Linda: Well, after all, Van, she is an uncommonly good-looking girl. I don't know of anyone in our crowd who's as attractive, and people aren't willing to believe that looks go with brains.
Van: Well, one of the smallest troubles we've ever had, Linda, is caring what other people think.


--Clark Gable (as ) in Wife vs. Secretary

Linda Nordley: Doesn't a woman's reputation count for anything here?

Irene Fellara: But I have talked too much about myself. What about you my friend?
Harry Van: Oh, I'm not very interesting. I'm just what I seem to be.

Irene Fellara: Good night.
Harry Van: Good night.
Irene Fellara: Thanks for giving me such a good time.
Harry Van: Well, thank you, Irene. I always enjoy seeing a woman eat. Don't forget - brush your teeth carefully, tuck yourself in, and have sweet dreams of Old Russia

Irene Fellara: Harry, do you realize the whole world has gone to war? The whole world!
Harry Van: I realize it, but don't ask me why. I've stopped trying to figure it out.
Irene Fellara: I know why it is. It's just to kill us - you and me. Because we are the little people. And for us, the deadliest weapons are the most merciful.
Harry Van: Easy...
Irene Fellara: I've never cared before, but now I want to live.
Harry Van: So do I, but if we don't, let's hope we make a fast exit.
Irene Fellara: Then together.
Harry Van: [explosion from a large bomb nearby] Nice try buddy, but you muffed it!

Irene Fellara: Here we are, on a mountain peak in Bedlam. Tonight war is breaking over the world. And all you worry about is whether I am a girl you once casually met in Oma - ha-ha-ha.
Harry Van: Ha-ha-ha. Did I say it was casual?


--Clark Gable (as Harry Van) in Idiot's Delight

Irene Fellara: The temple of your memory must be so crowded.
Harry Van: Are you sure you've never been in Omaha, Madame?


--Clark Gable (as Harry Van) in Idiot's Delight

Irene Fellara: Where'd you get your education, Harry?
Harry Van: What makes you think I got one?


--Clark Gable (as Harry Van) in Idiot's Delight

Irene Fellara: You are a very bad dancer.
Harry Van: Hmmm... in Romania they thought I was pretty good.
