- Bill Standish: Ever done any posing before?
- Kay Arnold: I'm always posing.
- Bill Standish: How do you spend your nights?
- Kay Arnold: Re-posing.
- Kay Arnold: Hey, what kind of a sap is that guy?
- Dot Lamar: He's one of those fellas that even his best friends don't tell him.
- Kay Arnold: I read somewhere in a book that you can't have your cake and eat it too.
- Dot Lamar: Aw, baloney! Sure you can have your cake and eat it.
- Kay Arnold: Yeah? How?
- Dot Lamar: Have two cakes!
- Dot Lamar: You're talking to a lady that's going to eat caviar.
- Kay Arnold: Well, don't eat too much just 'cause it's free.
- Dot Lamar: Why not?
- Kay Arnold: Another ten pounds and they won't be calling you up anymore.
- Dot Lamar: Listen Elinor Glyns: you can't weigh sex appeal.
- Bill Standish: I refer you to a chapter in the Bible that says about a - it says an Ethahopian, an Othahep, well, anyway, some guy who's full of Ether had to change his color and a leopard always takes off his own spats.
- Jerry Strong: I know a leopard can't change its spots. And there's something in the same book about people who live in glass bottles, er, houses.
- Jerry Strong: It's like a man I knew once. He was suspicious. Bitter, hard, cruel. All those things were written in his face, like a map of his life. He died. I saw him laid out. His face was a new face. It was fine, noble. There was peace in it. He was himself again. Do you see what I mean?
- Kay Arnold: No. All I get out of it is, you got to die to find yourself. Not me. Not for two dollars an hour.
- John Strong: You surrounded yourself with a a lot of half-baked, long-haired...
- Jerry Strong: Now, Governor. Everybody at that party had a hair cut, even the women.
- Jerry Strong: What do you see?
- Kay Arnold: A ceiling.
- Jerry Strong: That's just the trouble. Look through the ceiling. Visualize. Sky. Space. The universe. Stardust, anything. There is no ceiling. Don't you see?
- Kay Arnold: Horse feathers. It's a ceiling.
- Kay Arnold: I suppose you're wondering what I was doing at that party. Well, brother, that's my racket. I'm a party girl.
- John Strong: He-women and she-men. I know 'em. Sponges. Hanging on for what they can get out of you.
- Kay Arnold: I'm just a poor working girl. Besides, we're working overtime tonight.
- Dot Lamar: Atta Kay. Atta Kay.
- Kay Arnold: From the way I've been stretchin' my neck, this picture oughta be called the lost Zeppelin.
- Bill Standish: Hey, listen. She's a festive girl and I think I'm gonna steal her.
- Jerry Strong: I thought you said she was dynamite.
- Bill Standish: Well, what's dynamite for one fellow is bromine substance to another.
- Kay Arnold: Gee, Dot, you sleep too much. You're gettin' awful fat.
- Dot Lamar: Oh, I should worry. If I get too fat I'll get married and retire.
- Kay Arnold: Marry? Who's gonna marry you?
- Dot Lamar: Say, do I look like a cripple or somethin'?
- Jerry Strong: You're the first young lady to spend the night in this studio.
- Kay Arnold: Yeah? Now tell me the one about the travelling salesman.
- Jerry Strong: The man who understands all about women.
- Bill Standish: It cost me a fortune, but I am he.
- Dot Lamar: You mean to tell me he ain't even fallin' for you?
- Kay Arnold: Fallin'? He ain't even trippin'.
- Dot Lamar: The bozos that fall for me can't see Kay. And the johns who go gaga over Kay can't see me no matter how much there is of me.
- Kay Arnold: I wish I were being born this morning. I wish I could be reborn all over again. So I could wait for you to come along. I wish I could be somebody else. So I could be everything - to you.
- Kay Arnold: [enters Jerry's apartment and sees Bill] Drunk again!
- Bill Standish: Congratulations. So am I.
- Jerry Strong: I'm over 18 years old, you know.
- Bill Standish: Well, most men never get to be 18. And most women are over 18 when they're born.
