When a woman brings Patrick to meet Mame for the first time, they catch her a little off guard.

MAME: Oh, no. You said October 1, and today is September 31.

WOMAN: Today is October 1

MAME: That's not possible. Everyone knows thirty days has September, Apr-- (to PATRICK) OH, DARLING! I'm your Auntie Mame!

Reminiscing about a sculptor friend:

MAME: A divine man...such talented fingers. Oh, what he did to my bust!

Explaining Vera Charles' accent:

MAME: Oh, no, dear. She's from Pittsburg.

PATRICK: She sounded English.

MAME: Yes, well, when you're from Pittsburg you have to do *something.*

Examining a model airplane:

MAME: You know, I was always fascinated by aviation. I never knew they did it all with rubber bands.

On slang:

'Spitting distance'? How vivid.

On hair color:

VERA: You should keep your hair natural the way I do.

MAME: If I kept my hair natural the way you do, I'd be bald.

Contrary to James Bond's preference, this is how to prepare a martini:

MAME: Stir--never shake...bruises the gin.

MAME: Mr Babcock, knowledge is power.

A hidden dig at Mr. Babcock:

MAME: Mr. Babbit--

MR. BABCOCK: BabCOCK.

MAME: Yes.

And at Sally Cato:

SALLY CATO: Oh, Mame, I'm just gonna hold my breath 'til tomorrow morning

MAME: You do that, honey.

Just before the fox hunt:

SALLY CATO: Well, shall we to the hounds?

MAME: Yeah, I'd love to meet your family.

Hope you enjoyed these Auntie Mame quotes, and don't ever forget:

Live, live, live!

Life is a banquet, and most poor suckers are starving to death!
