• Jane Dana : [Tasting her soup at the dinner table]  Oh, it's hot!

  Sylvia Dana : [to Nancy, who's blowing on her soup]  One does not blow on one's soup.

  Nancy Dana : Oh, doesn't one?

  Oliver Dana : Well, there are several schools of thought in the art of soup cooling. There are the blowers, the fanners, the diluters with ice water, and the wait-til-it-coolers. Now I belong to the old school -- the toughies. We take our soup straight and if it burns us, we just laugh it off, see?

• Sylvia Dana : Father, you really should do something about that child.

  Oliver Dana : What, lock her up? We tried that with you. By the way, whatever became of that butcher boy with adenoids?

  Cora Foster : Oh, he's still got 'em.

• Nancy Dana : [to Sylvia]  One does not read one's book when one's at the dinner table.

  Sylvia Dana : Father, speak to Nancy.

  Oliver Dana : Hello, Nancy.
