Quotes

• Mimi Benton: Well, I'll tell you what happened to her. While you were touring China, she went through hell. It's a nice place, you must go there someday.

• Michael Gardner: You've changed all right! You're selfish, hard. Mimi Benton: Sure I am, just like glass. So hard, nothing'll cut it but diamonds. Come around some day with a fistful. Maybe we can get together.

• Mimi Benton: [to baby daughter] Don't ever let any man make a sucker out of you. Make him know what you're worth. Anything they get for nothing is always cheap.
