Alice Sycamore: Wish I'd known her (her grandma). What was she like?
Grandpa Vanderhoff: Look in there (points to mirror).

Jean Arthur
(as Alice Sycamore)
Alice Sycamore: You know I've decided that it's your family that isn't good enough! Why I wouldn't be related to a bunch of snobs like that for anything in the world. Your mother's all in a dither because of her social reputation.
The Crowd: That's telling them Alice. Who do they think they are!
Alice Sycamore: Your reputation's safe as far as I'm concerned - and so is your son's -- and so is your old man's!

Alice Sycamore:That's not true! Grandpa, I won't stand for it! I won't stand for our being humiliated like this! They were ashamed to say why they were there. They're ashamed to admit they came to look my family over -- to see if I was good enough to marry their precious son!
Mary Forbes
(as Mrs. Anthony Kirby)
Mrs. Anthony Kirby: Haven't we been embarrassed enough? Seems to me a little more respect should be shown for our position!

Mrs. Anthony Kirby: You needn't waste your time trying to protect me. That won't help. If you had any sense, young woman, you'd stay where you belong and stop being ambitious!

Wilbur G. Henderson (Internal Revenue Department):: Mr. Vanderhoff, our records show that you've never paid an income tax.
Grandpa Vanderhoff: That's right.
Wilbur G. Henderson (Internal Revenue Department):: Why not?
Grandpa Vanderhoff: I don't believe in it.
Grandpa Vanderhoff: That's right.
Wilbur G. Henderson (Internal Revenue Department):: Why not?

Wilbur G. Henderson (Internal Revenue Department):: Now Mr. Vanderhoff, that's a very serious thing, not filing an income tax return.
Grandpa Vanderhoff: Well, now suppose I do pay you this money? Mind you, I don't say that I'm going to, but just for the sake of argument -- what's the government going to do with it?
Wilbur G. Henderson (Internal Revenue Department):: What do you mean?
Grandpa Vanderhoff: Well, what do I get for MY money? For instance, if I go into a dept store and buy something, why there it is, I can see it. What are they going to give me?

Anthony P. Kirby: Say, Tony, do you realize there won't be a bullet, gun or cannon made in this country without us?
Tony Kirby: Dad, now don't tell me you've forgotten the sling shot market.
