Mrs Upson had two fur coats and two chins. Mr Upson had two chins, two passions-gold and business-and two aversions, Roosevelt and Jews.
Golly! Long pants, at last!
And what does Mr. Gooch do?
Oh, my father passed on!
Mrs. Burnside, you could practically write a whole book about what happened to me.
Miss Charles, I loved you in Mary of Scotland.
That was Helen Hayes.
Were his days a little dull?
Were his nights a little wild?
Did I overstate my plan?
Did I stress the man
And forget the child?
And there must have been a million things
That my heart forgot to say.
Would I think of one or two,
If he walked into my life today?
love this thread...
Agnes Gooch: Oh, no! Spirits do the most horrible thing to me. I'm not the same person!
And Little Glory....
'Spitting distance'? How vivid.
Oooh, I'd say somewhere between forty... and death.
Yes, I know it's from MAME. But, I can't resist.
...and,
Fix the Astor in the maze with an animal guy.

"Do you like gin?"
"Oh I adore it!"
"Good. After dinner, we'll get out the cards and play a few rounds."
Thanks joeyjoe! I wanted to share that one but couldn't quite get it right. :)
Gooch: "Will it mix with Dr. Pepper?"
Mame: "He'll LOVE IT!"

Glorie - "You could practically write a book about what happened to ME, Mrs. Burnside. We were in the semi-finals, the VERY semi-finals, of the ping-pong tournament at the club when this GHASTLY thing happened. The score was 29 to 28, and we were playing way over our heads when I reached back for this really TERRIFIC shot and I stepped on the ping-pong ball.
Why, I just crushed it to bits!
And we went to the equipment locker to get a new one and the closet was locked. We had to call the whole. thing. off.
Well, it was ghastly!
It was just. ghastly!"
Vera - "Hmmm mmm... funny..."
Mame - "uh, what is?"
Vera - "YOUR story"
