Elizabeth Imbrie
- Elizabeth Imbrie: Oh it's all right, Tracy. We all go haywire at times and if we don't, maybe we ought to.
- Elizabeth Imbrie: What's this room? I've forgotten my compass.
- Macaulay Connor: I'd say, south-by-southwest parlor-by-living-room.
- Elizabeth Imbrie: We've come for the body of Macaulay Connor.
- C. K. Dexter Haven: I'm so glad you came. Can you use a typewriter?
- Elizabeth Imbrie: No, thanks, I've got one at home.
- Macaulay Connor: [speaking of Tracy] What are her leading characteristics?
- C. K. Dexter Haven: She has a horror of men who wear their hats in the house.
- Elizabeth Imbrie: Leading characteristics to be filled in later.
- Macaulay Connor: I can fill them in right now: the rich, rapacious, American female. There's no other country where she exists.
- Elizabeth Imbrie: And would I change places with Tracy Samantha Lord for all her wealth and beauty? Oh boy just ask me.
- [Mike discovers the intercom in the Lords' house]
- Macaulay Connor: Uh-oh, Liz, what did I tell you? Look, how do you like this - living room, sitting room, terrace, pool, stables.
- Elizabeth Imbrie: That's probably so they can talk to the horses without having them in the house.
- Sidney Kidd: You hate me, I trust, Miss Imbrie.
- Elizabeth Imbrie: No, I-I can't afford to hate anybody. I'm only a photographer.
- Macaulay Connor: C.K. Dexter Haven! What a name tag!
- Elizabeth Imbrie: Macauly Connor is no homespun tag either, my pet.
- Macaulay Connor: Yeah, well you just try calling him Macauly!
- Elizabeth Imbrie: I knew a plain Joe Smith once. Worst rat I ever met.
- Elizabeth Imbrie: I remember your honeymoon quite well. You and she on a little sail boat, the "True Love," wasn't it?
- C. K. Dexter Haven: Yes, it was. How did you know?
- Elizabeth Imbrie: I was the only photographer whose camera you didn't smash. You were terribly nice about it. You threw it in the ocean.
- Macaulay Connor: Oh, one of those.
- C. K. Dexter Haven: Yes, I had the strange notion that our honeymoon was our own.
- Elizabeth Imbrie: There's a cousin, Joanna, who's definitely crazy.
- Macaulay Connor: Who told you that?
- Elizabeth Imbrie: Dinah.
- Macaulay Connor: Well, Dinah would know.
- Tracy Lord: Aren't you coming Liz?
- Elizabeth Imbrie: Well, it seems I've got to commit suicide first.
- Uncle Willie: [leering at Liz] Ah Ms. Imbrie, you're a vision of loveliness. May I offer you a cocktail? Or champagne?
- Elizabeth Imbrie: Oh champagne, I've never had enough.
- Uncle Willie: You will... tonight.
- Macaulay Connor: [telling off Sidney Kidd, his boss] Quote: No hunter of buckshot in the rear is cagey, crafty Connor. Un-quote. Close paragraph.
- Elizabeth Imbrie: Close job. Close bank account.
- [Liz screams as Uncle Willie pinches her on the rear]
- Macaulay Connor: Don't *do* that!
- Elizabeth Imbrie: I... I feel exactly as though I'd been pinched.
- Seth Lord: Don't you think you weren't.
- Macaulay Connor: Look, who's doing the interviewing here?
- Elizabeth Imbrie: Do you think she caught on somehow?
- Macaulay Connor: No, she was born like that, don't let her throw you.
- Elizabeth Imbrie: Do you want to take over?
- Macaulay Connor: I want to go home!
- Macaulay Connor: [after Tracy has declined his last-minute marriage proposal] But they're in there! They're waiting!
- Elizabeth Imbrie: Don't get too conventional all at once, will you? There'll be a reaction.
- Tracy Lord: [turns towards Liz] Maid of honour?
- Elizabeth Imbrie: Matron.
- Macaulay Connor: [looks at Liz, puzzled]
- Elizabeth Imbrie: Joe Smith, hardware department.
