Mame: What's wrong with that? Agnes Gooch: Will it mix with Dr. Pepper? Mame: He'll love it! Drink! Well, now, uh, read me all the words you don't understand. Patrick Dennis: Libido, inferiority complex, stinko, blotto, free love, bathtub gin, monkey glands, Karl Marx... is he one of the Marx Brothers? Patrick Dennis: ...Neurotic, heterosexual... Mame Dennis: Oh, my my my my, what an eager little mind. [takes the list] Mame Dennis: You won't need some of these words for months and months. | |

Run along to Ito and tell him to bring me a light breakfast - black coffee and a side car. Oh, oh. And a cold towel for your Auntie Vera. Patrick Dennis: Is she in the guest room again? Auntie Mame: Since Sunday, dear. Now run along to Ito and hurry my tray, darling. Your Auntie needs fuel. [talking to her relatives] 'afternoon to y'all! Vultures! Sally Cato: Now Mrs. Burnside, I hope you don't think of me as a vulture! Mrs. Burnside: Oh, no, Sally Cato! You're not a vulture, you're just a dead pidgeon! For nine years, Mame Dennis Burnside, I have done everything in my power to protect this boy from your idiotic, cockeyed nincompoopery. Hot damn! My sister's gonna bust a gut! That's a B.

I never knew they did it all with rubber bands. Please dear, your Auntie Mame is hung. If you kept your hair natural like I do... Auntie Mame: If I kept my hair natural like yours, I'd be bald. [Mame has just gotten fired from Macy's] Don't forget the skates for the little nippers. Get 'em at Gimble's! Spitting distance? How vivid! Exclusively what and restricted to whom? Bunny Bixler and I were in the semi-finals - the very semi-finals, mind you - of the ping-pong tournament at the club and this ghastly thing happened. We were both playing way over our heads and the score was 29-28. And we had this really terrific volley and I stepped back to get this really terrific shot. And I stepped on the ping-pong ball! I just squashed it to bits. And then Bunny and I ran to the closet of the game room to get another ping-pong ball and the closet was locked! Imagine? We had to call the whole thing off. Well, it was ghastly. Well, it was just ghastly. [to Mame regarding her loud, jingly bracelets] What the HELL have you got back there, reindeer? [to Patrick who has unleashed sunlight on a very hung-over Mame] Child, how can you see with all that light? [to the electrical contractor regarding Vera Charles] It's the "First Lady of the American Thee-ayter" out cold in the guestroom. Ms. Charles don' live here.

[before a fox-hunt] Well? Shall we to the hounds? Auntie Mame: [muttered] Yeah, I'd love to meet your family. I got this recipe from a bartender I met in Havana.

[brightly] Auntie Mame: Chocolate ice cream! | |
