- Gloria Patterson: [to Nicole] I married a hoofer. All he had was a time step and a 'shuttle off to Buffalo.' Later in life he became ambitious... and got 20 years.
- Gloria Patterson: [Wiping Nicole's lipstick on her finger] That's dishonest. Plucking your eyebrows is dishonest. The rouge on your cheeks is dishonest. And a fat woman in a girdle - huh, that's highway robbery.
- Nicole de Cortillion: Well, I don't care because when I get there I'll get back.
- Jim Trevor: Sure. How?
- Nicole de Cortillion: [Pointing to her raised right thumb]
- Jim Trevor: What's that?
- Nicole de Cortillion: I hitch hitch.
- Jim Trevor: You what?
- Nicole de Cortillion: I hitch hitch.
- [She motions with her hand and thumb out]
- Jim Trevor: You mean hitch-hike
- Nicole de Cortillion: That's what I said.
- Nicole de Cortillion: Why are you always so good to me?
- Gloria Patterson: Oh, I suppose you have to be good for something, and my dog died a week before you moved in here.
- Jim Trevor: Rigley!
- Rigley: Yes, sir?
- Jim Trevor: If this young lady is not here when I get back, you're fired.
- Rigley: Thank you, sir.
- Jim Trevor: Did you hear that, Rigley?
- Rigley: Did you want me to, sir?
- Jim Trevor: I do.
- Rigley: I did.
- Jim Trevor: Good!
- Mike - The Head Waiter: I started out to get a restaurant and I'll be lucky if I wind up with a ham sandwich.
- Mike - The Head Waiter: Uh, Uh, young lady in your party forgot her wrap.
- Jim Trevor: It wasn't my party, and she's not a lady.
- Mike - The Head Waiter: Oh, I'm sorry, sir. But I'm sure you know your friends better than I do.
- Nicole de Cortillion: He meant I was dishonest.
- Gloria Patterson: Darling, all women are dishonest. If they weren't, the world would be divided into two classes of people - old maids and bachelors.
- Jim Trevor: Now, you sit over there til I need you.
- Rigley: Yes, sir. I can't do this, sir.
- Jim Trevor: Now, you do as you're told. You're on borrowed time anyway. I should have fired you last Tuesday.
- Rigley: Well, why don't you fire me now, sir?
- Jim Trevor: Well, if you do a good job tonight, perhaps I will.
- Rigley: Oh, thank you very much, sir.
