Kay Everly : Try sticking around, Babe. I haven't seen you in a month.

-
Babe Stewart : You're sure Morton's check won't bounce back?

-
Kay Everly : All right, let's have it! Who'd you meet on that boat?
Babe Stewart : The steward's grandmother. And did she have "It".
-
Kay Everly : Babe, I miss you so! You can't let me down this way after what we've been to each other.
Babe Stewart : You know what gets me is why women can't laugh when it's over. It was all right, wasn't it? Whatcha bawlin' about? When you joined up with us it was a business proposition - pure and simple. Keep it simple, will ya.
-
Kay Everly : Why did you make love to me? Go on, tell me! Why did you?

Babe Stewart : I ever tell you I loved you? You bet I didn't! I'm a square shooter.
-
Charlie Vane : Babe, I sure wish you'd take me with ya. All right, all right. I won't say it again.
Babe Stewart : I told you I want you to keep eyes on Collins and your fists on Kay.
Charlie Vane : Do you really think she'd go to the DA?
Babe Stewart : Well, unless she trips over a new brand of kisses in a hurry. I can't take a chance.
-
Babe Stewart : Who's the live wire?
Clerk : That's Connie Randall, the librarian. A cute trip. But, oh boy, is she a handful.
-
Connie : Well, would you like Shakespeare?
Babe Stewart : Oh, Shakespeare's all right. But, you know how it is. Some nights you just don't feel like Shakespeare.
Connie : No.
-
Connie : You could be nice. Try it sometime.
Babe Stewart : I might even be nice if you liked it.
Connie : You write the words and the music, don't you?
Babe Stewart : Clever girl.
Connie : Yes, I thought I told you that.
-
Babe Stewart : See you at nine o'clock.
Connie : Sure of yourself, aren't you?
Babe Stewart : I wouldn't be if I was sure of you.
Connie : I have a date. I have a steady date, every night - with my bed.
-
Connie : Oh! You scared me. It's time to go. We'll be closing. It's nine o'clock.
Babe Stewart : What do you do with all the hearts you break? Hmm?
[long kiss]

