He believed in Love . . . Honor . . . and Obey - That Impulse!

Quotes:

Henry Van Cleve: [voiceover] Here was a girl lying to her mother. Naturally that girl interested me at once.

His Excellency: If you meet our requirements, we'll be only too glad to accomodate you. Uh, would you be good enough to mention, for instance, some outstanding crime you've committed?::Henry Van Cleve: Crime? Crime? I'm afraid I can't think of any, but I can safely say my whole life was one continuous misdemeanor.

Mademoiselle: In your papa's time, papa kiss mama and zen marry. But this is 1887! Time of bicycle, the typewriter est arrive, soon everybody speak over ze telephone, and people have new idea of value of kiss. What was bad yesterday is lot of fun today. There is a wonderful saying in France: "Les baisers sont comme des bonbons qu'on mange parce qu'ils sont bons." This mean: "Kiss is like candy. You eat candy only for the beautiful taste, and this is enough reason to eat candy."::Henry Van Cleve: You mean I can kiss a girl once...::Mademoiselle: Ten times! Twenty times! And no obligation.

Martha: Oh, Henry, I know your every move. I know your outraged indignation. I know the poor weeping little boy. I know the misunderstood, strong, silent man, the wounded lion who's too proud to explain what happened in the jungle last night.

His Excellency: Sometimes it looks as if the whole world is coming to Hell.

Henry Van Cleve: I know I should change my way of living but, my boy, put yourself in my position. I'm lonesome. You're always away somewhere on business, and being alone in this big old house night after night... you don't know what it's like.::Jack Van Cleve, Henry's Son: Neither do you, because you're never at home.::Henry Van Cleve: But I can IMAGINE what it's like, and, Jack, it's horrible

Randolph Van Cleve: Believe me, Bertha, I never knew what a musical comedy girl looked like.::Bertha Van Cleve: Well, what can he possibly derive from their company?::Randolph Van Cleve: To me they were creatures from another planet.::Bertha Van Cleve: Where does he get it from? Nobody in our family was musical.::Randolph Van Cleve: To this day I wouldn't know how to find the stage entrance to a theatre.::Hugo Van Cleve: It's always around in the back, up an alleyway. There's a sign over the door: 'Stage Entrance.' You can't miss it.

Henry Van Cleve, Age 9: Hello Mary.::Mary, Age 9: Don't speak to me, Henry Van Cleve. You're a bad boy and my mother says I shouldn't talk to bad boys.::Henry Van Cleve, Age 9: I betcha you don't know what I've got in this box.::Mary, Age 9: And I'm not interested, Henry Van Cleve.::Henry Van Cleve, Age 9: Then I won't tell ya it's a beetle.::Mary, Age 9: A beetle!::Henry Van Cleve, Age 9: D'ya like it?::Mary, Age 9: Oh, who doesn't like beetles!::Henry Van Cleve, Age 9: It's yours.::Mary, Age 9: Thank you! Oh, thank you, Henry. I wonder if I should take it?::Henry Van Cleve, Age 9: Well, if you don't want it.::Mary, Age 9: Oh, I don't mean it that way, I was just wondering...::Henry Van Cleve, Age 9: Don't worry, I've got another one.::Mary, Age 9: Another beetle?::Henry Van Cleve, Age 9: Uh-huh.::Mary, Age 9: Oh, it's beautiful. It looks rather lonely, though. You know what I think, I think it wants to be together with mine.::Henry Van Cleve, Age 9: You mean you want this one, too?::Mary, Age 9: Henry Van Cleve, do you think I'm the kind of girl who would take a boy's last beetle?

Henry Van Cleve: And it's a father's function to save his son from the mistakes he made.

Henry Van Cleve: Martha, if I hadn't met you I'd hate to think where I'd be right now.::Martha: Well, probably outside some stage door, or even inside the dressing room, and having a wonderful time.
