Life's a banquet and most suckers are starving to death! [Helping Patrick learn his alphabet] Mame: That is a B, darling--the first letter of a seven-letter word that means your late father. [Regarding Mame's autobiography and Vera's propensity for passing out drunk] Vera Charles: You know, I've been to so many wonderful parties here, Mame. Now, I'm going to find out how they all ended.

More quotes! from Anthony: Vera opens the blinds in the morning and groans "Gawd that moon is bright." and when Mame was trying to fix her hair for Mr. Babcock, Vera suggested wearing it natural like hers and Mame cut her off saying, "If I wore my hair natural like you, I'd be bald." from Catherine: Gloria Upson Patrick's would-be fiancee announces loudly at a cocktail party upon hearing that Auntie Mame is writing a book - "Patrick you didn't tell me your aunt was literate!" is one of my favorite lines. Plus Vera Charles to Mame when she's still in black months after Beauregard's death - "Really Mame don't you think you could have changed to purple by now?"
