- Billie: Would you loan me one of your brassieres?
- Pony: What for?
- Billie: Well you see, I haven't got one and I thought seeing as it's Christmas and everything, and I'm going on a house party and, well, when the maid unpacks my bag and finds I haven't got one, how do you think I'm going to feel?
- Pony: It's like putting a saddle on a pekingese but here it is.
- Mrs. Helen Crawford Radcliff: Do you know what time it is?
- Miss Van Alstyne: It's 4:30.
- Mrs. Helen Crawford Radcliff: Precisely 4:30. One hour from New York and a date for cocktails. I must run. You will forgive me. Take good care of my little girl, won't you? But, you will. I'm always late.
- Miss Van Alstyne: The aim of our school, and we like to believe the achievement, is to prepare young ladies to meet graciously all social demands. You have a sweet smile, my dear, but, another one of our pesky rules: we don't allow lipstick. And we don't smoke. And, naturally, we don't drink.
- Miss Van Alstyne: You'll find we have quite a few rules, my dear. And when you're a little older, you'll understand how necessary they all are.
- Virginia: I hope he can come.
- Pony: Well, why the devil shouldn't he?
- Virginia: Well, Mac's a very busy person. He can't waste his time fooling around with girls like us.
- Pony: And what's the matter with us?
- Virginia: Well, we're not very worthwhile.
- Pony: Well, it's just talk like that that started the Russian Revolution.
- Pony: Do you think we ought to tell Virgie how we're gonna get out of this asylum for potential pick-ups?
- Pony: I've had warts that were easier to get rid of.
- Billie: Going on a weekend party?
- Pony, Madeleine 'Maggy' Kelly, Ruth Wallace: Yes.
- Billie: Going with fellas?
- Pony, Madeleine 'Maggy' Kelly, Ruth Wallace: Yes.
- Billie: Can I go?
- Pony, Madeleine 'Maggy' Kelly, Ruth Wallace: No!
- Ralph McFarland - Interne: You really take this dump seriously, don't you. Maybe you don't realize the world's too busy earning its three squares a day to worry about what fork to eat 'em with. Stick around, sister, because it won't be long before this is an old lady's home.
- Maude - Internes' Receptionist: The trouble with you interns is you've got your mind on osteopathy instead of medicine.
- Ralph McFarland - Interne: Maude, you're just a carnal old woman.
- Instructor: One, two, three, four, attitudinize. Bee-u-t-full, attitudinize. One, two, three, four, attitudinize. Grace is power, attitudinize. One, two, three, four, attitudinize.
- Mrs. Helen Crawford Radcliff: Imagine them sending me a purple dress for a Valentine party. One has to be so careful about purple at my age. You can never tell when someone might mistake it for lavender. Especially with lace on the collar.
- Evelyn - Mrs Radcliff's Maid: Yessum.
- Mrs. Helen Crawford Radcliff: I haven't made up my mind about the green one. Of course, Mrs. Farrow has one almost like it. But, then, she's so huge! She looks like a - like a lawn in hers. I wouldn't look like that, would I?
- Evelyn - Mrs Radcliff's Maid: Yessum.
- Mrs. Helen Crawford Radcliff: Oh, I'd look like a lawn, would I?
- Evelyn - Mrs Radcliff's Maid: Ma'am?
- Mrs. Helen Crawford Radcliff: I wish you'd pay attention when I'm talking. After all, that's what you're paid for.
- Virginia: They said I'm not to be trusted. You trust me, don't you Mac?
- Ralph McFarland - Interne: Of course I do.
- Virginia: I'm not all wrong, am I?
- Ralph McFarland - Interne: No.
- Virginia: I am good. Don't you think?
- Ralph McFarland - Interne: Well, of course, you're good. And your beautiful.
- [kisses Virginia's cheeks]
- Ralph McFarland - Interne: And sweet.
- [long kiss on Virginia's mouth]
- Mrs. Helen Crawford Radcliff: I mustn't cry. I mustn't. Make up. I won't cry. I won't cry. Love is everywhere. Peace.
- Ralph McFarland - Interne: Those two?
- Ralph McFarland - Interne: You mean those two old fluffs could make you want to jump out a window? Honey, where's your sense of humor?
