- Helen Riley: Really?
- Millie Blake: When I'm through with a man, I'm through.
- Helen Riley: When I'm through with a man, I'm just beginning.
- Mrs. Maitland: It takes time for young people to adjust themselves to each other - and a whole lot of patience.
- Millie Blake Maitland: Don't be cross. Honey, it's awful. I haven't got a thing to do all day long until you come home.
- Jack Maitland: It's too bad about you, isn't it? A beautiful home, all the clothes that money can buy, and a car to ride around in.
- Millie Blake Maitland: That doesn't make up for being lonely.
- Jimmy Damier: Just what is your ambition, Millie?
- Millie Blake: Oh, to - keep my independence - and, perhaps, a little comfort.
- John Holmes: [drunkenly] I don't have to be there til Thursday, the day before Christmas.
- Jimmy Damier: Oh, well, today is Christmas. Yesterday was Thursday.
- John Holmes: Thursday? Well, whatever became of Wednesday?

- Angie Wickerstaff: Oh, Mr. Hawksworth!
- Millie Blake Maitland: Why do you leave me day after day? I get so lonesome I could die.
- Jack Maitland: Do you think I go away because I want to? Why are you always kicking?
- Millie Blake Maitland: Well, why shouldn't I kick? I'd like a little fun for a change. I'd like a little loving once in a while.
- Millie Blake: Oh, I love this! I've never ridden fast enough. I get a thrill out of it. I want excitement. I want to live to go everywhere and see everything and do everything!
- Angie Wickerstaff: I got her to come.
- Helen Riley: *You* got her to come? She's comin' in spite of you.
- Angie Wickerstaff: Yes. I know how to talk to a friend from home without you tellin' me.
- Helen and Angie's Landlady: Did you tell her how to bring your room rent?
- Helen Riley: You'll get your money now will ya fade?
- [scene fades out]

- Angie Wickerstaff: Work?
- Millie Blake: Well, of course!
- Angie Wickerstaff: Well, when are you going to find time for opportunity?
- Millie Blake: Well, don't you call a good job an opportunity?
- Angie Wickerstaff: Well, I wouldn't call it very substantial.
- Millie Blake: I can't afford to go out nights.
- Helen Riley: Well, you certainly can't afford to stay home nights. Not at this stage in the game.
- Nightclub Trio: [singing] She isn't a blonde, She's not a brunette, She's Millie the redhead, And hard to forget, Lookout for your heart, Lookout for your nerves, She's Millie the redhead, With dangerous curves...
- Millie Blake: I didn't have any idea Tommy'd be so late.
- Jimmy Damier: Maybe he's out on a special assignment.
- Millie Blake: Yes, he is.
- Jimmy Damier: Yeah? Blonde or brunette?
- Angie Wickerstaff: I've decided it's time I looked around for an advantageous marriage.
- Millie Blake: Oh really?
- Angie Wickerstaff: I feel I've done all that can be done with the present situation.
- Jimmy Damier: Hey, look out, Millie. That isn't water.
- Millie Blake: No? Well, come again! Jimmy, I'm a redheaded woman, lookout for me!
- Millie Blake: Say, who follows who? I follow you? No sir. You follow me. Jimmy -
- [sings]
- Millie Blake: I'm a redheaded woman
- [laughs]
- Jimmy Damier: Well, I think you're quite old enough to do as you please.
- Connie Maitland: Oh, you're a peach to say that, Uncle Jimmy.
- Jimmy Damier: Am I?
- [pats Connie's knee]
- Connie Maitland: I always have such a good time when I'm with you, Uncle Jimmy.
- Jimmy Damier: Well, now, suppose we forget the uncle part of it, just now, and - and you call me Jimmy.

- Mark: She's going to be a queen.
- Jimmy Damier: Really?
- Mark: Haven't you seen her?
- Jimmy Damier: No. No, I haven't seen her since she was a little kid so high. I sent her a present once. I nearly got my head bitten off.
- Mark: Get an eyeful, boy. You'll wish you were back at college, taking her to parties.
- Helen Riley: The only thing I got outta love - is a pain.
- Millie Blake: Men are all tramps.
- Helen Riley: *Awful* tramps. Skoal.
- Millie Blake: Skoal.
- Connie Maitland: Well, if I"m going to have an art career, I certainly can't be bothered about conventions.
- Jimmy Damier: Certainly not.
- Jimmy Damier: Why, she's a kid of 16.
- Millie Blake: That wouldn't mean anything to you.
- Jimmy Damier: Oh, no? Well, I'm much obliged for your good opinion of me.
- Tommy Rock: They've got us almost licked; but, we've got just the one chance. And you''re not going to spoil everything are ya? Are ya?
- Mike: Well, I don't know. The way things have been handled, it all looks a kinda screwy to me.
- Tommy Rock: Marry me won't you. I want something to hold us together
- Millie Blake: But Tommy, love will do that. If it can't then the rest doesn't matter.
