Eve Peabody: You're magnificent.

Helene Flammarion: You're talking across the board.

Eve Peabody: When I married, I didn't realize that in the Czerny family there was a streak of... shall we say, eccentricity? And yet, I had warning. Why else should his grandfather have sent me, as an engagement present, one roller skate - covered with Thousand Island dressing?

Jacques Picot: [Shocked] What?

Jacques Picot: I'm terribly sorry. It's difficult to concentrate on cards... sometimes.

Eve Peabody: [Referring to Jacques' dislike of Helene's feathered hat] Naturally, when you're worrying about the future of the ostrich plume.

Helene Flammarion: I don't think that's very funny.
