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!

Glynnis Payne : [Takes a bite of her eggs] These eggs are positively glacial. When I run this house, senile servants will be the first thing to go.
Clarissa : You'd have to get around the old bat somehow. She'd never allow it.
Jocelyn Dashwood : [Enters the room] Anyone seen my pruning shears? The *old bat* seems to have forgotten where she put them.

Jocelyn Dashwood : [to Daphne] Everybody's rooting for you to fail. That's what makes it fun.

[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!

Jocelyn Dashwood : [to a depressed Henry; after Daphne returns to the United States] Our family has lost a piece of themselves, limbs, eyes, and ears, for their country. Don't follow in that glorious legacy, Henry. Do you know what you're going to lose?... Your Heart.
