Julie: Why, Pres. Bangin' on a lady's door. I'm scandalized at you. Well, did you come up here just to stand there?
Preston Dillard: Julie, how long must we go on like this?
Julie: Like what, Pres?
Preston Dillard: Fightin', fussin' all the time, like a couple of children.
Julie: Why do you treat me like a child?
Preston Dillard: Because you act like one. A spoiled one.
Julie: You used to say you liked me like that once. You never wanted me to change. Remember?
Preston Dillard: Julie.
Julie: [after he kisses her] Why, Pres. In a lady's bedroom. Now you'll have to marry me.
Preston Dillard: What do you figure I aim to do?
Julie: Then kiss me again.

Julie: Your wife?
Amy Bradford Dillard: And you're, may I say Julie?
Julie: Pres' wife? You're funnin'.
Preston Dillard: Hardly.
Julie: Married? My felicitations, Pres.

Kit Marlowe: [responding to a question about Millie's daughter Deidre] Well, she's really partly mine anyway. I was at the hospital when she was born. As a matter of fact, she gave me her first smile. Her mother said it was gas.

Kit Marlowe: Cheer up, there's always what's left of the ice.

Kit Marlowe: Deidre, come out from behind that screen.
[a pause]
Kit Marlowe: Deidre, come out, or do you want me to come back there and drag you out.
Deirdre Drake: [emerging from behind screen] How did you know I was there?
Kit Marlowe: My dear, I was hiding behind screens before you were born.

Kit Marlowe: I know... my fatal beauty drives men mad.


--Bette Davis (as Kit Marlowe) in Old Acquaintance

Kit Marlowe: I'd better get out of here, Millie, before I do something I'll be very sorry for.
Millie Drake: Yes, go! And if you think I want you to come back ever you're wrong! Well? why don't you go?
Kit Marlowe: In just a minute.
[She puts down her parcels, crosses the room, grabs Millie by the shoulders and shakes her violently, then shoves her so she falls on the sofa]
Kit Marlowe: Sorry.
[She picks up her things and exits, leaving Millie throwing a tantrum]


--Bette Davis (as Kit Marlowe) in Old Acquaintance

Kit Marlowe: It's late, and I'm very, very tired of youth and love and self-sacrifice.


--Bette Davis (as Kit Marlowe) in Old Acquaintance

Kit Marlowe: Millie remembers the same things I do, that's important. For instance, she's the only person I know, who still remembers when I used to be called Chunky.
Preston Drake: I'd think you wouldn't want to remember that.
Kit Marlowe: But one does. Funny, one does.

Kit Marlowe: There comes a time in every woman's life when the only thing that helps is a glass of champagne.
