Colonel
[after Charles announces his intent to propose to Jean]
Well, it was the last thing that entered my mind. Bless my soul. Let's have a drink on that...I'm all emotional. To say that I am thunderstruck is an understatement. She'll probably turn you down, but anyway...
Charles
I intend to make her as happy as I can.
Colonel
She asks very little.
Charles
I suppose you know I'm very rich.
Colonel
Aren't we all?
Charles
I'm sorry in a way because it would be so pleasant to buy lovely non-sensities for somebody who never had them.
Colonel
Wouldn't it? That's the tragedy of the rich. They don't need anything.
