Quotes from

Corliss Archer: [Mrs. Archer thinks Corliss is pregnant] Mother, do you think I'm awful?
Janet Archer: I've already told you what I think, and it hasn't made the slightest impression. You don't seem to realize what a dreadful thing this is. Oh, I don't understand you, Corliss.
Corliss Archer: Mother, do you hate me? Please, don't hate me.
Janet Archer: Hate you? Oh, darling! Darling, of course I don't hate you.
Corliss Archer: You know, I think Daddy'd like to break my neck.
Janet Archer: Only because he loves you so, you little idiot.
Corliss Archer: Mom, please don't feel so awful. Oh, Mom, please don't cry. Oh, if only I could explain ...
Janet Archer: I'm so ashamed, Corliss. I feel it's all my fault.
Corliss Archer: Oh, Mom, no, no!
Janet Archer: To think, how we used to dream about the day you'd get married.
Corliss Archer: But, Mother, we are married.
Janet Archer: What?
Corliss Archer: Well, naturally, Mom. I mean, golly. Well, surely you didn't think that - well, naturally we're married.
Janet Archer: But Corliss -
Corliss Archer: Mom, how could you possibly think we weren't married?
Janet Archer: Then why didn't you say so?
Corliss Archer: Well, I haven't had a chance. Daddy's been yelling ever since, and I was sent to my room.


Dexter Franklin: [entering after Corliss says that Dexter is the father of her baby] Hi, everybody.
Harry Archer: Get out of my sight, you vile, unspeakable, shameless, filthy, little swine!
Dexter Franklin: [thinking he's referring to the previous day when he had slapped Corliss on the arm] Gee whiz, I'm sorry. It'll never happen again.
Janet Archer: Harry, please, I implore, control yourself. Murdering him isn't going to do any good.
Dexter Franklin: Holy cow. It was Corliss' fault as much as it was mine.
Harry Archer: You filthy, little cad!
Corliss Archer: Oh, Dexter! Dexter, you don't know what you're saying!
Dexter Franklin: [to Corliss] Holy cow, I asked you not to tell him. But - but Mr. Archer, it was all in fun.
Corliss Archer: Oh, Daddy, please. Please, don't kill him!


Lt. Lenny Archer: Look, you've got to help me. Can you keep a secret?
Corliss Archer: Cross my heart.
Lt. Lenny Archer: Mildred and I were married this morning.
Corliss Archer: Oh, Lenny! What are Mom and Daddy going to say?
Lt. Lenny Archer: Well, I was going to break it to them tonight, but now with this new row going -
Corliss Archer: Does anybody know? About your being married, I mean?
Lt. Lenny Archer: Not a soul. We drove across the state line to Windham Ferry and dug up a justice of the peace. He and his wife are the only ones who know. Except you.
Corliss Archer: But you're gonna tell Mom and Daddy, aren't you?
Lt. Lenny Archer: I don't know. I'm afraid now her parents might move heaven and earth to have it annulled.
Corliss Archer: Could they?
Lt. Lenny Archer: I guess they could. She lied about her age on the license.
Corliss Archer: Golly. How awful
Lt. Lenny Archer: Awful is right.
Corliss Archer: Gosh. That makes Mildred my sister-in-law, doesn't it?
