...not as much as I am in the metamorphic or sedimentary rock categories. I mean I can take your igneous rocks or leave them. I relate primarily to micas, quartz, feldspar. You can keep your pyroxenes, magnetites and coarse-grained plutonics as far as I'm concerned...

Eunice: Howard! Howard Bannister! Howard, when I ask for you to wait for me somewhere I expect you to stay there until I come back.
Howard: Yes, Eunice.
Eunice: Now, it is difficult enough for me to have to see to all these arrangements myself...
Howard: Yes, Eunice.
Eunice: It is exactly 6:15. If we reach the hotel in half an hour, we'll have just enough time to get ready for the banquet.
Howard: Yes, Eunice.
Eunice: [to the airport attendant] Put these things in a taxi.
Airport Attendant Yes, Eunice.
Howard: Yes, Eunice.

Eunice: Where have you been?
Howard: I had a little trouble in the drug store.
Judy: Steve, you didn't tell me you were married.
Howard: We're not married.
Judy: Congratulations.
Eunice: But we will be soon.
Judy: Condolences.
Eunice: [to Howard] Who is this person?
Howard: I haven't the vaguest idea. She was behind a rock in the drug store.
Judy: Oh come on Steve, you can tell her about us.
Eunice: Why is she calling you that name?
Howard: Don't pay any attention to her, Eunice. [turning to Judy] Look, Miss Maxwell--
Eunice: You know her name.
Howard: Eunice, I swear this is a bizarre joke.
Judy: Sure, it's easy for you, everywhere you go, another heart broken--women, women, women. You call it joking. Eunice and I, we call it lust.
Eunice: Don't you know the meaning of propriety?
Judy: Propriety? Noun. Conformity to established standards of behavior or manners, suitability, rightness, or justice. See "etiquette."

Fritz: Young miss, may I help you please?
Judy: Yes, I was wondering if my friends are still here. They're visiting from the um... New Hebrides and I believe they're in Room 1717.
Fritz: I'm sorry, but that room is vacant.
Judy: I don't understand. They told me they would be in Room 1717 at the Hotel Crystal.
Fritz: This is the Bristol, madam, not the Crystal.
Judy: Then one of us must be in the wrong hotel.

Mr Kaltenborn: No, I don't think so. I'm Mr Kaltenborn, the manager of what's left of the hotel.

Judy Maxwell: [Talking so Howard can hear]: No, no. I'm a transfer student. No, not the University -- the Conservatory of Music. It's in Ames. You never heard of it? Well, it's a small conservatory, but there are those who love it. There's a professor there whom I hope to be studying with. A brilliant man by the name of Howard Bannister. No, Bannister. As in: sliding down the. You never heard of him? Yeah, that's right! The nut with the rocks! What's up, Doc?
Howard: Did you know that I love you?
Judy Maxwell: Yes.
Howard: You did? Do?
Judy Maxwell: Listen, kiddo. You can't fight a tidal wave.
[They kiss]
Howard: About those things. I mean, the way I acted back there. I'm sorry.
Judy Maxwell: Let me tell you something. Love means never having to say you're sorry.
Howard: That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard.
