- First Delivery Man: Hi, pretty puss! You know where, um... Miss Starlin's office is?
- Maureen Reardon: [aloof] Suite number one.
- First Delivery Man: [giggles] La-di-dah! The Duchess of Flatbush, herself.
- Maureen Reardon: How'd you like to have this phone wrapped around your ear? Wiseguy.
- First Delivery Man: That's more like it, sister.
- [to his colleague]
- First Delivery Man: Suite number one.
- Bill Lane: You're as bad as she is! Oh, women!
- Mary Dennison: Men! Every time you search for an answer, you always come up with women. You're not getting out of this one so easily. I'd like to know why you think Zinthrop really hasn't got something.
- Bill Lane: Well, you can call it male intuition if you like... except there's something about this whole business that doesn't smell right... a private laboratory! A secret experiment! Zinthrop himself! The only thing missing is a genie with a lamp!
- Arthur Cooper: I'd stay away from wasps if i were you, Mrs. Starlin. Socially the queen wasp is on the level with a Black Widow spider. They're both carnivorous, they paralyze their victims and then take their time devouring them alive. And they kill their mates in the same way, too. Strictly a one-sided romance.
- Renfrew - Beekeeper: How are things running at the front office?
- Mr. Barker - Front Office Executive: Smooth as honey, Renfrew.
- Bill Lane: I've been trying to tell bright eyes here that I think Zinthrop is a phony and a confidence man.
- Arthur Cooper: If I were sure of that I wouldn't be worried. I think he's a lot more dangerous. A quack.
- Bill Lane: Well, I don't follow you, Coop.
- Arthur Cooper: Well, a confidence man would just be interested in your money. The only damage they can do is to your pocket book. A quack can be fatal.
- Maureen Reardon: So I says to him, I says, "Listen Irving, I'm getting sick of this TV every night, I mean, you know, we can do the same thing in a night club." Well, almost.
- Arthur Cooper: Our Mr. Zinthrop's a very capable confidence man from what I read in this letter. He claims he can stimulate the processes of rejuvenation through the use of enzymes extracted from wasps.
- Mary Dennison: Hey, Bill. Don't go getting any ideas about the boss.
- Bill Lane: Me? Don't be silly, I just want her to know that I'm an eager member of the team. Still, she is looking a lot younger these days, isn't she? You think Zinthrop would give you any of those treatments?
- Bill Lane: Face the facts, Mary, Janice Starlin has built her whole life on youth and beauty. Now that she's losing them she's scared to death. Right now she's on cloud nine with that quack Zinthrop; but I'd hate to be around when she comes back down to Earth.
- Doctor in the Hospital: He's had a severe injury and there's definite brain damage, just how much we can't tell as yet.
- Janice Starlin: There's only enough left for one more injection. One more. You've got to make more, Zinthrop. Help me, Zinthrop!
- Eric Zinthrop: Miss Starlin is not a human being any longer. The enzymes have changed her. She will destroy the girl as an evil wasp would destroy her enemies. And then devour the remains.
- Bill Lane: Mary, look.
- Mary Dennison: It's Mr. Cooper's pipe.
- Bill Lane: Don't you get it? He'd sooner go out without his pants than leave that pipe behind.
