The Moon Is Blue Quote

Patty O'Neill: If Cynthia came down now and cried over you a little and fussed over you right bit, I bet...
Donald Gresham: Let's not talk about Cynthia.
Patty O'Neill: Well, she called me a "professional virgin". That's what I came back to talk about. Not Cynthia, don't worry, only what she said.
Donald Gresham: It was a rather unfortunate phrase and I was mad...
Patty O'Neill: May I ask why does Cynthia object to virgins?
Donald Gresham: Look, nobody in their right mind could seriously object to being called a virgin.
Patty O'Neill: OK, but it's this "professional" that makes me mad. I'd like to have that explained.
Donald Gresham: It's not necessary to advertise it. That's really all the phrase means.
Patty O'Neill: What's wrong with advertising?
Donald Gresham: [exasperated] People who advertise are anxious to *sell* something!
