- Joe Scarlet: Thought you said you was broke when I asked for that loan back.
- Rowdy Yates: Must have stuck to the bottom of the pocket.
- Rowdy Yates: Come, Mushy, perk up. You're supposed to look like you just hit it big.
- Mushy: Don't I look happy?
- Rowdy Yates: You look like you just had a tooth pulled.
- Mushy: I wish I had, Mr Rowdy.
- Jim Quince: What can you give her? A lot of rainbows to chase. Not what she really wants.

- Melinda Stimson: I almost believed you this time. I really did.
- Rowdy Yates: You lost your mind or something. I can't sing to them.
