A Kiss for Corliss (1949)

Dexter Franklin: Hi, Mr. Archer.
Harry P. Archer: Oh ...
Dexter Franklin: This is tomorrow.
Harry P. Archer: I'll make a note of that fact on my calender.
Mrs. Janet Archer: Do you mind, Dexter, we're awfully busy.
Dexter Franklin: But you promised to talk to me about the blackmail today.
Harry P. Archer: At this moment there is nothing in the world I'd be willing to talk to you about. Now get out!
Dexter Franklin: Holy cow!

Kenneth Marquis: [to Mr. Archer] Cheer up, old fellow. If providence should bless you with a grandson, we'll call the little stinker Harry P. Marquis.

Kenneth Marquis: Perhaps you could explain to me how I happened to find myself in this position?
Taylor: Because you belatedly came to what little sense you have. Try and get out of it now, and you have a breach of promise suit, a stockholder suit, and why go on with the list?
Kenneth Marquis: Well, I certainly shan't number it among the gayer weddings to which I have participated. Maybe I'm spoiled, but the others were much more fun!
Taylor: I don't know, I thought the blood in your father-in-law's eye lent a nice touch of festive color.
