Auntie Mame - A Ping-Pong Tournament's Unexpected Turn
Gloria Upson: [[Trading Places#Others|I stepped on the ping-pong ball]
Bunny Bixler and I were in the semi-finals—the very semi-finals, mind you—of the ping-pong tournament at the club and this ghastly thing happened. We were both playing way over our heads and the score was 29-28. And we had this really terrific volley and I stepped back to get this really terrific shot. And ]! I just squashed it to bits. And then Bunny and I ran to the closet of the game room to get another ping-pong ball and the closet was locked! Imagine? We had to call the whole thing off. Well, it was ghastly. Well, it was just ghastly.

The Parent Trap - Understanding Relationships Between Generations
Vicky Robinson:
You're a big girl now, Susan. You're old enough to understand that wonderful, delicate mystery that happens sometimes between a man and a woman.
Sharon McKendrick:
I know what wonderful, delicate mystery Daddy sees in you. And I can't say I blame him there, either. You're very nicely put together.
Vicky Robinson:
Your father underestimates you, I think.
Sharon McKendrick:
I'm sure you won't, will you, Vicky?
Vicky Robinson:
Susan, dear, you've had him to yourself all this time, and I can understand that suddenly to have another woman around, well, it's a tremendous intrusion. But all my life, it seemed, I've hoped and waited for someone like him: someone gentle and mature, rough-edged, but quick to laugh, someone understanding and wise. All the things that I've come to love and cherish in him.
Sharon McKendrick:
Well, that's very refreshing.
Vicky Robinson:
Why, dear?
Sharon McKendrick:
Most girls just run after Daddy because he's so wealthy.
Vicky Robinson: [angrily]
Are you inferring that I'd marry your father for his money?
Sharon McKendrick:
If the shoe fits, wear it!
Vicky Robinson:
Look, pet. I've tried to be friendly, but I'm going to marry your father, so you get used to the idea!
Sharon McKendrick:
You wanna bet?
Vicky Robinson:
Oh, honey, don't you play with the big girls. You'll be in way over your head.
