A scene from The Philadelphia Story 1940
Tracy

They aren't anybody's friends, but we're to pretend they are...Don't ask me, there's a good reason and it's my wedding, so please!

Dinah

I'll bet it's on account of father and that dancer in New York.

Tracy

Watching every little mannerism, jotting down notes on how we sit, stand, talk, and even move...And all in that horrible, snide, corkscrew English. Well, if we have to submit to it to save father's face, which [she covers Dinah's ears] incidentally doesn't deserve it, I'm for giving them a picture of home life that will stand their hair on end.

Margaret

No. Tracy, we must just be ourselves. Very much ourselves.
