- Mary Linden: Robinson of the City Trust could be sold on a proposition to buy Ritter's stock for you, and pay for it out of the profits.
- James Duneen: [grabs her cigarette and sniffs it] No, it isn't hashish.
- Landlady: Hey, Kogan! Pipe down them flaming youths! Or find yourself another flat. This ain't no speakeasy!
- Delores Kogan: [Sarcastically] I know its the Biltmore, but, who moved it over here to 3rd Avenue?
- Mary Linden: What do you do for a living besides kissing strange girls in hallways?
- Ronnie Wales: I work in a brokers office.
- Mary Linden: In love?
- Ronnie Wales: I am not.
- Mary Linden: Married, then.
- Ronnie Wales: I don't believe in marriage.
- Mary Linden: [Smiles] That's not a new line.
- Delores Kogan: You're goofy about him.
- Mary Linden: Maybe.
- Delores Kogan: He don't even know you wear silk stockings.
- James Duneen: I think you're swell.
- Mary Linden: You don't know me. You only know my job. I smoke sometimes and wear an evening dress with absolutely no back to it.
- James Duneen: [Sarcastically] No!
- Mary Linden: And have been known to, eh, drink a cocktail - that is, when urged.
- James Duneen: I urge you. I beseech you!
- Mary Linden: Well, rather than have my clothes torn in the struggle, I will.
- Daisy Presby: Oh, don't tell me you wear french lingerie beneath that flour sack.
- Mary Linden: What I wear next to my lily white body is, strange as it may seem, nobody's business.
- James Duneen: She's just a diversion.
- Mary Linden: She got her salary raised. I'll say she's diverting!
- James Duneen: I'm terribly fond of you. But, how could I help it? Eight, ten, twelve hours a day together, mostly behind closed doors.
- Mary Linden: Proving that a working girl can be safe in the advances of her employer.
- James Duneen: Well, I always figure that business and pleasure don't mix.
- Mary Linden: That's not it. You've looked at me a thousand times - and never saw me until tonight.
- James Duneen: I see you now. And you look pretty good to me.
- Mary Linden: I wonder if it isn't the dress? Or, perhaps the liquor? Have another drink.
- James Duneen: Oh, would you have liked it if I'd kissed you in the office when you first came to work for me?
- Mary Linden: A kiss depends upon who's doing it and how it's done.
- James Duneen: How's this...
- James Duneen: What did you do? Blow the rent on that frock?
- Mary Linden: What's the matter with this frock?
- James Duneen: Absolutely nothing. It looks as if you've been poured in it and forgot to say when.
