Book 10. Champagne for One (Nero Wolfe #31)

Champagne for One by Rex Stout. “She danced cheerfully, and of course that was no good. You can't dance cheerfully. Dancing is too important. It can be wild or solemn or gay or lewd or art for art's sake, but it can't be cheerful. For one thing, if you're cheerful you talk too much.”

If you like intelligent dialog and plot that only pauses to detail a hilarious and petty argument among friends, grab any Wolfe novel.
