- 'Granny' Whitman: What male doesn't?
- 'Granny' Whitman: You know the only thing that puzzles me is why the good Lord invented such beautiful things as the trees and the flowers and birds - and then had to go invent sex!
- Titus Jaywood: It's always been a pet theory of mine that men are more moral than women.
- 'Granny' Whitman: Ha!
- 'Granny' Whitman: [sternly] Ellen, obey your mother.
- Ellen Murray: [sternly] I won't!
- 'Granny' Whitman: All right, then don't.
- 'Granny' Whitman: [to Ann in truly wanting Ellen to do what is in her heart] There, I've done all I can. Now you'll have to handle it.
- Connie Nevins: I suppose you think I'm a meddlesome old auntie.

- Connie Nevins: Oh, just call me Connie. I've had so many last names, it's the only one I'm sure to answer to.
