Quote context

[...]

- She should have realized that Father couldn't announce my engagement without some sort of fuss.

- She should have, yes, but unlike me, Linda always hopes.

- Bottoms up to Linda.

- Oh, Ned, now please. You've been drinking steadily since eight o'clock.

- Yes, funny old Ned. On New Year's Eve too.

- Johnny, try to stop him.

- Darling sister, I shall drink as much as I like at any party I agree to attend. And as much as I like is as much as I can hold. It's my protection against your tiresome friends.

- Linda's out of luck. She hasn't any protection.

- Robert, another highball, please.

- Ned... take it easy.

- Aye, aye, sir.

- The name, sir?

- The name is Potter, Professor Nicholas Potter.

- And wife Susan.

- We were invited.

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?
