Big Edie: I don't think people should get married. I don't believe in it at all.
Little Edie: If you can't get a man to propose to you you might as well be dead. Absolutely disgusting to be alone. What are they proving? They have to run around with dogs or other women or something...
Big Edie: But dogs are lovely! I'll take a dog any day.

"Mother was annoyed because I became a model."

To get to the beach, or the pool, from the Bouviers’ cabana, one had to march down a long boardwalk past all the other cabanas and their owners. “Good morning, Dr. Boots.” “How are you, Mrs. Pagel?” “Hi, Mr. Lee,” the Bouvier young would chirp as they sauntered down what they came to call the “midway.”
In those days the Bouvier who attracted the most attention from the other cabana owners at the Maidstone was Little Edie. A curvaceous blonde in her mid-twenties, she would walk down the boardwalk in a tight, elastic, one-piece bathing suit and actually succeed in distracting the tycoons from their Wall Street Journals.

"The hallmark of aristocracy is responsibility, is that it?"
