Quotes

Hildegard Withers : Are you sure it was a man's voice?
Telephone Operator : Well it ain't likely a woman'd be calling me baby, is it?
Hildegard Withers : No, not so far downtown as this. Now, baby, I mean, eh, get the Chief Operator to trace that call. Tell her to report to Inspector Piper at Police Headquarters.
[Pointing to the Telephone Operator's lipstick]
Hildegard Withers : Oh, next time use a lighter shade. That's a little vulgar. Au revoir.
Telephone Operator : Okay, Lydia Pinkham.

Telephone Operator : Say, what are you? A policewoman?
Hildegard Withers : As far as it concerns you, I'm connected to the detective bureau... not very pleasantly... but connected still.
