- Hattie Burns: You must be pretty proud of yourself, breaking up our meeting like that.
- Peter Higgins: After that, you couldn't run for a streetcar!
- Ivy Higgins: [Last lines at the commencement of Myrtle and Benny's marriage ceremony] And, you know, it isn't every young couple that can have the wedding ceremony performed by Her Honor, the Mayor.
- [indicating Hattie]
- Hattie Burns: No, and it isn't every young couple that can have as Matron of Honor, the Commissioner of Garbage.
- [indicating Ivy]
- Ivy Higgins: Oh, put that foot where it belongs!
- Peter Higgins: If I did, you wouldn't be able to sit down for a month!
- Ivy Higgins: If it wasn't for us women, where would you men be?
- Peter Higgins: In the Garden of Eden eatin' apples.
- Peter Higgins: Rally, my eye! You're going top stay home and iron my underw-w-w-wear!
- Ivy Higgins: Iron them yourself, and, furthermore, after the election you'll be ironing mine!
- Jim Curango: [Listening to the corrupt mayor speaking to a women's club on the radio] Hah! We're a cinch! Don't those old dames fall for color? That guy could bring tears to a glass eye!
- Title card: For the first time in history women had men worried.
- Hattie Burns: Well, what's your proposition?
- Jim Curango: Well, just this... if I let you in as mayor, all I want to do is handle the business end of the office, and you can handle the social welfare and public improvements.
- Hattie Burns: Oh, well, the first public improvement I'm gonna make is to run you outta town.
- Ivy Higgins: If anything happens to you, I'll run myself, and I bet I can fill the chair.
- Hattie Burns: [looks at Ivy's backside and feels her own hips] No, no, not as well as I could.
- Ivy Higgins: Oh, Hattie, stop that. Do you wanna sit in the mayor's seat with red eyes?
- Hattie Burns: Can't I blubber if I'm happy?
- Ivy Higgins: It's those foreigners that come over here and ruin our city.
- Hattie Burns: Is it?
- Ivy Higgins: Mm hmmm.
- Hattie Burns: Well, if it hadn't been for a foreigner named Columbus you'd never of met Peter.
- Ivy Higgins: Well, I'd be better off if Columbus had stayed at home.
