Gladys GaleQuotes

Mrs. Preston: Did he make advances?

Peggy Preston: He's just a canary without a cage.

Mrs. Preston: Well, I must say. Do you think it's quite proper?

Peggy: I hope you're not shocked.

Mrs. Preston: My baby mustn't leave herself open to wagging tongues. Well, I'd better get dressed for dinner.

Peggy: Oh, I forgot to tell you, mom. You're not well enough to go to dinner tonight.

Mrs. Preston: Well enough?!! I never felt..

Peggy: [Interrupting] Mm mmm! You're a sick woman, Mom. You're having one of your spells.

Mrs. Preston: No such thing. I absolutely refuse.

Peggy: I'm awfully sorry for you, mom. Everybody's sorry. I did so want to leave with Don tonight. But with you laid up in bed...

Mrs. Preston: I'm not in bed. I'll not be a party to any such...

Peggy: [Talking over her.] I'm afraid I'll have to stay around and see some more of that fascinating Sir Guy. He has a way with him, that one.

Nancy Gibson: [Following the sudden and unmistakably furious exit of her sister-in-law Sally Ross, clearly unable to stomach the combined presence of her brother with his new girl friend and would-be mother-in-law] You mustn't mind Mrs. Ross. She's been disappointed in love.

Billy Ross: She has not!

Mrs. Preston: I hope we didn't say anything.

Ross: You haven't said a thing. Sally's always like that when she's in the country.

Mrs. Preston: I like the country. Don't you like the country, Mr. Ross?

Ross: Yes ... when I'm in the city.

Nancy: Oh, here's the tea. Will you pour, Peggy?

Peggy Preston: I suppose I might as well get used to it.

Mrs. Preston: Aren't you having tea, Mr. Ross?

Billy Ross: I never touch it. My doctor tells me it's poison.

Mrs. Preston: Really?

Ross: I'll get you some.
