Milly Stephenson:
What do you think of the children?
Al Stephenson: Children? I don't recognize 'em. They've grown so old.
Milly Stephenson: I tried to stop them, to keep them just as they were when you left, but they got away from me.

[after Peggy tells her parents that they never had any trouble in their relationship]
Milly Stephenson: "We never had any trouble." How many times have I told you I hated you and believed it in my heart? How many times have you said you were sick and tired of me; that we were all washed up? How many times have we had to fall in love all over again?

Jim Blandings: If you were so crazy about him, why didn't you marry the guy?
Muriel Blandings: Because I wasn't in love with him.Jim Blandings: That's not what you said in your diary!
Muriel Blandings: Oh, now you've been reading my diary?!?
Jim Blandings: Well, it just happened to fall open and I happened to look at it... it just happened.
Muriel Blandings: I'll just bet!

Jim Blandings: Then why don't you admit it? You were in love with Bill Cole!
Muriel Blandings: Oh don't be absurd. Of course I was in love with Bill. In those days I was in love with a new man every week.
Jim Blandings: Then why did you marry me?
Muriel Blandings: I'm beginning to wonder. Maybe it was those big cow eyes of yours, or that ridiculous hole in your chin. Maybe I knew you were going to bring me out to this $38,000 icebox with a dried up trout stream and no windows -- or maybe I just happened to fall in love with you, but for heaven's sake, don't ask me why!
