• Daphne Reynolds : [to Clarissa]  My evil stepsister, you've seen Cinderella, right? Let me clue you in, I win.

• Clarissa : Oh, very you, lovely. So Henry asked us to give you a few pointers, didn't he? Well, pointer number 1: go home. Mother and I belong here and it's quite clear you just don't fit in. And pointer number 2: while you're packing, keep your grimy little Yankee paws off Armistead Stuart, he's mine.

  Daphne Reynolds : If you take your nose out of the air for one second you'll see you're designer, I'm vintage. You've got a mansion, I've got a five floor walkup. You're a snotty little miss cranky pants and I go with the flow, so why would you ever think for one second that I'd ever have the same taste in guys? So here's a little pointer for you. Get over yourself and stop trying to be my daddy's little girl because I'm not going anywhere.

• Henry Dashwood : I'm not explaining this very well, am I?

  Daphne Reynolds : No, not really. But I'm having fun watching you try.

• Henry Dashwood : Sorry, did you just say you've known about this your whole life?

  Daphne Reynolds : Yeah?

  Jocelyn Dashwood : Good. Well, now we've got that settled... How about some tea and a nice piece of fruitcake?

  Henry Dashwood : But your mother didn't feel I deserved the same consideration?

  Jocelyn Dashwood : [Quietly]  No to the fruitcake, then.

  Henry Dashwood : [shouts]  How could she keep something like this from me?

  Glynnis Payne : Excuse me, but what happened to the mistake theory we were operating on a moment ago?

  Daphne Reynolds : [Daphne turns to leave] 

  Jocelyn Dashwood : No, wait a minute, Ducky!

• Henry Dashwood : You like Coco Puffs?

  Daphne Reynolds : It's chocolate! Need I say more?

• Henry Dashwood : For me, it's just a stop on the campaign trail, and for Glynnis it's a chance to launch Clarissa on society.

  Daphne Reynolds : Launch her? You make her sound like a ship.

  Henry Dashwood : No, in Clarissa's case it's more like an intercontinental ballistic missile.

• Daphne Reynolds : [seeing her mother's outfit]  Are you actually wearing a bra?

• Henry Dashwood : I hope you find you sleeping arrangements conducive to...

  Daphne Reynolds : Henry, all it takes is sweet dreams.

• Daphne Reynolds : Every year I would wish if that I was good enough you would come and find me.

• Daphne Reynolds : [to Ian]  I better go. Everyone's just waiting for me to mess up again.

• [Regarding Henry Dashwood's familiy mansion] 

  Daphne Reynolds : It's bigger than our entire apartment and the Chinese restaurant downstairs and the dry cleaner down the street; it makes the White House look like a McDonalds!

• Daphne Reynolds : [after everything has happened]  The truth is sometimes things aren't exactly what you always imagined... they're even better!

• Daphne Reynolds : Let's get the party started!

  Ian : No.

  Daphne Reynolds : Come on, why not?

  Ian : Well, first of all I could get fired; and second of all, I could get fired!

  Daphne Reynolds : Oh come on!

  Ian : No. No, no!

  Daphne Reynolds : Wimp.

  Ian : No. No!

  Daphne Reynolds : For me?

  [bats eyelashes flirtatiously] 

  Ian : [grins]  Okay. Let's do it.

• Glynnis Payne : Darling, we have to get Lubby here an escort.

  Daphne Reynolds : It's Libby, and why doesn't he just ask her himself?

• Daphne Reynolds : I had you down as an all bran man.

• Daphne Reynolds : Hey! What are you doing here?

  Ian : You know, just another one of my glamourous jobs.

  Daphne Reynolds : Oh.

• Ian : Looking for me?

  Daphne Reynolds : Oh, no. I was just looking for the loo!

  Ian : Outside? On the terrace?

  Daphne Reynolds : [Mouths]  Oh.

• Daphne Reynolds : [to Armistead Stuart]  You know, I really wish you would pull your lip over your head and swallow it.

• [Daphne and Jocelyn are at a upper-class coming out party] 

  Jocelyn Dashwood : Head up, Daphne. And never forget the family motto.

  Daphne Reynolds : Family motto? What is it?

  Jocelyn Dashwood : Qui Patitur Vincit.

  Daphne Reynolds : What does that mean?

  Jocelyn Dashwood : It means, ducky... Hang in there, and yeah'll rock!

• Libby Reynolds : I love you a million Swedish Fish.

  Daphne Reynolds : I love you a million red M&M's.

• Henry Dashwood : I don't remember the last time I went barefoot.

  Daphne Reynolds : Don't you just love squiggling your toes in the sand? Did you know it's a natural exfoliant? Mom says if you can walk on a beach, and you have a steady hand with nail polish, there's no reason to ever pay for a pedicure.

• Armistead Stuart : Women are just drawn to me. It's something I happen to be blessed with. An Indefinable quality that just relaxes them, fascinates them. You're feeling it now, aren't you, Dabney?

  Daphne Reynolds : It's Daphne.

  Armistead Stuart : [Moves his hand to her lower back] 

  Daphne Reynolds : And let me guess, you're feeling it in my backside?

  [Pulls his hand back up] 

• Daphne Reynolds : [looks at the tiara]  It's so royal.

• Daphne Reynolds : [Daphne is dancing/running through the house in shorts, socks and a sweatshirt. She takes a croissant from a tray carried by Percy, the butler as she darts past him]  Thanks, Percy!

  Percy : [following after her; referring to the tray he's holding]  Your lunch, Miss Daphne!
