding : Yeah, that's it, but which one is it?
John Parker : Captain, this is the one that was just taken from my room!
Capt. Spaulding : Well, we've got that back, maybe I got my watch back.
[checks his pocket]
Capt. Spaulding : Now the fob is gone! Well, I... still got the pocket. Anything I retain now is velvet... except the coat, that's Prince Albert.
Capt. Spaulding : [glances at the camera, breaking the fourth wall] Well, all the jokes can't be that good; you've got to expect that once in a while.
John Parker : Say, if we can find the fellow that painted this picture, well, we'd have a pretty good clue.
Capt. Spaulding : What did you say?
John Parker : I said, if we could find the fellow that painted this picture, we'd have a pretty good clue!
Capt. Spaulding : You just said that! What a dull conversationalist you turned out to be. Let me see that a minute, will you? Say, this is signed 'Beaugard'! There's the criminal: Beaugard!
Arabella Rittenhouse : No, Beaugard is dead!
Capt. Spaulding : Beaugard is dead? Then it's murder! Now we've got something!
