Quotes 

• Alan : Women like you won't do. I won't spend the rest of my life looking at shadows on the wall.

• Alan : And now for the wicked city.

  Lisbeth Corbin : And a struggle for life, liberty and elbow room.

  Alan : Ha-ha. With 8 million slaves. Gosh, how I hate it.

  Lisbeth Corbin : We're the only free ones! Us two.

  Alan : And thus we'll stay.

  Lisbeth Corbin : Yes sir!

• Harry : Well, for goodness sake, I thought you were in Timbuktu or the South Pole or some place?

  Alan : Hello, Harry, I just got in.

• Geneva : Well, shades of Santa Claus!

  Alan : Hello, Geneva

  Geneva : Have you phoned upstairs?

  Alan : I just arrived.

  Geneva : Well, here's my key. Number three-ten. Now, don't phone and don't knock. Walk right in and say, eh, eh, Merry, eh, Fourth of July or Chinese New Year. Ha-ha.

• Alan : I'd hate terribly to hurt you.

  Lisbeth Corbin : Why, haven't you heard? Nowadays a girl may kiss - and ride on. Just as well as any man ever could.

  Alan : Let's see.

  Lisbeth Corbin : No-no. You came to explain, not to make love.

• Alan : Lisbeth, you're the darling of the world.

  Lisbeth Corbin : Ha-ha. And that's from an expert.

• Alan : Gosh, you're lovely!

  Lisbeth Corbin : Ha-ha. And we can always be good friends?

  Alan : Oh, yes.

• Lisbeth Corbin : It sounds like, fare-the-well.

  Alan : It's wrong to end so sweet a chapter like this. I'm going to a charming spot. Where the sun is warm, no noise, no hurry. Lazy people play funny music in the moonlight.

  Lisbeth Corbin : No wonder you love your job.

  Alan : Are you saying no?

• Alan : Do you know you haven't kissed me?

  Lisbeth Corbin : Ha-ha. Why, so I haven't, have I?

  Alan : You did, once or twice, you know.

  Lisbeth Corbin : Yes, but, I realize now we were - almost strangers.

  Alan : And I didn't half know how marvelous you are.

• Lisbeth Corbin : I wish we'd been born here. If we had, I wonder what would have happened?

  Alan : Well, some Saturday night I should probably have put on my best pair of velveteen panties, sneaked up under your window, sung a serenade and then said...

  [Goat bleats] 

  Alan : Ha-ha. Or, words to that effect.
