Nona Gregg : I'm tired out. I've been looking at these four walls until they're beginning to make faces at me. And this dime store china, its making an old woman out of me.
Eric Gregg : Baby, if you're an old woman, I'd certainly be nuts about your grandmother.

Nona Gregg : Stall. Stall! Listen to me, Eric Gregg, I'm through stalling. Life with you has been one big stall ever since we've been married.

Eric Gregg : Take it easy, honey, and quit grousing. We'll step out this evening. I'll take you to Ciro's or the Red Pheasant or anyplace you say.
Nona Gregg : The Red Pheasant?
Eric Gregg : It's a bet. I'll be home the minute I get through.
Nona Gregg : Well, what'll I wear?
Eric Gregg : Use your own judgement. You'd look okay to me in an old bath towel.
Nona Gregg : The best thing I have doesn't look much better than an old bath towel.

Eric Gregg : Hey, wait a minute. What's come over you? Why, you're actually showing an interest in my work. You never did that before.

Eric Gregg : I'll say there isn't. Keep it up.

Nona Gregg : I'm fed up with great gobs of ideals being served to me morning, noon, and night. I see very little future in the insurance business for my husband. And I think a woman should definitely look to the future.
Blair Thurston : You're quite right. I'm sure I can do something about your future.
Nona Gregg : And the consideration?
Blair Thurston : In return for a slight service tomorrow afternoon, I'm prepared to cancel you indebtedness to this company.

Nona Gregg : I stopped at the corner of Elm and Sunset Drive. And just as the signal changed, a car drove right through the red light and struck a poor colored man and knocked him down.
