imbecile!
i should say you had. at the rate you two are going, we'll have to leave the country to save our faces.
oh, shut up!
dexter, go out and tell those ruffians i have nothing to say.
oh, smythe, some bicarbonate of soda, quick - double strength. i know those news mongrels will upset me.
ahem!
anne!
that's an excellent idea.
what is this person doing here?
get out of here.
you stay right here, michael. some day you'll be head of this family, but thank heaven i shan't be here when it happens. and i hope you never have a daughter who gives you gastritis as anne has me!
oh, isn't there?
it's a good thing your father passed away before he saw insanity ravage the family. i can't imagine what made you do such a thing. a reporter! of all things, a reporter! a barbarian who lets his socks come down!
anne!
young man, i want you to know that i object violently to this whole affair!
i was so worried for fear he'd knock over a vase or something. i must have acted like an idiot.
it was a miracle. the man was ill or something.
i knew it! i knew it! i felt it in my bones!
have you seen this?
i beg your pardon?
to engage in a brawl! a cheap, common brawl, in my own home! "i wear the pants!" the pants ! not even the trousers!
and you struck him right here in our house?
anne schuyler, are you going to sit there and watch this man insult us? haven't you any decency left?
are the cars ready?
what's going on here? who is this woman?
heavens! the man's insane!
