Happy Hogan: Is there something special about me that you dislike or do you hate me for myself alone?
Beauregard Bottomley: Oh, I don't hate you Mr. Hogan.
Gwenn Bottomley: He merely thinks you are the forerunner of intellectual destruction in America.
Beauregard Bottomley: Yes, nothing personal.

Happy Hogan: You have five seconds to tell us the Japanese word for goodbye. 1... 2...
Beauregard Bottomley: Siyonara. Not to be confused with cyanide, which is, of course, goodbye in any language.

Gerald: Does Polly want a cracker?
Caesar (voice): Polly wants a drink, let's get loaded.*hiccup*
Gerald: He says the darnest things, doesn't he?
Caesar (voice): How about a short one, how about a short one?
Beauregard Bottomley: [to Caesar] You've had your quarter for the day. As I told you before, Gerald, neither I nor my sister taught him these expressions. His former master must have been the greatest reprobate since the emperor Nero.
Gwenn Bottomley: We found him one night leaning up against a lamppost. He couldn't remember where he lived.
Beauregard Bottomley: He still can't.
Gwenn Bottomley: Now we have him down to two drinks a day... soon we'll have him down to no drinks a day.
Caesar (voice): SQUAWK.
Beauregard Bottomley: Now you have frightened him. Caesar, Caesar...
Caesar (voice): CHAMPAGNE.
Beauregard Bottomley: No, no, sorry, you must rough it for a while.

Mrs. Joyce Lanyon: Do I strike you as being so hopelessly useless?
Dr. Martin Arrowsmith: If I had a twin sister, I think she'd be rather like you. That's how you strike me.
Mrs. Joyce Lanyon: That's an original compliment.
Dr. Martin Arrowsmith: That's no compliment, it's a scientific fact.

[a content Conway concluding a romantic interlude with Sondra]
Robert Conway: You know, when we were on that plane, I was fascinated by the way the shadow followed us. That silly shadow! Racing along over mountains and valleys, covering ten times the distance of the plane, and yet always there to greet us... with outstretched arms when we landed. And I've been thinking that, somehow, you're that plane, and I'm that silly shadow. That all my life I've been rushing up and down hills, leaping rivers, crashing over obstacles, never dreaming that one day that beautiful thing in flight would land on this earth and into my arms.

[Burnbridge Waters is attempting to dissuade Beauregard Bottomley from taking his winnings]
Burnbridge Waters: Oh, don't thank me, Beauregard. Just stay as you are. Walk out of here into the sunshine of a carefree world, wise in the knowledge that I have bestowed on you. For it is my sincere conviction that the only way to be happy is to be poor.
Beauregard Bottomley: My dear Burnbridge, I see your point. I am about to make you the happiest man in the world.

[in the silence of the club room, the waiter drops a spoon. Slowly the elderly Colonel stands up, and then... ]
Colonel: Pah! The eternal din in this club is an outrage! I ask you, wot?
Algy Longworth: You're perfectly right, Colonel. We ought to complain. Do you know that's the third spoon I've heard drop this month?
Hugh 'Bulldog' Drummond: Spoons, my hat. I wish that somebody would throw a bomb and wake the place up.

[Happy Hogan leaves coldly when Gwenn is flirting with him]
Beauregard Bottomley: You'll never be more spotless, Gwenn, you've been throughly brushed off.
Gwenn Bottomley: I think he's quite amusing. Did you notice his wonderful smile?
Beauregard Bottomley: Did I? I feel I know each one of his teeth personally.
