Marian Martin
- Marian Martin, aka Mrs. Moreland: You don't own me. Nobody does. My life belongs to me.
- Al Manning: You'll make one fine mess of it.
- Marian Martin, aka Mrs. Moreland: It'll still belong to me.
- Marian's mother: Don't, Marian, you frighten me when you talk like that.
- Marian Martin, aka Mrs. Moreland: If I were a man it wouldn't frighten you! You'd think it was right for me to go out and get anything I could out of life, and use anything I had to get it. Why should men be so different? All they've got are their brains and they're not afraid to use them. Well neither am I!
- Marian Martin, aka Mrs. Moreland: Regret? I left school when I was only 12... never learned how to spell "regret."
- Travers: Careful, Mark, she's only after our money.
- Mark Whitney: Are you?
- Marian Martin, aka Mrs. Moreland: ...Yes.
- Mark Whitney: Honest, aren't you?
- Mark Whitney: You wouldn't want me to lie to you, wouldn't you?
- Mark Whitney: That's almost the only thing I could never forgive you.
- Wally: ...so you'd better listen. There's only one way for a girl to get along in this town, and that's with a man - a rich man to help her, but she must keep a cool head. When you meet a man, never look him in the eye.
- Marian Martin, aka Mrs. Moreland: No?
- Wally: No. Take a peek at the pocket book.
- [She glances at his right pocket]
- Wally: . No, wrong number. And one other thing before you go' Find out all you can about them and never tell them anuthing. Men like to think they're Christopher Columbus discovering America.
- Marian Martin, aka Mrs. Moreland: Well, I just thought you could give me some advice.
- Wally: The East River is full of girls who took advice from men like me.
- Wally: [From the train] Have a drink?
- [Marian begins to leave]
- Wally: Aw, don't go away. Looking out? Wrong Way! Get in and look out.
- Marian Martin, aka Mrs. Moreland: [There is a gate blocking access to the train steps] Get in where? Oh, here?
- Wally: Oh, anywhere... just in. Only rwo kinds of people... the ones in and the ones out.
- Al Manning: Say, I'm the best concrete worker they've got. Say, when I talk to cement, it stands up and takes off its hat!
- Marian Martin, aka Mrs. Moreland: Yeah, and you're still in overalls.
