• Lottie : That shows you what you know. You don't have to sing in burlesque. Mr. Kinskey says you just gotta be a looker. And nobody can say I'm not that!

  Blondie : Oh, you're screwy and you don't know it.

• Lottie : Are you stuck on anyone?

  Blondie : Oh, I can't get a kick outta any hicks I bump into after seeing how a real young man acts.

  Lottie : Oh and how do you know how a real gentleman acts?

  Blondie : In the movies! I go to them all the time.

• Larry : You don't suppose there is any truth to the rumor that Chinamen eat dogs?

  Blondie : Oh, I hadn't heard that.

  Larry : Well, there couldn't be any possible connection between, eh, chow mein and chow dogs.

• Lottie : Well, if appearing on the stage is wrong and having a few decent things of my own is wrong, then give me plenty of it!

  Blondie : Good luck then. I guess you'll be all right. If you ever need a pal, you'll let me know, won't you?

  Lottie : Sure I will, kid. I like you, Blondie. I've always liked you.

  Blondie : Well, goodbye, mug. Take care of yourself, won't you?

• Blondie : Lucky chump.

  Lottie : Not really so lucky.

  Blondie : Oh, you're doin' great, kitty!

• Blondie : Oh, aren't you a peach! Wow! I bet I look kinda hot in this!

• Larry : Come here! Stop it, stop it, stop it, stop it. Who do you think you are?

  Blondie : What do you think you are?

  Larry : Mussolini.

• Larry : What you need is a drink!

  Blondie : I don't drink.

  Larry : Smoke?

  Blondie : No!

  Larry : Stay out late nights?

  Blondie : No.

  Larry : Like the boys?

  Blondie : No!

  Larry : Do you eat?

  Blondie : Yes.

  Larry : That's all right. I'll take you out to dinner.

  Blondie : Oh, you're fresh!

• Lottie : Blondie, what on earth made you fly away like that? Like a veritable sky rocket.

  Blondie : Lottie, you're a scream. Doesn't she make you laugh?

  Larry : Yes, she does.

  Blondie : She was always like that. Even in the store. Just out of nowhere she'd get so hotsy-totsy. Even the customers would laugh.

• Blondie : Say, how much do they pay those girls to be in the show? Huh?

  Larry : Oh, about 50, 60, 70 dollars a week.

  Blondie : Do you think you could fix it up for me?

• Blondie : Where are we going?

  Larry : I know a nice, quiet, little Speakeasy; where they have soft music, soft lights, and hard liquor.

  Blondie : Ha-cha!

• Larry : You're a darling.

  [Leans down and kisses Blondie] 

  Blondie : Don't Mister. If you don't mean it.

• Blondie : My sister, you know, she's married to my brother-in-law.

  Larry : Oh, what does he do?

  Blondie : Oh, well, he doesn't like to work. He's very sensitive. He says work gets on his nerves. He'd like to be an adventurer, he says.

• Lottie : Get into bed, kid. And I'll tell you an earful.

  Blondie : Okay.

• Pa McClune : I've finished.

  Blondie : Not with me, Pa?

  Pa McClune : No, Blondie. I'll never finish with you, never. What I meant was I've finished being an old time Pa. I've thought it over carefully. A father shouldn't - shouldn't try to stop a kid from doing something that she wants to do. That is, unless, its very wrong. And you never could do anything very wrong. Could you, Blondie?

  Blondie : You know I couldn't, Pa.

• Blondie : You see if I don't know what its all about! I'll keep my promise to you about Larry. But, there are plenty of other men. And I'm going in for a big time, kitty!

• Lottie : Cut it out! Cut it out!

  Blondie : I won't cut it out! You watch my smoke!

• Blondie : It will be a lucky girl who gets you seriously.

  Larry : The lady who did get me seriously, turned out to be very lucky.

  Blondie : And who was that?

  Larry : Well, if this isn't a palace of luck in a circus, I don't know what is. Step up boys and girls and take your chance on the bigger life!

• Lottie : It looks like old home week.

  Blondie : Won't you sit down, Lurlene. Larry has to hurry.

  Lottie : Now that I'm here, its a wonder he doesn't jump right through the window.

  Larry : I'm saving that for when the market reaches the bottom.

• Jimmy : Garbo! Garbo. Garbo. Garbo. Garbo! Garbo! Garbo. Garbo.

  Blondie : [in a Swedish accent]  Who are you? Why are you here?

  Jimmy : To breathe the air you breathe. I'm nuts about it! I'm nuts about it.

  Blondie : Oh, that face. Why does it look at me like that?

  Jimmy : Because I'm a cad.

  Blondie : Cad?

  Jimmy : How tired you are.

  Blondie : Yes. I am tired. So, tired...

  Jimmy : You killing me.

  Blondie : Go! I want to be alone.

  Jimmy : What a mama! What a mama. Please, please, please let me stay.

  Blondie : Well, just for the week then.

• Blondie : Everything's an accident. Don't kid yourself.

• Larry : What do your doctors say?

  Blondie : What do doctors say? They look you over. They smile. They hurt you and shake their heads. They're non-committal. I think that's what the word is, isn't it?
