Quotes 

• Lizzy Fielding : Alex likes all that glamor, I suppose, but what have actors got to do with music?

  Janice Benedict : Mother, they're people, too.

  Lizzy Fielding : I doubt it.

• Lizzy Fielding : Mr. Rifkin, I am concerned with my orchestra. I have spend twenty-five years making it what it is today and gouging people for money to build the Symphony Association. Aside from my daughter, this is my baby - and if anybody tries to hurt either one of them, he's out! The ax! Anybody!

• Paul Rifkin : I smoke grass sometimes, just about like you drink gin. Didn't you ever have a drink of gin during... Prohibition, when gin was illegal?

  Lizzy Fielding : And let's not get smart about how old I am.

• Janice Benedict : Do you think she was the kind of woman... men would have found attractive, for instance?

  Lizzy Fielding : Why would you ask that? What a silly question. She was a pianist, the poor dear. Something that should concern none of us.

• Alex Benedict : Am I too late for the lynching?

  Lizzy Fielding : This is not a lynching, Alex. What do you want?

  Alex Benedict : I just dropped in to defend Paul. I thought he might need a friend.

  Lizzy Fielding : Well it's noble of you to come galloping to the rescue, but there's no reason to assume that we're planning a hanging.
