The Awful Truth - Anecdotes of Neighborly Encounters
Aunt Patsy: [''to Lucy'']
Imagine you living right across the hall from us all of this time. He's a stranger in town. He'd take it as being real neighborly of us if we show him some of the bright spots.
Daniel:
We're here on a visit. I'm in oil, you know.
Aunt Patsy:
Marinated, so to speak.
Daniel: [''laughing'']
Say, that's a good one. I gotta remember to tell that to my mother.
Aunt Patsy:
Mr. Leeson. Won't you tell us something about Oklahoma?
Daniel:
Well, Oklahoma's pretty swell. I got quite a ranch down there. I'd like to have you see it sometime, Mrs. Warriner…I got cattle and horses and chickens and alfalfa.

The Awful Truth - Aunt Patsy's Desire for Adventure and Freedom
Aunt Patsy:
You know dozens of men who would turn handsprings at the chance to take you out. Here I've got you all dressed up, ready to go out and you weaken and refuse…I want to go where there's life, and I don't mean plant life. I want to go to the theatre, you know, and go places later and step around and do things…I don't need an escort to get a drink. I'm going down to the bar and see Joe. Bartender or no bartender, he's still a man. Maybe he knocks off early.
Lucy:
Oh, Patty, you wouldn't!
Aunt Patsy: [''Mr. Smith jumps up next to Lucy on the couch'']
I wouldn't, eh? You're talking to a desperate woman. Too bad he can't wear a top-hat.
