Martha: Look, sweetheart, I can drink you under any goddamn table you want, so don't worry about me. Honey: Oh, I don't know, a little brandy maybe. "Never mix, never worry!" George: Martha? Rubbing alcohol for you? Martha: Sure! "Never mix, never worry!" Martha: I hope that was an empty bottle, George! You can't afford to waste good liquor, not on YOUR salary! George: All I said was that our son, the apple of our three eyes, Martha being a cyclops, our son is a beanbag, and you get testy! George: Martha, in my mind you're buried in cement right up to the neck. No, up to the nose, it's much quieter. Nick: I'm tired, I've been drinking since nine o'clock, my wife is vomiting, there's been a lot of screaming going on around here! - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Trivia: The only film in history (as of mid-1999) to have its entire main cast (Elizabeth Taylor, Richard Burton, Sandy Dennis, and George Segal) nominated for the four major acting Oscars.
