Don't you understand? How can I marry you? Me, the symbol of bachelorhood! I've sneered at every love scene in every play. I've written four million words against marriage. Not only hooked, but to a minister's daughter! And not only a minister's daughter, but a girl from Brooklyn!.

Should have quite a kick

From: Arsenic And Old Lace

Well, dear, for a gallon of elderberry wine I take one teaspoonful of arsenic. Then add half a teaspoonful of strychnine, and then just a pinch of cyanide. –Hmm. Should have quite a kick.

How did he die?

From: Arsenic And Old Lace

Now look, darling, how did he die? –Oh, Mortimer, don't be so inquisitive. The gentleman died because he drank some wine with poison in it. –Well, how did the poison get in the wine? –Well, we put it in wine because it's less noticeable. When it's in tea it has a distinct odor.
