A Letter to Three Wives

Mrs. Finney:
Can't we have peace in this house even on New Year's Eve?

Sadie:
You got it mixed up with Christmas. New Year's Eve is when people go back to killing each other.

Mrs. Finney:
"Good night, Mother dear, and don't wait up." If a daughter of mine ever really talked like that I'd cut her tongue out!

Addie Ross:
She won't stay mad at him for long. She's too much in love. Pretty soon she'll be full of self-reproach. Ha ha! Women are so silly.

Porter Hollingsway:
It's a man's world. Yeah! See something you want, go after it and get it! That's nature. It's why we're made strong and women weak. Strong conquer and provide for the weak. That's what a man's for! Teach our kids that, there'd be more men!

Sadie:
The cap's out. Makes me look like a lamb chop with pants on.

Sadie:
Look, I don't teach you about teachin'. Don't teach me about ducks.

Rita Phipps:
Pardon my fingers.