Mrs. Randall : I bet Mr. Stewart doesn't hear any better preaching in New York than he heard today.
Babe Stewart : I'm afraid you're right, Mrs. Randall.
-
Willie Randall : What time you going up to the lake, Connie?
Babe Stewart : Going on a trip somewhere?
Willie Randall : Yeah, she's going up to Lake Inspiration with Charlie.
Babe Stewart : Oh, I see.
Mrs. Randall : The Get-Together Club goes up there every year. It's just a little crowd, dancing, running, games, you know.
-
Babe Stewart : It's acute, you mug. Very acute. You get me?
-
Babe Stewart : I suppose half of Glendale goes up to Lake Inspiration, hmm?
Clerk : No wonder. But, if you ask me, there's no sense in trekking way up there. The floors no good to dance on. I could never dance on it. Well, you can pass away the holiday right here in Glendale.
Babe Stewart : Yeah. You can pass away any day in Glendale.
-
Connie : What on earth are you doing way up here?
Babe Stewart : Well, you invited me up, didn't you?
Connie : Yes. But, I didn't think you'd accept.
Babe Stewart : I never disappoint a lady.
Connie : Oh, how thoughtful of you.
Babe Stewart : Well, here I am.
-
Babe Stewart : Now, let's talk this whole thing over.
Connie : Well, why don't you say something?
Babe Stewart : You're awfully sweet.
Connie : You think so?
Babe Stewart : Mm-hum. And that isn't all.
Connie : What else?
Babe Stewart : Oh, a lot of things.
-
Babe Stewart : It's very proper. We're dancing. Come on, you like this.
Connie : Well, I hadn't thought about it. Will you give me till tomorrow to answer?
[Babe squeezes Connie closer]
Connie : Please, you don't interest me that way, really. Doesn't that hurt your pride?
Babe Stewart : No. You're much too pretty.
-
Connie : Of course, I forgot. I promised Charlie I'd meet him at the dance.
Babe Stewart : Certainly. Why don't you go?
Connie : Because you fascinate me.
-
Connie : [Babe kisses Connie] You still refuse to be nice, don't you?
Babe Stewart : All right. What does a nice guy do? Sit around and talk?
Connie : Yes. I know some nice people who talk.
Babe Stewart : Lovely evening, isn't it.
Connie : Charming.
Babe Stewart : You think it will rain tomorrow?
Connie : Oh, it probably will. It's a holiday.
Babe Stewart : Well, that takes care of the weather.
-
Babe Stewart : Why keep kidding around like this?
Connie : I'm not kidding. Only, well, you just walk in and pick up a girl and walk out. Is that fair?
Babe Stewart : No. No, you're right.
-
Connie : Why don't you be a sport? Why don't you give a girl a break? Why don't you take a chance?
Babe Stewart : I don't get you?
Connie : Have you ever gambled?
Babe Stewart : Yeah, I'll gamble on anything.
Connie : Why don't you gamble with me.
-
Babe Stewart : Well, here we go.
[Babe takes Connie's coat, takes off her hat, takes her purse out of her hands]
Babe Stewart : You know its all right.
[Connie embraces Babe. Next scene shows Connie smiling in bed, in her negligee, with the night train they are riding on coming out of a tunnel]
-
Charlie Vane : Hello, you mug!
Babe Stewart : Hello, pie face! How are you?
Charlie Vane : Oh, swell.
-
Connie : Darling, don't keep me waiting too long. I'm liable to get lonesome.
Babe Stewart : All right, honey.
-
Charlie Vane : You're not really gonna bring along that kid from the sticks?
Babe Stewart : You wait till you see her all dolled up. You know, I have a hunch she'll make Kay and all the others look like a pair of deuces.
-
Babe Stewart : Honey, you knocked 'em dead tonight.
Connie : What a break for little Connie. The only girl with four men. You can't deny I was the most popular woman there.
-
Babe Stewart : This is New York. Anything can happen.
-
Babe Stewart : Darling, don't be funny so early in the morning. I never laugh until I've had my coffee!
-
Babe Stewart : I'd like to get up a party some night for Connie. You know any nice girls?
Charlie Vane : Certainly not.
Babe Stewart : You wouldn't!
-
Babe Stewart : I'm not alibiing myself. Card-sniping is the only racket I've ever known. That's all there is to that.
-
Babe Stewart : I changed my mind about your staying here. You're going back to Glendale.
Connie : But I like it here.
Babe Stewart : I'm not going to leave you in this hard boiled town. You're going back to Glendale on the next train.
-
Babe Stewart : If I wasn't such a toughie, you'd get under my skin.
Connie : You're not so tough.
Babe Stewart : No? You don't think so, huh?
-
Babe Stewart : I don't want anymore gum shoes trailing me. Things have got to be different from now on.
'Dickie' Collins : Oh, now I getcha. She's a blonde, isn't she?
-
Babe Stewart : Keep her away from there when Connie gets there.
Charlie Vane : What'll I do? Chloroform her?
Babe Stewart : No, give her ether. It last longer.
-
Babe Stewart : What do they sell in South America?
Trinkets Dealer : Oh, eh, shawls, dolls, Indian baskets, Panama hats, monkeys, love birds, coffee. What do you want?
Babe Stewart : Well, it's got to have a South American label.
Trinkets Dealer : Here, this pottery: Valparaiso. See it on the bottom.
-
Babe Stewart : She thinks I'm working. What am I gonna do in the daytime?
Charlie Vane : Well, when you make up your mind, write me letter.
-
Charlie Vane : [after Babe enters his apartment and shakes him awake in the morning] At half past eight in the morning - have you gone mad?
Babe Stewart : I've been up for an hour - put out of my house to go to work.
Charlie Vane : Work? Now listen, I don't wanna be wakened in the middle of the night to hear funny stories.
[sic]
Babe Stewart : What are we gonna do about that girl?
Charlie Vane : That's your problem - don't bother me.
-
Connie : You don't care for this sort of life any more than I do.
Babe Stewart : You know more about me that I know about myself, don't you?
Connie : Maye I do. Maybe I know something about you that you don't know anything about. Maybe I didn't just marry you on the flip of a coin.
