"I hope you don't call that a party face."

"Do excuse me, I've got a nuttiness allergy."

"How much longer, roughly, will you be introducing me as a 'disgruntled Republican'?"

"The Duke and Duchess of A.T. & T., the Count and Countess of Citicorp, the Earl of Exxon, and the Marchioness of Avco. The Duke of Warnaco..."

'I don't like her line of gossip - it's never about anyone I know.'

'How about this for the masked ball?'

'Here. Don't forget to put on your 'party face'.'

"They call me the king of railroad salvage - 'they' being my wife, actually."

"Oh, my, I can tell—everybody in there has read Barbara Tuchman."

'Have we met someplace? Yes, that's why I quit going there.'

"Can you send me a text so I can use it as a ruse to get out of this conversation?"

"Okay, so you'll remind me who these people are, and later I'll explain their jokes to you."

'That one is a real bargain if you don't mind the chin strap.'

'We were going to give you a severance package, but we used it to throw you this retirement party instead.'
