I find the dialogue in the movie "The Philadelphia Story" absolutely sparkling. Here are some examples:

When Tracy's mother remarks to her that neither of them has been a great success as a wife, Tracy rejoins, "We just picked the wrong first husbands, that's all."

While waiting in the south parlor of the palatial mansion where Tracy lives, Mike wanders into an adjacent room and quips, "This would be south-southwest parlor by living room."

When Tracy's ex-husband tells her she should have stuck with him longer, she retorts, "I thought it was for life, but the nice judge gave me a full pardon."

While trying to explain to Tracy why men are attracted to a goddess-like woman, her ex-husband says, "We're very vain, you know. This citadel can and shall be taken, and I'm the boy to do it."
