Dialogue
[edit]- Joe Worth: I don't hope to impress you, but I've got to tell you we haven't a farthing.
- Ivan Igor: That is unfortunate.
- Joe Worth: You're right it's unfortunate, 15,000 pounds it's cost me and you say it's unfortunate as though I've spilled soup on my vest.
- Ivan Igor: Your money may have been very well invested you never know, something important may come of all this.
- Joe Worth: Something important has got to come of all this, you know the rent on this place isn't paid?
- Ivan Igor: Is that a fact?
- Joe Worth: No I'm lying to amuse myself.
- Joe Worth: I've got an idea that will get us out of all this, you and I have absolutely no money but we have got this.
- Ivan Igor: Fire insurance? Is this your idea of humor my friend?
- Joe Worth: Yes fire insurance, that's our way out.
- Charlotte Duncan: I can just see it now, you telling the landlady you didn't have the rent, but Ralph was awfully sweet.
- Charlotte Duncan: It just so happens that the poor people are happier.
- Florence: Then marry Ralph, you'll be the happiest couple in the world.
- Charlotte Duncan: I don't know what you're going on about, I don't see any millionaires running after you.
- Florence: Met one last night, all the money this side of Peoria.
- Charlotte Duncan: Who?
- Florence: George Winton of the Park Avenue Wintons.
