Quotes 

• Sam Bissell : He took a shower?

  Minerva Bissell : Well, of course. Didn't you take a shower at Janet's?

  Sam Bissell : No, I didn't take a shower at Jan... What do you think I am? Some kind of a sex maniac?

• Minerva Bissell : Isn't it wonderful. Sam is so clever with his hands. I just love it. Sam, it's a new work of art.

  Edna : I don't know a thing about art. I just know what I don't like.

• Minerva Bissell : Wait a minute. Of course! There's a very simple way to get Sam across to your house without being seen.

  Sam Bissell : Well, what are you going to do? Shoot me out of a cannon, dear?

  Minerva Bissell : Don't be silly, dear. We don't even have a cannon.

• Minerva Bissell : Now, if that man shows up tonight, be careful. Don't fight him.

  Sam Bissell : No, don't worry. I'm not afraid of him.

  Minerva Bissell : I know. But, just be careful.

  [kiss] 

  Sam Bissell : Good night, love.

  Minerva Bissell : Now, isn't this awful. Here I am kissing you good night and you're going across to spend the night with another woman. A very attractive woman. Be careful!

  Sam Bissell : I told you, I'm not afraid of him.

  Minerva Bissell : I don't mean him, I mean her!

• Howard Ebbets : Say, he's sensitive, isn't he?

  Minerva Bissell : Very! He's creative.

• Howard Ebbets : Do you have any mambo records?

  Minerva Bissell : And cha-cha!

  Howard Ebbets : Oh, cha-cha too! That's great!

• Minerva Bissell : Howie and I are gonna play cards. He's really a lot of fun, Sam.

  Sam Bissell : I bet. What kind of cards?

  Minerva Bissell : Honeymoon bridge.

• Sam Bissell : Has he made a pass at you yet? Well, has he or hasn't he? Well, don't just give me a look. It's not such a ridiculous question! For your information, he is known to be highly oversexed!

  Minerva Bissell : Now?

  Sam Bissell : Well, I don't say he takes ads; but, his own wife told me and it made me sick when she did! He's disgusting. Can you imagine what it must be like to be married to a man like that? She's sexually normal.

  Minerva Bissell : Oh?

• Minerva Bissell : You know what I miss the most?

  Sam Bissell : What?

  Minerva Bissell : My feet get so cold.

• Minerva Bissell : Of all the silly things for me to do. After being married to you all these years. I couldn't walk out on you, my baby. I'm so used to your silly face, your goofy ways.
