Quotes from
Linda Shaw: Oh, it's just a little trinket my "Aunt Susan" sent over.
Jean Maitland: Say, I think it's very unselfish of those little animals to give up their lives to keep other animals warm.
Linda Shaw: You know, they're very smart little animals. They never give up their lives for the wrong people.
Jean Maitland: Well, you understand the rodent family much better than I do.
Jean Maitland: [to Linda Shaw as she is leaving for a dinner date] Don't chew the bones and give yourself away!

Linda Shaw: Even a chauffer has to have an incentive!
Jean Maitland: Well, you should know!

Facts about
The famous line delivered by Katharine Hepburn ("The calla lilies are in bloom again...") is actually dialog taken from the play "The Lake", which Hepburn infamously played on Broadway (Dorothy Parker famously said that Hepburn "ran the gamut of emotions - from A to B.").
