Lila's back in New York. I got a letter from her yesterday.
What happened to her millionaire?
Slight mistake there. He didn't own millions, he owed them.
Poor girl. Always straying to greener pastures and finding spinach.

Holiday Inn quotes
My father was a lot like you, just a man with a family. Never amounted to much, didn't care. But as long as he was alive, we always had plenty to eat and clothes to keep us warm.
Were you happy?
Yes.
Then your father was a very successful man.
How'd he get that far in five minutes?
The lady must have been willing.
The world can't do this to us!
Lila Dixon [about Jim]
He gets a look.
He always has that look! It doesn't mean anything emotionally. It has something to do with his... liver.
Lila Dixon I love you... and Jim.
Well, I love Jim too... but let's not get too chummy.
What would you like?
Orchids, the finest you've got.
Corsage?
No, no. A dozen, loose, looking like they don't care!
You better go inside, it's cold and you don't have a coat... [gently pushes him] Go on.

Come out and relax on a farm, music, dancing, home cooking. Open holidays only. [skeptical] Open holiday's only? Say, how many of them are there?
I like it here... with you and Linda.
And we love having you. When are you leaving?
[about winning Linda back]
You could melt her heart right down to butter, if you'd only turn on the heat!
[trying to describe Linda]
She was sort of a medium built, medium height. With a nice evening gown on with a belt in the back. She's sorta built like the girl I knew from the corner drugstore who used to play pinball. Conshwella Schlepkiss. I remember she was high man three weeks in a row.
A gentle smile often breeds a kick in the pants.
I'm dreaming of a white Chhristmas, Just like the ones I used to know.
If I'm not the best manager in the business, I'll eat a garage mechanic's shirt!
