  Cecelia Grayson : Approach, nothing. You've arrived!

• Brooks Mason : I'm afraid it wouldn't work. In a few weeks you'll be going back to the mainland to go on with your dancing, your career; and I'll be left here with a memory and a few pineapples.

  Cecelia Grayson : We'll work it out some way, darling.

• Cecelia Grayson : We had a quarrel and I told him he was a dull, stupid, naive farmer. So, he went to Hollywood - to become a man.

  Mr. Horace Grayson : To become a man. Well, nobody's going to spend my money on movie actresses! Unless, it's me.
