Term
LILY BELLE: What will she do with them, Doctor?
Definition
Oh, she'll probably eat them.
Term
HANNIBAL: I didn't take them. I don't like bonds.
Definition
(Shrieks) The Queen of Spades! Someone is going to die!
Term
SAVAGE: Everyone off with his clothes!
Definition
My glasses too?
Term
DOCTOR: Hannibal. Don't.
Definition
Don't-do-this-don't-do-that-don't-do-this-don't-do-that. (At LILY BELLE) I understand that you have a lovely tiara. Do you sleep in it?
Term
LILY BELLE: Oh, sit down, you unattractive creature! I've had quite enough!
Definition
I don't like you.
Term
DOCTOR: Will you please sit down and be quiet while we wait.
Definition
Very well. (Hiccups)
Term
FLORENCE: Fairy!
Definition
Excuse me. I'm upset.
Term
SAVAGE: Weren't you listening?
Definition
(Hiccups) Excuse me, please.
Term
SAVAGE: She did and she didn't.
Definition
Oh, this is exciting. I wish we could open a door and have a body fall out!
Term
TITUS: I'll take charge of these.
Definition
Oh look--radio tubes!
Term
WILLIE: I said nothing of the sort.
Definition
This restores my faith in witchcraft.
Term
WILLIE: In the hot-air duct leading to Fairy's room.
Definition
I told you I was cold all winter, and you wouldn't believe me!
Term
DOCTOR: Will you take Mrs. Savage to her room and search her, please?
Definition
No--no--no. Take me, I'm the youngest and undress quickest. (To SAVAGE) Or do you want to draw straws?
Term
SAVAGE: You first, Fairy. I don't want to miss anything.
Definition
Thank you.
Term
WILLIE: Would you like to come with me, Fairy?
Definition
Oh, yes. (Links arms) Do you know that I was once asked to play Lady Godiva for the Elk's Pageant? But I didn't--my mother was afraid of so many Elks.
Term
JEFF: That's not true. I took them. No one else.
Definition
Dr. Emmet! Miss Willie! Something awful is happening. There's a fire upstairs. With flames--this high!
Term
FLORENCE: Fairy--you mustn't--we have company.
Definition
Well, they were--this high at least.
Term
DOCTOR: Fairy--come in and sit there quietly, please.
Definition
But there's a fire. Please believe me--there's a fire upstairs.
Term
DOCTOR: Where?
Definition
In the bathtub.
Term
DOCTOR: Fairy--sit down.
Definition
I can't--I'm full of pins.
Term
FLORENCE: I confess everything.
Definition
There's a fire upstairs.
Term
FLORENCE: I have committed this theft with full knowledge of the stigma involved.
Definition
Something's burning upstairs.
Term
HANNIBAL: No--but I know who did.
Definition
I know a fire when I see one.
Term
HANNIBAL: I'm not sure who took them, but I know it was a woman, and I know it wasn't Mrs. Paddy.
Definition
Oh, fiddle--let the house burn!
Term
SAVAGE: Well, I use Gardenia--what do you use, Fairy?
Definition
No name--I make my own.
Term
HANNIBAL: Smoke.
Definition
High time.
Term
WILLIE: Dr. Emmett, I found a fire in Mrs. Paddy's bathtub.
Definition
I DON'T think I'll speak to anyone!
Term
SAVAGE: Well, the treasure hunt is over. It's all that's left of ten million dollars.
Definition
I should have told a lie--then someone would have believed me.
Term
SAMUEL: We are Savages!
Definition
Good-bye. We say good-bye to people we don't want to see again.
Term
SAVAGE: Don't cry Mrs. Paddy. I'm sure you hate tears too.
Definition
Maybe she thinks her tub is cracked?
Term
WILLIE: I think I'll pack your things--just in case. We can always unpack again.
Definition
You hate us.
Term
SAVAGE: Why do you say that, Fairy?
Definition
You want to leave us.
Term
FLORENCE: Does someone need you?
SAVAGE: No.
Definition
But you can't leave! I haven't had time to get you a going-away present. Maybe I could find a suitable replacement anyhow--it won't be fussy. I'll go look.
Term
FLORENCE: I'd like to see what I can find for you too, Mrs. Savage. Will you wait?
Definition
Oh, fun!--Come on, everybody--let's see what we can find.
Term
JEFF: I have something. I just remembered.
Definition
Don't leave before we get back now--or you won't get anything.
Term
SAVAGE: Never mind, Hannibal. You've had it so long, it has become a part of you.
Definition
Oh! I'm all out of breath! Feel my heart!
Term
SAVAGE: Why Fairy, dear!
Definition
But I found something. I hope you didn't expect much because then you won't be disappointed.
Term
SAVAGE: I won't be disappointed.
Definition
I couldn't find anything to wrap it in except Kleenex. (to HANNIBAL) You can feel my heart too, Hannibal.
Term
SAVAGE: A handkerchief.
Definition
Oh, no! It's a napkin. So many places serve paper napkins. But they blot or smear.
Term
SAVAGE: Bless you, Fairy, I'll take it with me whenever I'm invited out.
Definition
It says "The Cloisters" on it. Wasn't that lucky?
Term
SAVAGE: Florence, you shouldn't have!
Definition
What is it?
Term
SAVAGE: You've gone to too much trouble.
FLORENCE: Oh--it was nothing.
Definition
Is it sterling?
Term
FLORENCE: Fairy, dear, I wouldn't dream of giving Mrs. Savage anything that wasn't sterling.
Definition
Oh--it's dented.
Term
FLORENCE: Really, Fairy! Dents give an antique character.
SAVAGE: Indeed they do.
Definition
Well, I'm not going to say good-bye. I can't stand good-byes. I don't recognize them.
Term
FLORENCE: Oh--you didn't expect us to say good-bye--did you?
SAVAGE: I didn't even expect a salt shaker.
Definition
Well...
Term
FLORENCE: How do you do, Mrs. Savage--we have so looked forward to meeting you.
Definition
We're glad you're here at last. Make yourself at home.
Term
FLORENCE: He was afraid you'd catch his measles if he delivered it himself. Come, Fairy--let's pretend it's Garden Hour.
Definition
Excuse us, please--we have to dig weeds. (Smiles) Take an umbrella--it's raining.
