- Richard Morey: Cortig, if you bought a gift for a girl and she refused to accept it, what would you do?
- Russ Cortig: [with a slow smile] I'd give it to my wife.
- Danny Barr: [stopping Eve from telephoning] Wait a minute, will you, honey?
- [Eve smacks his hand from the phone]
- Danny Barr: Oh, how I wish you were a man!
- Eve Fallon: Same to you.
- Barber: Well, well, Danny, what's the matter? Don't see you for a long time.
- Benny Battle: Well, they had me downtown for two weeks on a bum rap.
- Eve Fallon: Oh, poor kid! They blame you everything, don't they?
- Benny Battle: You sait it, Beautiful! The way the coppers treat me, you'd think I was a thief.
- Eve Fallon: Yeah! Police get some funny ideas sometimes.
- Benny Battle: Don't they though? And me as honest as the day is long.
- Benny Battle: Yeah, but how 'bout the nights?
- Benny Battle: The nights too! I'm the soul of honesty.
- Eve Fallon: You sure you don't mean 'the heel?'
- [Morey sees Eve at the hotel drugstore counter buying aspirin. He enters and starts a conversation with her, finding out that she has just lost her manicurist job]
- Richard Morey: They have nice perfumes here.
- Eve Fallon: Yeah, if you can afford 'em.
- Richard Morey: Uh, how much are these?
- Off-screen Sales Clerk: Fifty-five dollars.
- Richard Morey: Give me four of them.
- Eve Fallon: Mmmmm. You must have lots of friends.
- Richard Morey: Oh, they're all for you.
- Eve Fallon: Oh, but I couldn't.
- Richard Morey: Oh, but you could.
- Eve Fallon: Oh, but I mustn't.
- Richard Morey: Oh, but you must. And you will. How about some candy, too? Here you are. You like sweets?
- [piling on the candy boxes]
- Richard Morey: One more.
- Eve Fallon: Please! I'll have to get a truck to carry all these things home.
- Richard Morey: No, you won't. My car's right here at the door.
- [to the sales clerk]
- Richard Morey: Charge it, will you?
- [fade to the back seat of Morey's limo]
- Richard Morey: An apartment, French maid, your own car and chauffeur. Doesn't it sound good?
- Eve Fallon: [deadpan] Mmmmm. Too good to be true.
- Richard Morey: It... could be true.
- Eve Fallon: [sardonically] And all I'd have to do is manicure your nails?
- Eve Fallon: [getting up to leave] Here's my house.
- Richard Morey: But Eve, haven't you forgotten something?
- Eve Fallon: Yeah, my key, but I'll slip through the transom.
- Richard Morey: But what about the candy and perfume?
- Eve Fallon: Ah, give the candy to your chauffeur and use the perfume yourself.
- [Eve slams the car door]
- Eve Fallon: Where are you going?
- Danny Barr: I don't know yet. I haven't made up my mind.
- Eve Fallon: Can I go with you?
- Danny Barr: Where?
- Eve Fallon: Where you're going.
- Danny Barr: Well, I just told ya. I don't know where I'm going.
- Eve Fallon: Well, when do you leave?
- Danny Barr: I don't know that either.
- Eve Fallon: Well, why can't you take me along?
- Danny Barr: Where?
- Eve Fallon: That's what I'm asking you.
- Danny Barr: I'm asking you that.
- Eve Fallon: Say, who's going - you or me?
- Danny Barr: Where?
- Eve Fallon: I don't know. I'm not going - you are.
- Danny Barr: Well look, what time is it?
- Eve Fallon: What time does your train leave?
- Danny Barr: How do you know I'm going by train? I might be going by boat.
- Eve Fallon: What kind of a boat?
- Danny Barr: I don't know. I haven't seen it yet.
- Benny Battle: [In barber shop running his hand on the back of manicurist Eve Fallon] Eeny, meanie, mynie, mo. I'll take this one.
- Eve Fallon: Oh, so you're the guy who ran his thumb down my back.
- Benny Battle: Your truly, Benjamin Battle! How's it, Babe?
- Eve Fallon: How's it yourself?... I knew it was you. I know the feel of your fingerprints.
- Benny Battle: Ouch! Never say 'fingerprints' when I'm around. It gives me a sickly feeling.
- Eve Fallon: Yeah, I'd have a nasty answer for that if I wasn't workin' here. What can I do for you?
- Benny Battle: Oh, give me a manicure, but don't rush it. I'd like you to hold my hands.
- Eve Fallon: Oh! Too bad I can't work with my gloves.
- Benny Battle: [at the barber shop] Every time I turn around I see another bull.
- Benny Battle: [Danny emerges from under a towel in the next chair] Well, if it isn't Daniel Barr, the handsome dick.
- Danny Barr: Gettin' yourself dolled up?
- Danny Barr: Yeah, there's nuttin' like spendin' a half hour in a barber shop that makes a new man out of ya.
- Danny Barr: When did ya get out outta the can?
- Benny Battle: About an hour ago, thanks to the habby-us corpus.
- Danny Barr: Yeah, and that shyster lawyer of yours.
- Benny Battle: I wouldn't talk like that. Ya might get pinched for slander.
- Eve Fallon: Yeah, and don't carry any matches; they're liable to charge you with arson.
- Benny Battle: Hey, Chalkie, get me a pineapple soda. Get me a big lump of whipped cream on it, and a nice red cherry. How's it, babe?
- Danny Barr: How d'ya like that chair?
- Benny Battle: I like it, 'specially when I'm tired.
- Danny Barr: Well, there's one upstate looks just like it. Ya wouldn't care for that one would ya?
- Benny Battle: No thanks. I'm not that tired.
- Danny Barr: Why don't you listen to reason?
- Eve Fallon: I'm not in the listening mood. My ears are tired.
- Benny Battle: You got a kind face.
- Police Desk Sergeant: Yes, you got a kind face too. It's the kind I don't like.
- Eve Fallon: I knew it was you. I know the feel of your fingerprints.
- Benny Battle: Ouch! Never say fingerprints when I'm around. It gives me a sickly feeling.
- Benny Battle: Don't they know? And me, as honest as the day is long.
- Eve Fallon: Yeah, but how about the nights?
