- Sandy: Grapefruit. Why is it everybody in the world eats grapefruit when there's so many bananas running around loose.
- Buck Rankin: They never found the body, did they, sir?
- Warden J.R. Mackenzie: They never find any bodies in that whirlpool.
- Mac: How do you like that? You just get out of the can and here am I bellyaching.
- Buck Rankin: Still running true to form.
- Mac: I got indigestion. My stomach aches. My back's breaking. And my dogs are barking so loud that my head aches.
- Mac: Why do we have to fly to New York? You know I got a delicate stomach.
- Buck Rankin: You know I have to be in New York by 10 o'clock in the morning; besides, I've never been up in plane.
- Mac: No, you've never been to Mars either.
- Buck Rankin: We're through with that penny ante stuff. I've learned a lot since I've seen you, Mac. We were pikers before. Cheap, tin horn, grifters. But, that's all we knew. And we'll be grifters again; but, in a big way for big dough. I've got idears, Mac. You and I are going places.
- Sandy: I'm free, white, and over 21; and in spite of my virtuous life, you know that I know most of the answers.
- Thelma: [singing] Those red, red lips that look so good to me, Must hold a kiss that's full of T-N-T, Hello sweet desire, You're a walking ball of fire, There's a little mischief in your eye, Oh, your dangerous, How about tonight? Hello, dynamite.
- Thelma: Let me tell you, big boy, you're not puttin' anything over on me. I can pull a few fast ones myself. Sew a button on that for future use!
- Buck Rankin: I'll be clearing out in a few days, Sandy.
- Sandy: Where to?
- Buck Rankin: Oh, Havana, the islands, Shanghai, maybe. I don't know yet.
- Sandy: I find you - and I lose you.
- Buck Rankin: Do you want to step out of your coat?
- Sandy: No, thanks. I don't think I better, it's a dress.
- Buck Rankin: You're pretty keen about this Bob, aren't you?
- Sandy: I adore him.
- Buck Rankin: Tell me, what is he like?
- Sandy: Well, he's conceited, lazy, he whistles off key, and he loves onions.
- Buck Rankin: So, it's real then. Had you have told me he's tall, blond, and handsome, then maybe I'd had something to worry about.
- Thelma: Well, of all the two-timing chiselers. Listen, does he think he can get away with this from me, if he does, I'll show him a thing or two. That dirty cheat, low down, double-crosser!
- Barney Gaige: Your vocabulary's improving, Thelma.
- Mac: I tell you this calm before the storm stuff is a bad sign!
- Buck Rankin: Quit your squawking, Mac, and beat it.
- Barney Gaige: Thelma, they say if you want to find anything out about a man, ask a woman. It still holds good.
- Sandy: Oh, darling, I'm terribly sorry I blew up; but, please, don't question me. This is the only time in my life I haven't told you everything. But, it's all right. I'm not doing anything you'd be ashamed of, honestly.
- Editor: Never mind the bouquets, you get over to Sheldon's apartment now. Hey, there's a story there and you get it or don't show your nose in this joint again. Now, beat it!
- Buck Rankin: Don't let's think of tomorrow, honey. Besides, tomorrow never comes. It's always today. Know we have it now.
