Quote context

[...]

- Oh, Ned, Julia, nearly time for lunch, isn't it?

- In the meantime, Mr. Seton, I think that Mr. Sloan or Mr. Hobson might say a good word for me.

- I'm quite decent and fairly civilized, and I love your daughter very much, which isn't a bit hard.

- She seems to like me a lot too, and... well, that's about all that can be said for me, except that I think we have a grand chance of being awfully happy.

- Oh, so do I.

- Come on, Father, be an angel.

- I'm afraid the matter is too important to be decided offhand.

- But I want to be married...

- You will be married, Julia, when I have come to a favorable decision, and on a day which I shall name.

- But our plan was the tenth.

- The tenth is out of the question.

- Oh, but, Father...

- Yes, Henry?

- Luncheon, sir.

- Mr. Seton, I...

- Luncheon, Mr. Chase.

- A very interesting necktie you have.

- Thank you.

- I have a haberdasher who's made my ties for a good many years, and that particular pattern I seem to recognize.

- Possibly, sir, because this happens to be your necktie. Ned and I thought it might bring me luck.

Mother had always wanted me to go to a big Eastern college, so I worked my way through Harvard. I ran an eating joint and a laundry. In vacations I worked in a steel mill and an automobile factory. One summer I drove a garbage truck.
And of course you've heard about me. I'm the black sheep. -Baaa! -That's a goat.
You know, this reminds me a little of the palace of the Emperor Caligula. You remember Caligula, don't you, dear? -Oh, very well indeed. Whatever became of him?
