- Kelly: Say, I ain't the marryin' kind. You know a sailor's life don't belong to him. It belongs to the government. And besides, if we got married we'd have to make love through the mail carrier or somethin'.
- Kelly: Did I have a good time! And did I get plastered. And did I meet a swell dame. And did I knock a couple of bimbos in the eye.
- Mr. Brown: there, there, dear. Don't cry. Look at your Daddy. You haven't done anything - wrong, have you?
- Alice: Oh, no Dad.
- Mr. Brown: There, you see, Mother.
- Mrs. Brown: I didn't say she had! I did not! There you go, turning Alice against me. Putting words in mouth that I never meant. How are we ever going to have any discipline in this family?
- Alice: We met at the Ladies Uplift.
- Mrs. Brown: The Ladies Uplift?
- Kelly: I'm a member there. Been for many years.
- Kelly: You like sailors, then?
- Alice: Well, you're the first one I've ever really talked to. You see, my mother doesn't like them.
- Kelly: What's the matter with her?
- Alice: Well, I guess it's because father used to be a sailor.
- Kelly: Oh, I see.
- Alice: When he was young. You know, she wouldn't have let me come here tonight at all if she knew you boys were here.
- Kelly: Oh, old folks is dizzy that way.
- Sven Swanson: So, we get a good time now?
- Kelly: Oh, a coupla drinks, maybe.
- Sven Swanson: You ain't forgettin' the women?
- Kelly: Oh, I don't have to remember the women. They remember me. Love 'em and leave 'em. Them's me sentiments.
- Kelly: A nice kid like you ought to be married to a bookkeeper or somthin'. You know, I guy that sticks around and does his homework.
- Alice: You know, if we ever had to be far apart, we can always look at the moon. And if we're both looking at it, oh, that would be like being together, won't it?
- Man Dancing with Alice: Leave it lay, sugar. I'll buy you a new one.
- Alice: That's what they all say.
