Bill Keller : Why don't you dig in with me? I got a room. I only owe two weeks rent.
Patricia 'Alabama' Brent : Say, do I look like that?
Bill Keller : It's no proposition. You're out in the rainstorm and you haven't got an umbrella.
-
Toodles Cooper : [Opening scene. Extreme close up of a Nicaraguan woman in a bar slowly shaking her backside to-and-fro] I didn't think the Marines would keep their promise when they said they'd show me the world. There's a little wiggle that has a meaning all its own. Hey Bill, how's your rhumba?
[Bill starts to unzip his pants]
Bill Keller : Now, don't get so personal.
Toodles Cooper : Oh, rhumba's a dance! You stupid?

Patricia 'Alabama' Brent : Well, I still say its a lovely day.
Bill Keller : What are you selling, weather reports? Don't waste your time, I'm broke.
Patricia 'Alabama' Brent : You would be.
Bill Keller : Well, I guess the Depression's hit every business.
Patricia 'Alabama' Brent : Oh, you got me wrong, buddy. I'm a stenographer without a typewriter to pound or piece of gum to chew or a place to put it.
Bill Keller : Park the body, honey. Squat.
Patricia 'Alabama' Brent : Thank you, seh.
Bill Keller : Mississippi?
Patricia 'Alabama' Brent : No seh, Sugarville, Alabama, had me. But, New York's got me.
Bill Keller : Okay, Alabama!
-
Patricia 'Alabama' Brent : I've been expecting you! I knew you were too good to be true.
Bill Keller : I just wanted to see how you were getting on.
Patricia 'Alabama' Brent : Yeah, I've heard that one before. And I don't need to be tucked in, neither!
Bill Keller : Where you going?
Patricia 'Alabama' Brent : YWCA!
Bill Keller : Oh, now wait a minute, you got me wrong! Honest, it's not going to happen again. Not while I'm sober.
Patricia 'Alabama' Brent : Well, I'll take a chance. Back to your cell, monk.
-
Bill Keller : Pleasant dreams, sweetheart. No talking in your sleep, now.
Toodles Cooper : I wouldn't do this
[share a bed]
Toodles Cooper : for anybody but you, Bill.
Bill Keller : Not even Greta Garbo?
Toodles Cooper : Oh, well, but she's out of town.
-
Bill Keller : Keep your pants on, brother! I was flying airplanes when you thought a joy stick was a lollypop.
-
Bill Keller : Look at those stars. Ah, it's a swell night, isn't it?
Patricia 'Alabama' Brent : Awfully swell. Did you ever study astronomy?
Bill Keller : No. Just anatomy.
Patricia 'Alabama' Brent : I mean the study of heavenly bodies.
Bill Keller : Well.
-
Bill Keller : Say, I wonder if those stars were wise to use two days ago, heh?
Patricia 'Alabama' Brent : Maybe, they wink a lot.
-
Patricia 'Alabama' Brent : It's like a cock-eyed dream.
Bill Keller : Cock-eyed is right.
Patricia 'Alabama' Brent : I hope it stays nice and cock-eyed.

Mrs. Newberry : Can you make a fire, Keller?
Bill Keller : Yessum.
Mrs. Newberry : Then, come up. Make me a fire.
-
Bill Keller : She's coming across with some cash, now. But, I got to go up and build a fire.
Toodles Cooper : What are you, a visiting fireman?
Patricia 'Alabama' Brent : A fire? That dame looks plenty hot to me!
Bill Keller : It won't be long. You just stay here and pot like this until I come back.
Patricia 'Alabama' Brent : Okay, but, that fire racket burns me up.
-
Mrs. Newberry : You act as if you're afraid of me.
Bill Keller : Me? No, there's not a woman on earth that I can't lick.
-
Mrs. Newberry : Understand, you're not just an ordinary chauffeur. I engage you because I like you and you seem quite competent. I think you'll enjoy the position.
Bill Keller : I suppose there'll be considerable night work.
Mrs. Newberry : Oh, some. Naturally, you'll receive compensation for overtime.
-
Bill Keller : Well, did you get any breaks today, kid?
Patricia 'Alabama' Brent : No, I guess people have stopped writing letters. I've got a sneakin' idea there's an oversupply of typewriter massagers.
-
Bill Keller : Say listen, when are you, when are you going to stop saying no to me?
Patricia 'Alabama' Brent : Oh, I knew you were going to spoil things.
Bill Keller : No, no, no, no. I mean, I mean we can... get married.
Patricia 'Alabama' Brent : Married? But, you don't know anything about me. You don't even know how old I am.
Bill Keller : Well, that's alright. You look over 18.
-
Bill Keller : Never mind where I came from; but, you better start talking and talk fast, big eyes.
-
Bill Keller : How many times do I have to tell you, I'm sorry? Do I have to get down on my knees?
Patricia 'Alabama' Brent : You're no Mammy singer! The less you say, the better I'll like it.
Bill Keller : But, you didn't have to move out on us!
Patricia 'Alabama' Brent : I don't want any charity from you or from anybody! I had to have a job. And when I got the chance with Weber, I had to make the grade; however, I could. Now, as for what you overheard in there, made just about as much as a politician's promise.
-
Bill Keller : Where'd you get the elegant burlap?
Patricia 'Alabama' Brent : Where'd you get the tux?
Bill Keller : Mr. Weber bought it for me.
Patricia 'Alabama' Brent : Mr. Weber took me buy buy too. Do you like it?
Bill Keller : What there is of it.

Steve Donovan : I'm gettin' outta here before the law blows in.
Kurt Weber : So, you are turning yellow, heh, Steve?
Steve Donovan : Now, listen, if it was only liquor, I wouldn't care. But, when you start running...
Bill Keller : Hold on a minute! You mean to tell me we've been flying something else? I mean, dope?
Kurt Weber : Now, Bill, my boy, don't get excited.
Steve Donovan : Nah, it's only 10 years in the Federal Pen.
Bill Keller : Are these bags, they're full of that junk?
