Quotes 

  • Miranda Sampson : Why so fast, Harper? You trying to impress me?

    Lew Harper : You got a way of starting conversations that ends conversation.

    Miranda Sampson : Why is your wife divorcing you?

    Lew Harper : You got a way of starting conversations that ends conversation.

  • Miranda Sampson : What do you do this kind of crummy work for, anyway?

    Lew Harper : What, are you trying to be funny? I do it because I believe in the United Nations and Southeast Asia, and - you think it's funny if your life depends on what goes through the Panama Canal? What about the English pound? I'll tell you something - as long as there's a Siberia, you'll find Lew Harper on the job.

    Miranda Sampson : Are you putting me on?

    Lew Harper : Jeez, I don't think so.

  • Miranda Sampson : Don't you ever feel the need to relax? Let's relax some, Harper.

    Lew Harper : For what? So the beauty in the next room is gonna get all hot and bothered? Lady, if you can't get him hot and bothered by yourself, I sure ain't gonna do it for you.

    Miranda Sampson : Don't you think I'm attractive?

    Lew Harper : You're young, rich, and beautiful, and my wife is divorcing me. What do you think I think?

    Miranda Sampson : I think you want to relax.

  • Lew Harper : Stop acting like a bitch in heat every time anything pretty in pants wanders by.

    Miranda Sampson : Oh, so we think we're pretty.

  • Miranda Sampson : My stepmother, Lady Macbeth, is always going to extremes.

    Lew Harper : Meaning me, Miss Sampson? I'm a very moderate-type fellow.

    Miranda Sampson : Not you, especially. *Everything* she does is extreme. Other women fall off horses without getting paralyzed. Not Elaine. I think it's psychological, don't you

    Allan Taggert, Sampson's Pilot : You've been reading too many books.

    Miranda Sampson : That's something they'll never accuse *you* of. She's not a raving beauty anymore.

    Lew Harper : [disinterested]  Can I have a sandwich?

    Miranda Sampson : Yes. So she retired from competition. Falling off the horse gave her the chance to do it. For all I know, she did it intentionally. And you've got to admit, it's pretty extreme, hiring a private detective when your husband's been gone just one night.

  • Miranda Sampson : Well, what's *your* big deficiency?

    Lew Harper : I have none - I'm a bloody saint.

    Miranda Sampson : Yeah, what about that woman last night at the restaurant?

    Lew Harper : What could be more saintly? Just feeding booze to an alcoholic to get information... all part of the job.

  • Miranda Sampson : [as they're driving up a winding, mountain dirt road]  Well, when I'm bored, I drive fast. I pretend I'm on my way to meet something utterly new, all naked and bright. I've gone 105 along here.

    Lew Harper : Oh, what are you trying to do, impress me?

    Miranda Sampson : Well, why don't you stand on it, old man? You're just as stuffy as Albert. The same Victorian hang-up. You probably still think a woman's place is in the home.

    Lew Harper : Not in my *home*.

  • Miranda Sampson : You have such and advantage in emotional scenes, Elaine - being frigid.

    Elaine Sampson : Puss, puss, puss. Did Alan brush you off again?

    Miranda Sampson : You simpy, primping, narcissistic... .

    Elaine Sampson : Either I'm a narcissist or I'm frigid pussy. I can't very well be both.

    Lew Harper : [clears throat]  Excuse me, ladies.

    [walks away] 

    Elaine Sampson : Why are you living? It's so attractive here.

  • Miranda Sampson : Well, you can fly Mr. Harper there or you can stay here with me.

    Allan Taggert, Sampson's Pilot : I'll fly. It'll keep me from getting bored.

  • Miranda Sampson : Daddy keeps a lot of clothes at the bungalow. He likes to be able to pick up fast. So do I.

  • Miranda Sampson : You work hard, you know that?

    Lew Harper : Yep. Regular beaver.

  • Albert Graves : Miranda? Hello, Miranda. Miranda's coming. How are you?

    Miranda Sampson : Suicidal. I just had the nicest chat with stepmommy.

  • Miranda Sampson : Hey, Harper, what do you think of me?

    Lew Harper : Well, I'd say you had nearly everything and could develop into almost anything.

  • Elaine Sampson : I should think you'd be accustomed to not being loved by now.

    Miranda Sampson : I love your wrinkles. I revel in them.

    Elaine Sampson : Puss, puss, puss.
