Modern Socialites Gifts

'You may hang up if you want. I just don't want to eat alone in public without a cell phone in my hand.'

"So, what do you do for play?"

'A Ball at the Mansion House'

"Another flue shot, Larry.

"'Mr. Evans,' she said to me with that adorable smile, 'I think you're the nicest boy in the entire old-boy network.'"

"Whoa! Wrong bar?"

"Bob choked on a spoon of caviar while he was on skiing vacation in St. Moritz."

'Fill 'er up Fred!'

"Brian's considering the optics."

"I want you two to meet some people who just bought a fabulous five-story brownstone with a garden in Troy, New York."

"There's a notice from the co-op board. Would we be interested in playing softball on the Great Lawn?"

'Can anybody here separate their fingers and if so will you pour?'

"Either you're emitting the scent of power, or your phone battery is about to explode."

"Francophobe meet Francophile."

"What might you have written that I might say I've read?"

'Oh, we've met. We were once married to one another.'

'You're talking three million, ballpark

"Your party just totally blew us away."

'Dear, of course no one can tell you what they think of the wine, you haven't told them how much it cost yet.'

'I like the way you don't say I've had enough.'

'Forget the artwork who made the martinis?!'
