- Ruby Bruce: I'm sorry, but, I tore my sleeve.
- Jeffrey Hart: How did that happen?
- Ruby Bruce: I had to work late with my boss. I got a bit manhandled.
- Jeffrey Hart: Manhandled?
- Ruby Bruce: He's never seen me in my party clothes before. I think the shock was too much for him.
- Clive Oliver: I think this one will sell alright, it's certainly up to standard. As a matter of fact, there's rather a novel thrill on the last page. A man wants to murder a blackmailer but he can't think how to dispose of the body. Then his next door neighbour suddenly dies of heart failure, rather conveniently. So he murders the blackmailer and sticks him in the coffin with the man next door.
- John Harman: I take it you have an appointment tonight, Miss Bruce.
- Ruby Bruce: How did you know?
- John Harman: Well, I - you look extremely smart and I can't imagine it being for my benefit.
- Ruby Bruce: I'm glad you like it.
- Jeffrey Hart: Now, I'm broke. You couldn't lend me a quid or two, could you?
- Vi: I'd love to, Jeff, but, I haven't a bean.
- Vi: Jeff, shouldn't you lie low for a few days?
- Jeffrey Hart: Maybe I will.
- Vi: Well, if you want somewhere to - well, there's always my place.
- Jeffrey Hart: It's not a bad idea.
- Stella Tracy: I don't want to be told that you're in love with me or that I'm really in love with you and don't know it.
- Vi: Why couldn't I help this time? You always let me in before.
- Jeffrey Hart: No. It was a one man job.
- Vi: I see. Where did the blonde bit come in?
- Jeffrey Hart: Oh, let's forget about her, shall we.
- Vi: You look tired, my pet.
- Jeffrey Hart: I could sleep for a couple of days.
- Vi: Well, why not get comfy.
- Jeffrey Hart: Why not face facts, my dear. This might be the best thing that could have happened to you with this infatuation. A nurse in love with her patient, a married man with an invalid wife. It's all happened before, you know.
