• Eddie Kearns : Hank, did you see Queenie? What's the matter Hank, aren't ya happy? Wasn't Queenie great? Aren't ya proud of her?

  Hank Mahoney : Yeah, "Broad's way!"

• Eddie Kearns : Queenie! All grown up and everything!

  Eddie Kearns : Well, you can - get most anything out of a bowl of chop suey.

• Eddie Kearns : Why do you let a guy like that hang around you?

  Eddie Kearns : You sure are regular, Hank.

• Hank Mahoney : Say, what kind of a sap are you, anyway?

  Eddie Kearns : What do you mean?

  Hank Mahoney : Are you gonna let a John like that steal her away from you because he's got a little more Jack?

• Hank Mahoney : You're a coward! You're afraid of Jacques Warriner! Or, you'd go out and fight for her! But, you're just yella!

  Eddie Kearns : You think I'm yella, heh?

  Hank Mahoney : Sure, you're yella!

  Eddie Kearns : Well, I'll show you how much I'm yella!

  Hank Mahoney : Well, you're yella! You hear me! You're yella!

  Eddie Kearns : I'm yella, heh?

  Hank Mahoney : Yella! I said you are! You're yella! You're yella! You hear me!
