Quotes 

• Linus Larrabee : [after he has sent Sabrina, presumably with David, back to Paris]  David, where's Sabrina? You didn't go with her?

  David Larrabee : Well obviously not, Linus, I mean, here I am, right? She's probably having her beverage service right about now.

  Mrs. Ingrid Tyson : Who's Sabrina?

  Patrick Tyson : The chauffeur's daughter!

  Linus Larrabee : Don't call her that!

  [David looks at him in amusement] 

  Elizabeth Tyson, MD : She was after David for a while, then apparently she switched to Linus. She seems to have decided that HE was the one with the power.

  Linus Larrabee : [outraged, pointing to David]  Is THAT what he told you?

  Elizabeth Tyson, MD : He told me everything, Linus.

  Linus Larrabee : [to David]  And you didn't see her before she left? You didn't talk to her?

  David Larrabee : Oh, sure, I said goodbye, and I think I wished her luck. Maybe not. I told her I felt kind of funny accepting my brother's hand-me-downs

  [Maude covers her mouth to keep from smiling] 

  David Larrabee : , and I said don't take it personally, and you've always been generous to your women in the past, and I was sure she'd be more than compensated for... whatever!

  [Linus punches him] 

  David Larrabee : See! I told you! He loves her!

  Mrs. Ingrid Tyson : Who?

  Patrick Tyson : Sabrina!

  David Larrabee : [touching his mouth]  Is he packed?

  Mack : Yes.

  Linus Larrabee : Is who packed?

  Mack : You are. Just one bag.

  Linus Larrabee : [flustered]  Wait a minute, you - you packed my clothes? You went to my apartment?

  Maude Larrabee : I took her!

  Mack : We were up to our elbows in your underwear drawer; it was like touching the Shroud of Turin.

  David Larrabee : Here, sign this. It's your authorization for the completion of the merger. AND this - it gives me the raise I deserve for the new position I'm assuming. There's a car waiting for you downstairs, a helicopter at East 60th... the plane ticket's been changed to the Concorde. It leaves in exactly 39 minutes. If you make it, you just might beat her there.

  [Linus turns away in thought] 

  Elizabeth Tyson, MD : Go, Linus! Don't think!

  Linus Larrabee : [hesitantly]  She... she must absolutely hate me!

  Maude Larrabee : She'll get over it. We all do... Linus, you know I love you. No mother could be prouder. But I think it's time that you ran away from home.

  David Larrabee : But sign these first.

  [Linus signs the forms and clasps David's shoulder] 

  Linus Larrabee : If you'll excuse me... it appears I have a previous engagement.

  [leaves] 

• Maude Larrabee : David, you're like my own son.

  David Larrabee : I am your own son, Mother.

  Maude Larrabee : Exactly! Now, I endured twenty-one hours of hard labor to bring you into the world. The doctors begged me to take drugs, but I kept saying I wouldn't do anything to hurt my child. Well, I've changed my mind - you screw up with Elizabeth and I swear I'll kill you.

• Maude Larrabee : I feel terrible.

  Linus Larrabee : Take a pill.

  Maude Larrabee : Watch it. I'm still your mother.

  Linus Larrabee : And you taught me everything I know.

  Maude Larrabee : I didn't teach you this.

• Maude Larrabee : Did Elizabeth pick out her dress yet?

  Mrs. Ingrid Tyson : We're still working on the guest list. Six hundred so far, and that's just on our side!

  Patrick Tyson : That's not a wedding, it's a town.

  Mrs. Ingrid Tyson : Stop, it's going to be wonderful! Elegant but simple, lavish but tasteful...

  Patrick Tyson : Cheap but expensive.

• [Sabrina and David are dancing] 

  Maude Larrabee : They grew up together. She's like a sister to him, Patrick.

  Patrick Tyson : I have a sister. That's not how we dance.

• David Larrabee : Now, Patrick, the debt burden this merger will accumulate will make it necessary to restructure some divisions. I've done a very quick review of last quarter's performance of each division of both companies.

  Maude Larrabee : David, when did you ever?

  David Larrabee : Mother, you've copied me on the financial standings of this company for 17 years. You just assumed I couldn't read.

• Linus Larrabee : David, sit down.

  David Larrabee : I can't talk right now, I have to be somewhere.

  Linus Larrabee : Just sit down!

  David Larrabee : [David sits and there is the sound of glass crunching]  Owwwaaahhh!

  Maude Larrabee : What?

  David Larrabee : I sat on the glasses!

  Linus Larrabee : Mother, go get Dr. Callaway. He's at the bar.

  Maude Larrabee : Who put glasses on the chair?

  David Larrabee : Can we talk about this later? I'm bleeding!

  Maude Larrabee : Darling, don't worry, just elevate... something.

• Mrs. Ingrid Tyson : Fabulous party, Maude! I'm so sorry Elizabeth wasn't able to make it.

  Maude Larrabee : So am I.

  [chagrined] 

  Maude Larrabee : She gave me a dog.

• Maude Larrabee : [exasperated, to David]  Right smack-dab in front of your prominent and paranoid future in-laws you are hustling the chauffeur's daughter!

• Mrs. Ingrid Tyson : Here are the wedding invitations. We thought we'd use recycled paper.

  Maude Larrabee : Why does it always look dirty?
